@Maya gave a shoutout to @Sam + 100 coins

You jumped on the customer escalation Friday night without being asked and had it sorted before Monday. The client even wrote in to say thanks. You saved the week — appreciate you 🙌

Overview

One Slack app. Every part of recognition, handled.

Culture Engine is not a recognition feed bolted onto an HR tool. It's a complete system — rewards, milestones, analytics, and AI draft help — woven into the channels your team already lives in.

    @Sarah gave a shoutout to @Gabriel + 20 coins

    Stayed late on Thursday to land the GreenLeaf migration. The team would have slipped without you.

    @Liz gave a shoutout to @Avery + 15 coins

    Coached a new joiner through their first week — patient, generous, kind.

    Care

Lives where your team already does.

No second login, no mobile app, no browser extension. Recognition happens inside your Slack channels — visible, public, and part of the day.

💸

Real rewards, not points

3,500+ redemption options — gift cards like Amazon, Apple, Target, and Starbucks, prepaid Visa cards, and charitable donations.

🤖

AI draft help on Pro

On the Pro plan, ask the bot for a first draft of your shoutout, then edit and send. You'll still write the meaning.

📊

Analytics

Shoutouts, participation, and where appreciation is flowing — team-level trends, never individual rankings.

🎂

Birthdays & anniversaries, automatic

Culture Engine posts birthdays and work anniversaries so nobody has to remember.

Features

Built for how real teams actually work.

The mechanics that make recognition stick — without anyone having to think about mechanics.

Coin allowances

Every teammate gets Coins to give away — every week.

You set a weekly allowance. It refreshes automatically. Anything unspent expires, so Coins flow instead of pooling on a few generous people.

  • Per-member weekly allowances
  • Auto-refresh on the schedule you choose
  • Top-up only when redeemed — never for unsent coins

How it works

From quiet effort to team-wide recognition in three steps.

✨
01

Someone does great work

It happens every week. It usually goes unrecognised.

💸
02

A teammate sends a shoutout with Coins

Inside Slack. Takes 10 seconds. Real rewards, not points.

🎉
03

It posts in #culture-engine for the whole team

The bot reacts. Others pile on. It becomes a weekly habit.

Your team could be doing this by Friday.

Why Culture Engine

Built for teams who've tried recognition before — and watched it fade.

Six things we get right that the legacy platforms still don't.

Real rewards, not points

Coins redeem for real rewards — 3,500+ options including Amazon, Apple, and prepaid Visa cards. No internal "store" nobody shops at.

Slack-native, end to end

Every action — sending, receiving, redeeming, configuring — happens inside Slack. No second login, no separate app to teach.

AI draft help on Pro

Stuck on the words? Ask the bot for a first draft, then make it yours. You'll approve every word before it sends.

Privacy-first by design

Encryption in transit and at rest, least-privilege Slack scopes, and we never sell your data or train AI on it.

You only pay for what redeems

Coin balances don't bill until they're actually redeemed. No shrinkage tax on unsent appreciation.

Real humans behind it

Email us and a real person replies within one business day. A small team that ships every week.

See the difference yourself
Why it works

Recognition that actually means something.

Most recognition tools give you badges and points. Your team stops noticing them fast. Culture Engine attaches real rewards to every shoutout — redeemable for gift cards, prepaid cards, and donations across 3,500+ options. When appreciation has real value, people actually participate.

No points. No badges. Real rewards.

AI Assistant

It helps you write it.

Know someone earned a shoutout but stuck on the words? On the Pro plan, ask Culture Engine for a first draft. Give it the gist — “Chris stayed late to land the client launch” — and it returns a message you can edit and send in seconds.

You ask for it. You approve every word. The recognition stays yours — the bot just gets you past the blank box.

You asked for a draft to recognise Chris for the client pitch. Here's one — tweak anything before it posts:

“Chris, you absolutely carried that pitch — the prep you did made all the difference. Sending you 25 Coins because you earned it.”

Only you can see this · you approve every word before it posts

FAQs

Everything you need to know about us.

Honest answers below — and a real human at the other end if anything is still unclear.

  • Recognition tools fail when they're clunky or symbolic. Culture Engine lives inside Slack where your team already works — the bot reminds people, reacts to shoutouts, and AI can hand you a first draft when you're stuck on the words. There's no separate app to learn or open.
