Cobot is a software tool created to help managers of coworking spaces automate repetitive tasks like member signups, payments, communication and reporting. It allows members to sign up for plans, make payments, and managers to track usage, send messages to members and get metrics on space usage and turnover. Cobot aims to reduce the administrative workload for coworking space managers through automation and integration with other tools.
