How it works

Three steps. Then you're chatting.

01

Spin up a workspace

Pick a name, drop your team, done. No 12-step setup; no per-channel onboarding.

Invite your team

Send a link, paste an email list, or whitelist your domain so new hires auto-join.

Talk, in channels that stay organized

Threads, drafts, scheduled sends, search across everything — it just works.

Threads that stay quiet

Reply in thread. Channel stays scannable; the conversation keeps its room.

Search across everything

Messages, files, people, channels, canvases. Filter by who, where, when.

A shared doc tied to the room — paste a message, embed a file, write the runbook.
