The business OS · Team chat

One directory.
One conversation.

Direct and group messaging for people who are already in your HRMS, with the permissions they already have. Nobody is invited twice and nobody is left in a channel after they leave the company.

The problem with a separate chat tool. Its user list drifts from your real one within a quarter, and the leavers are the ones nobody removes.

Messaging

Direct and group, in real time.

One person or manyDirect messages and group conversations over the same connection, delivered live rather than polled.
The same peopleParticipants come from the company directory, so joining the company joins the chat and leaving removes it.
Files in your DriveWhat gets shared lands in your own storage, under your own retention — not in a chat vendor’s bucket.
While you type

The signals that make a chat feel live.

Typing indicatorsStart and stop are both broadcast, so the indicator clears instead of hanging when someone changes their mind.
Read receiptsMessages marked as read, so you can tell the difference between unseen and ignored.
Edit and deleteA sent message can be corrected or withdrawn rather than followed by three lines of correction.
PresenceStatus updates so the directory shows who is actually around.
Groups

Created, joined and left.

Create a groupFor the project, the branch or the incident, without an administrator provisioning it.
Add and remove membersMembership is managed in the conversation, and leaving is something a member can do themselves.
Calls from the conversationA call can be started from where the discussion already is, and declined or hung up like any other.
Why it is here

Because the alternative is another login.

One permission modelWhoever can see a project can see its conversation. There is no second set of access rules to maintain.
Included in the blockChat is part of the seat you already bought rather than a per-user charge on top of it.

Stop paying per user to talk to each other.

It is on the seat block you already have, with the directory you already keep.
