Kwoji vs Donut
In short. Donut introduces colleagues to each other in Slack or Microsoft Teams, posts conversation topics and automates onboarding journeys. Kwoji gets whole groups playing short games in the browser, and measures team mood with Kwoji Pulse. Many teams would use both.

- you want to automate the messages of an onboarding journey.

Both together?
