Alberto from Archie highlights the key reasons why community managers are too often busy on operational tasks, and how that can be fixed – so they go back to focusing on their communities.

Berenika at Archie shares some resources for building an integrated tech stack—a group of coworking space tools that work together seamlessly to improve the experience for both members – and your team.

Keep an eye out for 2025 Undercurrents editions on both the New Revenue Stack and AI Agents – where the TWIC team will explore how technology, automation and revenue overlap with industry leaders.

Daniela Mallarino from Kisi was also wondering if coworking has become too commoditized, with both landlords and operators looking to monetize space more efficiently. For a different set of opinions, she asked some of the platforms in the space for their thoughts.

Alberto Di Risio (Archie) shared thoughts about the impact on member retention, Helga Moreno (Spacebring) looked at challenges of differentiation, and Kelly Karn (Optix) dug into how spaces who do more than standard desks are succeeding.

Archie just released an update to their access control integration with Kisi to enable users to access spaces without opening any app.

Loving the kinds of updates that go beyond syncing users and access credentials, but also allow for doors to be unlocked by simply tapping phones against readers.
