When to use Remesh Live
We recommend conducting a Live Conversation if you want to engage with your audience in real-time and pivot in the moment. Examples include:
- Brainstorming and idea generation with a group. The ability to follow up on participant comments allows you to creatively brainstorm ideas quickly with a large group.
- You want to get quick feedback or compare ideas or concepts. You can often walk away from a Live Remesh Conversation with an idea of next steps and how your audience feels.
- Engaging with employees who are burnt out on surveys. The Live experience is much different and more engaging than a traditional survey.
- Building trust with employees. Adding on-the-fly messages and targeted probing questions can build trust and help employees feel heard.
When to use Remesh Flex
We recommend Remesh Flex in situations where it may be challenging to get all participants to access at the same time. Examples include:
- Participants are across multiple time zones. Participants can easily access a Flex Conversation when convenient to them.
- You are targeting a challenging participant group such as doctors or hourly workers. Flex requires less time commitment as well as the flexibility of sharing responses at their own pace.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will Remesh save a participant's progress if they leave and return to a Flex conversation?
