Smooth free for life
Skip awkward roll call
Keep meeting details private
Participation
Post once. Tag TaoBot. You’re in.
No scavenger hunt, screenshots, or form required. Start with LinkedIn if you want the simplest fit, or use another public social platform where TaoBot can review the post. Tag TaoBot’s official account and include #SmoothOperatorChallenge so we can spot your entry.
Share the meeting-start chaos.
Post a short privacy-safe story about roll call, mystery Zoom names, late arrivals, awkward nudges, or “are we waiting on anyone?”
Make it count.
Use #SmoothOperatorChallenge and tag TaoBot’s official account so your post is easy to find and count toward the first 5,000.
If the tag gets weird or your post is hard to find, no stress — send us the public link from the bottom of this page.
Where to post
Use the platform that fits your story.
LinkedIn is the default launch lane because TaoBot is built for people who run real meetings. Short-form platforms work best when the story is visual, funny, or easy to replay.
Best default
Share the professional version: the first five minutes of Zoom should not be roll call, and meeting readiness should not depend on memory.
Best demo
YouTube Shorts
Show the before and after: chaotic roll call, TaoBot readiness snapshot, then the meeting starts cleanly.
Best skit
Instagram or TikTok
Act out the funny version: “iPhone,” “Conference Room 3,” mystery initials, and the host trying to guess who is actually here.
Best short take
X
Post the sharp line: roll call is a workflow smell. Add the hashtag, tag TaoBot, and point people to smoother meetings.
What to post
Copy one of these and make it yours.
Keep it short, funny, and safe. Use fictional names or no names. Tag TaoBot’s official account and include the hashtag so the entry is easy to find and reshare.
- “The first 5 minutes of Zoom should not be…”
- “Roll call is a workflow smell because…”
- “A meeting is ready when…”
- “The worst Zoom name mismatch I have seen was…”
- “I knew we needed TaoBot when…”
Privacy-safe by design
Post the joke, not the private meeting.
TaoBot is a meeting readiness assistant, not a recorder, transcript tool, or employee surveillance product. The challenge should not expose private workplace content.
Do not post
Do not post private meeting details.
Avoid meeting names, calendar titles, internal project names, customer names, and confidential context.
Do not post
Attendee names.
Use fictional names or general descriptions. Do not call out a real coworker or customer.
Do not post
Screenshots or recordings.
Skip meeting screenshots, calendar screenshots, chat logs, audio, video, transcripts, or screen recordings.
Do post
The general chaos.
Keep the story relatable: mystery names, late arrivals, roll call, awkward nudges, and “are we waiting on anyone?”
Eligibility
What “first 5,000” means
Entries are considered in the order the TaoBot team finds or receives them. To qualify, your post must be public or accessible for review, include #SmoothOperatorChallenge, tag TaoBot’s official account when platform tagging is available, follow the privacy-safe posting rules, and be tied to an active TaoBot account.
Smooth free for life
Smooth-for-life grants are account-specific, non-transferable, and available while TaoBot continues to offer the Smooth plan, subject to fair use, account standing, and challenge terms.
The TaoBot team has the final decision on eligibility, entry order, and who receives a Smooth-for-life grant.
Smooth is TaoBot’s personal plan for one organizer who owns the roster, reminders, and follow-up. It does not include Together or Scale workspace entitlements.
Backup plan
Can’t tag us? No stress.
The easiest entry is still a public post that tags TaoBot’s official account and uses #SmoothOperatorChallenge. If the tag does not work or your post is hard to find, just send us the link and we’ll check it.
