The challenge

Scattered communication, missed messages

The team used WhatsApp for quick questions, email for formal communication and a separate system for appointments. Messages got lost between channels. Appointments were double-booked or completely forgotten.

Business messages spread across personal apps
Scheduling appointments through back-and-forth emails
No separation between work and personal chat
Important decisions impossible to find in chat history

Features

Business chat at the next level

Realtime Chat

Messages appear instantly for the recipient. No delay, no refresh. Read receipts and typing indicators provide context about the conversation status.

Calendar Integration

Schedule appointments directly from the chat window. Choose date and time with the built-in picker. The appointment appears in the calendar of all participants.

Group Conversations

Create groups per team, project or topic. Admins set permissions and determine who can join. Groups are searchable and archivable.

Smart Notifications

Push notifications for direct messages and mentions. Group notifications are silent unless you are mentioned. Quiet hours configurable per user.

End-to-end Encryption

Messages are encrypted from sender to recipient. Even the server cannot read the content. Meets business security requirements.

Offline Support

Messages are stored locally when connection is lost. As soon as the network returns, everything syncs automatically.
