What are they all for?
Groups, chats, and channels
Slashwork puts deep work first.
We wanted to build a place for focused, in depth discussions that don’t get interrupted by casual chit chat or automated data-stream posts. When your unread counts get out of hand, things get buried and it can feel impossible to find the information you need. That’s why we’ve streamlined communication into groups, chats, and channels. Slashwork separates out the crucial from the casual
Async
Groups are for focused discussions
Compose a group post to make a big announcement, ask for feedback on your latest work, or brainstorm ideas with your team. Group posts keep the conversation together in one place, so important information doesn't get fragmented or buried. Our AI-powered feed algorithm makes sure the most important things to you are always at the top of your feed, so you never miss out, even if you’re working async or across time zones.
Instant replies
Chats are for quick, casual communication
We’ve built chats to work just like WhatsApp or Messenger for instantaneous, informal communication. Need a file quickly? Want to see who is around for lunch today, or send a GIF to your work BFF? Chats are there to help you connect with your coworkers in real time.
data streams
Channels are the nexus for all your automated information streams and tools.
Channels are for information-dense, high volume content like error logs, website signups, GitHub commits, deployment logging. When your team needs one-click visibility into the events that drive your business, channels are the perfect solution.
