Transforming async video into an AI-powered B2B workspace

Overview

Overview

How do you take a beloved consumer video app and flip it into a powerful B2B communication tool? As the lead product designer, I defined and designed a private Beta that opened up an entirely new revenue stream for Marco Polo. From discovery to MVP and beyond, I shaped the AI-driven features, iterations, and workflows that proved async video isn't just for friends and family anymore—it’s the future of team collaboration.

Scaling the core of async-video chat

The core of the Marco Polo consumer product (async-video messaging) resonated with a growing segment of business users, but improvements were crucial to scale the product for SMBs.

I identified key themes through research, such as inbox management. These findings helped prioritize our approach for the MVP and AI-powered enhancements to empower users to catch up quickly when they couldn't watch every video message.

Beyond the features

To ensure business users engaged and effortlessly ramped up, I worked on go-to-market web surfaces and onboarding to quickly get teams connected and using the platform. Iterative improvements to suggested steps and confirmation moments swiftly got users to experience the aha! moment and strengthened retention.
