This is the front door. Everyone in the company opens the same page, signs in once, and every tool they need is one click away. No second password. No "which app was that in".

i. Chat

Every conversation, in one room.

Channels for the work, direct messages for the people, mentions when it matters. The conversation sits next to the task, the deal and the document it is about.

  • Channels, direct messages and mentions
  • Bold, italic and code in every message
  • Notifications for the things addressed to you, and nothing else

  • Projects, labels, owners, due dates
  • My tasks, all open, recently done

viii. Copilot

A second brain, on every call.

Copilot listens to the call, writes the notes, catches the action items and the open questions, and suggests what to say next. It runs on your own computer, so nothing you say is sent anywhere.

  • Works with Meet, Zoom or Teams in the browser, or in the room
  • Notes, action items and open questions, live
  • Runs on your computer. Nothing is sent anywhere

  • Transcribed on your own computer, in seven languages
  • The audio never leaves. Only the text is saved

The sixteenth is yours.

The suite keeps growing, and it grows where clients need it. If your company runs on a tool that is not on this page, tell us. It may well be the one we build next, and it will be on the seat you already have.
