Slack lacked voice support, and alternatives were unreliable. 6sense HQ created Voom to fill the gap.
Voom is a browser-based voice messaging tool for teams: record, get a link, send — no app switching, unstable recorders, or ads. It integrates with Slack; recordings are unlimited, encrypted, and downloadable as high-quality MP3s. Built in 2018–2019 when Slack had no voice messaging and alternatives were unreliable, expensive, or ad-heavy.

Before Voom, quick voice updates meant workarounds with tools that weren't built for teams.
Slack lacked voice messaging
Ten-second updates that would take minutes to type had no home in the team's primary workflow.
Alternatives were unreliable
Browser tools like Vocaroo felt unprofessional; polished options like Loom were inconsistent — recordings sometimes failed or were lost.
Ads made them unusable
Full-featured tools were expensive or bloated; free options added ads and clutter that made daily use impractical.
One designer, one developer, one QA, and one PM built Voom in one month across three sprints.
Recording and sharing
Open the browser, record, get a link, send — no installs, accounts, or extra steps.
Slack integration
Voice messages fit the existing Slack workflow — as easy as sharing a file.
Designed for daily use
No ads, upsells, or unnecessary screens — clean, reliable, and unobtrusive.
A one-month internal build that stayed ruthless about simplicity.
Week one design, middle sprints for development, final two weeks for bugs and feedback — usable and high-quality by design.
Every feature answered one question: does it help send a voice message faster? Friction got cut.
Daily internal use before release surfaced rough edges early without formal user tests.
A fully working internal voice tool in thirty days.
1 month to a fully working internal tool.
Unlimited recordings — no time or session limits.
Encrypted, private storage accessible only to the user.
100% sprint completion — zero ads, no upsells, no clutter.

Internal product | LinkedIn automation / sales tech
LinkedIn automation tools kept breaking when the API changed, cost too much to justify, and gave teams less control than they needed. So the 6sense HQ engineering team built their own.
