How do remote mentoring pairs meet and stay in touch?
Each pair or group has in-app messaging for the days between meetings. Meetings are scheduled through the Google Calendar and Outlook integration, so a session lands on each connected participant's calendar without an email thread. Nothing in the program depends on people sharing an office, a floor or a time zone.
What do AI meeting summaries add?
The AI copilot helps with meeting prep and writes a session summary after a meeting. That gives a remote pair a record of what was agreed without one person taking minutes. The next meeting can then start from where the last one ended, even when the pair works in different time zones and rarely overlap.
How do hybrid teams hear about meetings and updates?
Every meeting reminder goes out by email. On Starter and above, match updates, reminders and milestones can also arrive as a Slack or Teams direct message, so people see them where they already work. Each person can mute any of seven notification types. Details are on the Slack and Teams page.
Can a remote program start with a free pilot?
Yes. The Free Pilot covers up to 10 participants with no time limit and no credit card. It includes in-app messaging, Google Calendar and Outlook scheduling, goals and a basic dashboard. Slack and Teams delivery, reports and export start on Starter. Run one cohort first, then decide whether to move up a plan.

Common questions
- What does a remote or hybrid mentoring program need?
- A remote or hybrid program needs mentoring that does not depend on sharing an office. In practice that means in-app messaging for each pair, calendar scheduling across time zones, meeting records, and a way to spot pairs that have gone quiet. MentorStack covers each of these without extra tools.
- How do remote pairs schedule meetings in MentorStack?
- Pairs schedule through Google Calendar and Outlook calendar integration, and each match page keeps its meetings in one place. Meeting reminders go out by email, and on Starter and above they can also arrive as Slack or Teams direct messages, which helps distributed teams that work in chat.
- Does MentorStack summarize mentoring meetings?
- The AI Copilot writes a prep brief before a session and a summary after each logged session, shared with both participants as a reference for the next meeting. These features use AI credits from a shared monthly pool: 8 on the Free Pilot, 25 on Starter and 40 on Growth.
- Can a distributed team test MentorStack first?
- A distributed team can run the Free Pilot with up to 10 participants, with no time limit and no credit card. That is enough to test messaging, calendar scheduling and AI summaries with one cohort. Slack and Teams delivery is added when the team moves to Starter.
