What is Butter?

Butter is a platform built with tools to host interactive workshops, training sessions and live courses.

Butter allows users to put their focus and energy into running collaborative sessions. With Butter, users can prep, run and synthesise workshops from one tool.

The vendor's value proposition is:

🚀 Less app- or tab-switching. Collaborate using different tools that are directly integrated to Butter (e.g. Miro, Google Drive, YouTube and Whiteboard).

🚪 An entire session can be planned in advance. Set up the agenda, polls, timers and breakouts ahead of the session.

💥 Brings more energy to sessions. Make sessions delightful and interactive with fun reactions, GIF chats and polls. Its chats are presented as powerful and versatile: everything from threaded messages, photo sharing, facilitator-only chats, DM’s to broadcasting options is possible.

🤝 Breakout management. Breakouts can be set up ahead and allow people to move between rooms. With Peek, there's no need to jump into another room to hear what participants are talking about.

đź—‚ Recaps for sessions can be accessed. Includes chat logs, recordings and poll results at the end of each workshop from the dashboard.

đź”— No installs needed. Butter runs on a browser and people can join just with a link.
