What we believe in
Our values are not just a formality, but principles we follow in our daily work. They are indicative of the environment we have built and are what we look for in anyone who wants to be a part of our mission!
- Proactivity: we set ambitious goals, we hold ourselves to high standards in our work - we learn quickly, sometimes we make mistakes and then we learn even faster. We believe our work matters and changes the world for the better!
- Curiosity: we are creative and look for inspiration everywhere, we are willing to experiment, validating every idea and solution with relevant data.
- Collaborative: we deal with challenges thanks to mutual cooperation and active participation, find disagreements useful and respect the opinion of the person across the table. We believe that trust is built every day with openness, principle and authenticity.
- Individuality: being creative does not mean being perfect. It is in the imperfections of each of us that lies what makes us unique. We embrace our differences, accept our imperfections and celebrate our successes!
Our key products and services are:
- Smule - our largest scale product that allows anyone to sing solo, in a duet with a friend, stranger, popular artist, or in a group. The app offers a huge selection of styles and songs, as well as various audio and video filters. The social element in the app is key: a personal profile, a featured content feed, comments and messages.
- AutoRap - an interesting app for those who wish to record and share original rhymes and rap songs. It's based on technology that turns speech into rap and adjusts the sound to fit the beat - whether from a hip-hop hit or music added by yourself.
- Magic Piano - a music game that lets anyone play the piano by following the glowing bubbles that point to the correct tone. You control the rhythm and tempo, and the available songs include timeless classics and current pieces in a variety of genres, from Mozart to Scorpions to Bruno Mars.
