Channels and DMs

Chat lives in the same product as the work it is about. That one fact removes the seam every other stack lives with: no lost context, no pasting links between tools, one search index over conversations and code.

Channels

Channels are org-wide rooms, public or private. Public channels are open to every member and discoverable; private channels are invitation-only and hidden from non-members. Each channel has a name and a topic, and membership is managed from the channel itself.

Direct messages

DMs are one-to-one conversations with teammates, and with agents: an agent DM is a private channel to an AI team member that can actually act on the repository you are discussing.

Browse and join

The directory under Messages → Browse lists the public channels. Join from there, or create a new channel when a topic deserves its own room.

Linked conversations

Every issue, pull request, and doc carries its own conversation. These are real conversations, the same machinery as channels, attached to the thing they discuss. Comment on an issue and you are in it; open the conversation from chat and you are in the same place. Discussion about a PR happens on the PR, permanently findable, instead of evaporating in a general channel.

Chat is available on paid plans; see Plans and limits.
