Ayoa

Ayoa is an all-in-one online whiteboard app where you can brainstorm ideas, work together and get things done. I am the founder and CEO of OpenGenius and we launched Ayoa in June 2019.

The working world as we know it is changing rapidly - just think of how quickly many of us have had to adapt to working remotely, for example. Without innovative technologies, this transition would have been far less seamless. We need innovation to help us overcome unique challenges and find new and better ways of doing things – enter Ayoa.

Ayoa is backed by over 15 years of experience and expertise in innovative technology, encased in a beautiful, positive, and inspiring UI. There are lots of good mind mapping, task management, and whiteboard tools out there, but Ayoa has something more for those who want to shake things up and go the extra mile. Why use multiple different tools when you can access everything in one place? 
Flexibility and teamwork are more important now than ever. Ayoa’s flexibility and all-in-one collaborative workspace are unrivaled. Ayoa is unique in this aspect in that it has whiteboarding, powerful mind mapping, and task management all in one place.

The great thing about Ayoa is that it is extremely flexible and can be used in virtually any way you want, especially now that we have launched whiteboards. However, some of the most popular users for teams and individual users are to brainstorm ideas for projects and create detailed plans for meetings and campaigns.

The options truly are endless. This is why we’ve created an extensive template library so users can get started quickly - whether they want to create a to-do list, take meeting notes, or conduct an in-depth analysis of their ideas. Visit www.ayoa.com/templates to see over 50 different ways you can utilize Ayoa to help your thinking.

In terms of industries, we have customers in a range of areas some of which include IT/software, consultancy, healthcare and finance.

We believe that email threads and switching between multiple apps are outdated workplace concepts. By offering everything our customers need an all-in-one, including brainstorming, planning, collaborative, and teamworking functionality, we’re allowing teams and individuals to enhance and streamline their work processes.

Also, Ayoa is incredibly unique in that it caters to neurodiversity and neuro-inclusivity. This means that Ayoa is designed to support both neurodivergent (which may include those with dyslexia, AHDH, or autism) and neurotypical people, allowing them to work effectively together in one workspace.

We have an average rating of 4.5 stars from 1,000+ reviews across various rating platforms, so we generally get lots of great feedback about Ayoa from our amazing customers. Because we’re a relatively small company and have an in-house development team, we can be relatively quick in developing Ayoa and making changes that are requested by our customers. We pride ourselves on listening to our customers’ needs and developing a product that can be adapted to such a wide range of use cases.

Yes, we run a subscription service where customers can subscribe to our monthly or annual plans. Many of our customers have been with us since we launched in 2019.

Absolutely. We provide extensive user guides, tutorial videos, weekly webinars, and one-to-one demos to help our customers get started with Ayoa. We also have a fantastic customer support team who are always happy to help.
Furthermore, Ayoa is not just a tool – it’s a methodology. The Ayoa way of working gives users the speed and fluidity to capture and grow great ideas, instantly action them and develop better working practices. Our mission is to change the way people think about work. We help teams and individuals build a link between creativity and productivity by providing the tools they need to work and collaborate with ease.

This methodology is reinforced throughout Ayoa, where we also have several templates supporting various theories, thinking practices, and processes, including templates from my latest book, The Creative Thinking Handbook, on which Ayoa is based.

All customers can contact our customer support team via email, phone, and social media, in addition to accessing our help guides and videos. We run free webinars every month on various topics including ‘getting started with Ayoa’ where viewers are also given the opportunity to ask any further questions. For larger teams, we offer personalized demos and onboarding support.

The past 12 months have been really exciting for Ayoa, seeing the launch of a number of new features that we’re extremely proud of! This year and beyond, we want to focus on fine-tuning our features and making continuous improvements to the app, so we can provide our users with the best possible experience. Ayoa is still a very young app, and we will strive to deliver technology that doesn’t get in the way of the thinking process. We also aim to integrate even more process-based methodologies with Ayoa.
