Search with the power of Google

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.

Protect your data

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.

Smarter chat with bots

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.
