Since your website doesn't tell us, what is this?

yes. if you navigate to http://zeal.technology/meetava.html it should give a bit more info. our product is a chatbot named ava. she integrates with your slack team and gauges how your team is doing. she uses weak ai to gauge your morale, autonomy, mastery and a few other things. she is conversational and allows you to provide anonymous feedback to your company.

consider spelling it out like that on your front page. you've a two line description of what you do in the above that is 10x more informative and useful than what's currently there.

Thanks for the feedback! It really helps us revise what we do and do not show.

That page is SO much more informative. I let the video run for about thirty seconds before closing it, with no idea what you were selling or what problem you were trying to solve.

That should be the front page. It's informative.

thank you for the feedback. we really appreciate it and will make adjustments

Counterpoint: As I've said in other threads your front page should definitely have a clear, concise explanation, but I think your video explains it pretty clearly.

I do think a transparent pricing structure is important though. I generally assume that 'call us' means 'if you have to ask you can't afford it', and immediately skip over any service that doesn't let me immediately calculate a specific number I'll pay every month, and I assume that 'schedule a demo' is like 'schedule a webinar', and that you're targeting your business (and pricing structure) towards C-level execs or upper management rather than the people who are actually implementing policies.
