What is Rhythms?
Rhythms is a business orchestration platform that helps transform organization Into an Agile, AI-Powered Organization by aligning strategy with execution, providing real-time visibility into work and reducing manual overhead. In essence, it acts as an AI-powered operating system for your company: it connects high-level goals to daily tasks by discovering natural alignments and ensuring objectives seamlessly cascade into team members’ day-to-day work. This means everyone stays on the same page, and strategy turns into action without the usual friction.
How is Rhythms the same as Microsoft Viva Goals, and how is it better?
Rhythms builds on the foundation of Microsoft Viva Goals but takes it a step further by integrating AI-driven automation that eliminates the manual overhead of goal management. While both platforms help organizations set and track OKRs, Rhythms acts as an AI-powered business orchestration platform, proactively surfacing insights, identifying risks, and streamlining execution across teams. Unlike Viva Goals, which requires frequent manual updates, Rhythms’ AI agents automatically gather progress data from integrated tools like Jira, Salesforce, and Microsoft Planner, ensuring real-time visibility without extra effort from users.
Seamless migration from Viva Goals makes switching effortless—users can transfer all their OKRs, historical progress data, and team configurations in just a few clicks, with no disruptions or retraining required. But Rhythms goes beyond OKRs, supporting a broader range of business processes, from strategic reviews to operational cadences, ensuring that goals translate directly into execution. By combining intelligent automation with deep integrations, Rhythms provides a more comprehensive and proactive approach to business orchestration than Viva Goals, helping organizations move faster and stay aligned with minimal friction.
How does the AI in Rhythms work?
Rhythms’ AI is designed to automate goal management and drive execution by handling the tasks that traditionally require manual effort. It automatically gathers updates from connected tools like Jira, Salesforce, and Microsoft Planner, ensuring real-time progress tracking without constant manual check-ins. The AI also generates intelligent summaries, action items, and recommendations, helping teams stay aligned and focused on what matters most. By continuously monitoring OKRs and key projects, the AI can detect risks, identify bottlenecks, and surface issues before they impact outcomes, enabling proactive decision-making.
Beyond tracking progress, Rhythms' AI intelligently assists in OKR creation, cascading, and alignment. When setting goals, the AI provides smart OKR recommendations based on best practices and organizational priorities, ensuring that objectives are structured effectively. It then automatically links and cascades OKRs across teams, identifying natural dependencies and aligning individual efforts with company-wide goals. As work progresses, the AI dynamically adjusts insights, flags misalignments, and suggests course corrections to keep execution on track. By embedding intelligence into every stage of goal-setting and execution, Rhythms transforms strategy into seamless, AI-powered action.
How does Rhythms help improve decision-making across the organization?
Rhythms empowers leaders and teams with real-time insights into progress, challenges, and outcomes at every level of the organization. Instead of relying on static reports or waiting for scheduled meetings, users get live status updates and proactive alerts whenever something is off track. The platform’s AI continuously monitors key initiatives and OKRs, identifying risks and opportunities early so teams can address them before they escalate. This proactive visibility enables faster, data-driven decision-making, helping organizations stay agile and responsive to change.
To further streamline decision-making, users can set up custom reports that automatically update based on signals from multiple work systems, including tools like Jira, Salesforce, and Microsoft Planner, as well as data entered directly into Rhythms. These dynamic reports provide a centralized view of key metrics and priorities, ensuring that leaders always have the most relevant, up-to-date information at their fingertips. By surfacing critical insights and automating reporting, Rhythms eliminates the guesswork, allowing teams to focus on execution while ensuring alignment with company-wide objectives.
Can Rhythms work for different types of recurring business processes?
Yes. Rhythms isn’t limited to just OKR goal-setting—it’s designed to support any recurring workflow or “rhythm” your business follows. The platform can codify and automate processes ranging from daily team stand-ups and weekly check-ins to quarterly business reviews and annual strategic planning sessions. With built-in best practice templates, teams can quickly structure their existing workflows into repeatable, intelligent processes, ensuring consistency and alignment without adding extra administrative burden.
Rhythms enhances these processes with AI-powered automation, making it easier for teams to stay on track. The platform provides smart reminders to ensure critical updates and tasks aren’t missed, and it can auto-generate meeting agendas based on key project updates and system signals. Users can also create draft updates based on information pulled from work tools like Jira, Salesforce, and Microsoft Planner, reducing manual effort. During meetings, Rhythms can capture follow-up action items and track accountability, ensuring that decisions turn into concrete next steps. By embedding intelligence into recurring business processes, Rhythms streamlines operations, reduces friction, and helps teams stay focused on execution.
