Google Chat
Simplify 1:1 messaging and group collaboration
Use Chat straight from Gmail, or as a standalone app. Seamlessly integrated tools help you keep track of all your work communications and choose the right channel for every conversation.
Spaces are the central place for teams to engage in topic-based discussions, share knowledge and ideas, move projects forward and build communities and team culture.
Use Chat and Spaces to collaborate seamlessly on content with Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. Easily find past conversations or files with Google’s powerful search, and let bots and smart suggestions help you connect with meeting participants and get more done, faster.
Powerful, filterable search across Chat and email threads makes it easy to find what you need, when you need it. Search acts as a collective team memory, allowing you to review past discussions and decisions.
Take advantage of the same secure-by-design infrastructure, built-in protection, and global network that Google uses to secure your information and safeguard your privacy. We encrypt your data in transit and at rest, and our array of default-on anti-abuse measures helps to keep your organisation safe.
Easily integrate both Google and third-party apps – like Salesforce and Jira – to keep all of your notifications in one place, and use bots to automate simple tasks so that you can focus on what matters. Get started with bots.
