Cubicle seats a synthetic colleague at the desk beside you. It asks how the weekend was. It circles back. It reheats salmon at 11:30 sharp, because presence is a metric and someone has to hit it.
Cubicle files remote work as an attendance gap and closes it the way the office did: by being in the room whether you wanted it there or not.
A generative deskmate that types loudly, sighs at the quarter, and microwaves fish on a cadence tuned to your focus cycles. Deep work retains the full texture of an open floor plan. Cannot be muted on any plan.
Every morning Cubicle schedules one unprompted “got a sec?” and delivers it at the moment your concentration peaks. The question is never urgent. The interruption always lands. This is the product working.
Your webcam feeds a live engagement index that your org chart can see. Step away for coffee and the number falls. Return and it forgives you, slowly, at the rate the office used to.
Every quote below is from a seated user who tried turning Cubicle off and, on reflection, did not.
“Nobody had asked me ‘got a sec?’ in fourteen months. The first time Cubicle did, I closed my laptop and sat on the floor. Then I re-enabled it.”
“My ambient colleague reheats salmon at 11:30 on the dot. I have never once seen him. I have never once doubted he is real.”
“Presence Score flagged me as disengaged during my own performance review. My manager and I agreed the tool was correct.”
Every plan provisions at least one colleague. There is no plan that provisions none. We looked into it.
Provisioning takes under a minute. Deprovisioning is a conversation with your manager.
