Why teams switch
Three reasons teams move from Meta Workplace
No Meta data sharing
Workplace was a Meta product. Kayden Connect has no advertising business and no parent company to monetise your team data.
AI features Workplace never built
Content polish, co-pilot, quiz generation, and translation — all on the V1 roadmap. Workplace shut down before any of this shipped.
“TODO: real quote from a founding customer who switched. Replace before B8a.6 ships.”
