Chloe’s working world is chaotic. Meanwhile, thanks to Neat, Pete sails through his meetings and tasks with ease.

Complex Chloe and Neat Pete are two characters Neat has developed with UK illustrator Adam Gale to highlight the ups and downs of video collaboration in today’s fast-paced hybrid working and learning environments.

Meet Complex Chloe and Neat Pete.
%slide_no%of%slide_total%
Chloe is working from home and in a video meeting with several of her teammates back at the office.

However, Chloe’s struggling to contribute. She’s unable to see or hear them clearly and feels removed from the conversation.

Here’s how Chloe sees her teammates.

Also, because Chloe is using her laptop, her webcam presents her at an unflattering angle, making Chloe feel self-conscious and uncomfortable.

Here’s how Chloe’s teammates at the office see her.

Meanwhile, Neat Pete is at home and meeting with his teammates.

But as Pete’s teammates back at the office use a Neat device with Neat Symmetry, he can see and hear them crystal clear. Each of them is equally close-up on screen and he feels almost as though he’s in the same room. Pete is completely engaged.

Here’s how Pete sees his teammates.

At the same time, Pete’s teammates see him looking confident and relaxed, thanks to Pete using a Neat Frame.

Because of Neat Frame’s eye-level camera angle, Pete’s perfectly framed.

Later at their local coffee shop, Chloe and Pete bump into each other.

Chloe complains to Pete about feeling out of sync with her teammates.

Pete tells Chloe all about Neat, and how she and her team could enjoy more equitable and inclusive meetings.

Back at her desk, Chloe contacts a Neat specialist at neat.no for advice on getting the best device for her home and her company’s offices.

A few days later, Chloe is in another meeting with her teammates, but now she’s using a Neat Frame just like Pete, and everyone on her team is in symmetry, having installed a Neat device in one of their office spaces.

Happy, relaxed and enjoying closer collaboration, everyone’s
meeting experience feels more natural, and Chloe and her team thrive.

That’s Neat!

In their first story together, ‘Chloe Discovers How to Feel Closer to Her In-Office Teammates for Healthier Hybrid Working,’ Chloe is working from home but has yet to discover the clarity and simplicity of Neat. Instead, she’s muddling through meetings with her teammates back at the office on her laptop and struggling to see or hear them properly. As a result, Chloe can’t fully contribute and feels estranged and out of the loop. Likewise, her teammates are finding it difficult to interact with Chloe. 

Chloe’s working from home and struggling to contribute to meetings with her teammates back at the office and vice versa.

Pete is also working from home, but he and his team back at the office are using Neat devices and enjoying our leading-edge capability, Neat Symmetry, for a more meaningful and rewarding meeting experience. Neat Symmetry enables Pete to see his team members equally close up, despite him not being in the room with them, and he can easily engage with everyone there. 

Because Pete can clearly see and hear his teammates back at the office via Neat Symmetry, he feels almost as if he’s in the room with them.

Chloe Discovers

Finally, Chloe bumps into Pete, and he tells her about Neat and how she and her team could enjoy more equitable and inclusive meetings for a happier and healthier hybrid experience.

Find out how Chloe and her team eventually thrive by following Complex Chloe and Neat Pete in our debut Chloe Discovers eGuide series story.
