## About Commons
Commons is a voice-first communication platform that recreates an office-like environment where you can jump in and out of conversations with your team. Commons vs what you’re doing now 🔉 Talking is 7-10X faster than typing ⏳ Short n sweet, with most convos less than 4 mins (v. 30 min cal blocks) 🚫 We all have Zoom fatigue. Audio has less friction than video.
