Case Study: Olla streamlines async standups and cuts meetings with Yac

How Olla Works asynchronously with Yac

Olla, a small team led by co-founder and CEO Nico Nezhat, needed to overhaul a communication culture that relied too heavily on sporadic calls and live meetings. The company wanted to make asynchronous communication the default and reduce the time and productivity lost to synchronous standups and ad hoc discussions, so it turned to Yac for voice-based async communication.

With Yac, Olla shifted its Monday, Wednesday, and Friday standups — plus team leader weekly updates — from live meetings to async voice notes, supported by automatic transcription and Slack integration. The change helped the team save time, keep communication flowing, and cut most synchronous meetings, while also making it easier to handle quick creative discussions and casual internal questions without booking meetings.
