GIGILL is a small but specialized team of experienced practitioners focused on systems, behaviour, and the practical integration of levity.
With backgrounds spanning awkward silence management, operations, and meeting participation, the team strives to improve performance in work environments where outcomes are expected but not always observed.
Founder and CHITO (Chief Humour Integration Technology Officer)
Duke is a former energy professional turned strategic levity experimenter. After years of optimizing complex systems—and sitting through one too many update meetings—he began to suspect that humour might not be a distraction from work, but a tool for work environments. He founded GiGiLL to test that theory.
"Let’s just take a step back and overthink this."
- Duke
Director of After-Hours Engagement
Previously spotted rummaging through bins outside GiGiLL HQ, Gary brings a wealth of experiential knowledge in waste diversion, night shift morale, and strategic snack acquisition. Currently responsible for unannounced audits of leftover catering and accidental brilliance.
"Noted"
- Gary
Workplace Hazards Advisor
Once considered a hazard himself, Peely found new purpose in corporate culture disruption. Specializing in unexpected impacts, fall risk analysis, and comedic timing. Not technically certified, but still more qualified than several middle managers.
“I don’t think this is going to land the way you think it is.”
- Peely
Director of Outdated Digital References
A retired version of Microsoft Clippy, reprogrammed to offer tone-insensitive feedback on LinkedIn posts and support office operations, including the opening of locked filing cabinets. Approach is unconventional. Success is not guaranteed.
“It looks like you’re trying to humourize your brand. Would you like help with that?”
- Clipbot
VP of Boundary Enforcement
Cawleen joined GiGiLL after a misunderstanding involving the word “gaggle.” Now oversees policy enforcement, meeting tone, and territorial boundaries with unwavering intensity. Feathers may be ruffled. That’s intentional.
"I'm still unclear why there are no other geese here"
- Cawleen
Director of Circular Innovation
Long before “spinning up” meant deploying an AI agent, Toppie was already in motion. Toppie is an accomplished rotational device specializing in circular systems and repetitive dialogue. Passionate about maintaining momentum in environments where progress is optional, Toppie currently leads GiGiLL’s Meeting Room Props division.
“Yes, I can also spin upside down”
