Efficient communication for your business.
Learn how organized team chat will
make your team more productive.
Communication efficiency represents
a massive opportunity.
Communication consumes a huge fraction of time for managers and knowledge workers, and the workplace chat revolution has done nothing to reduce communication load.
Ironically, for some, email has now become the place for well-thought-out communications while workplace [chat] software has been inundated by thoughtless meme and emoji sharing.
Worse, chat communication on Slack or Microsoft Teams is disruptive, chaotic, and ephemeral.
The [chat] software goes from helping you work to making it impossible to get work done.
Zulip’s unique topic-based threading combines the best of email and chat to finally make efficient communication possible.
Use topics to organize the discussion
-
Like email threads, Zulip topics create a separate space for each discussion, so different conversations will never get in each other’s way.
-
Save time by reading the topics you care about, and skimming or skipping the rest.
-
See each message in context — no more scrolling up and down through dozens of messages to track down the topic of conversation.
-
Important messages won’t be missed, no matter what else is happening, and whether the thread is old or new.
In fact now it seems strange to me to just fire off messages in Slack with no subject – that's chaos, madness. The genius of subject lines is that you can quickly and easily catch up on the messages you missed in your off-hours... This feature alone saves me hours a week.
Focus work without disruptions
-
Maintain focus, pay attention in meetings, or work from another time zone. You can always reply in context even if you've been away from the conversation for hours or days.
-
Busy leaders and experts can participate on their own time, without incessant @-mentions clamoring for their attention.
-
Let others know whether you're around with emoji statuses and availability.
Zulip’s threading model makes it so much easier to manage my team. As a leader, in just a few minutes I can get an overview over what's going on and see where my attention is needed.Learn more about how the iDrift AS company uses Zulip ↗
Chat as a knowledge repository
-
With conversations organized by topic, you can review old discussions to understand past work, explanations, and decisions.
-
Link to a Zulip conversation from emails, docs, issue trackers, code comments, or anywhere else.
-
Topics make it easy to find the right conversation with Zulip's powerful full-text search.
-
Topic auto-complete lets you know when your idea or question has been discussed in the past.
We’ve been working remotely since 2016 and have learned a lot since we started. You can read about why @zulip is the most important communication and knowledge management tool in our company: https://monadical.com/posts/how-to-make-remote-work-part-two-zulip.html

Effective workflows with integrations
-
Native integrations for GitHub, Jira, PagerDuty, Sentry and hundreds of other tools can initiate new topics, creating lightweight discussion spaces for each issue.
-
Bots can also use a dedicated topic to avoid crowding out conversations.
-
Use topics to manage support workflows, answer questions, and collaborate to investigate issues. Mark the topic ✓ resolved when done!
-
Customize Zulip’s markup with linkifiers, so that “JIRA-1234” and “ZD-1234” automatically link to issues or tickets in the tools you use.
-
Connect to thousands of other products using Zapier. Integrations written for Slack can post into Zulip via the Slack compatible webhook.
-
Build your own integrations with Zulip’s easy-to-use RESTful API, client bindings, incoming webhooks, outgoing webhooks and interactive bot framework.
Zulip’s unique threading saves me well over an hour a day in working with our distributed team of engineers and PMs across 7+ time zones. We tried Slack, Mattermost, and other team chat products that claim to support threading, and nothing handles synchronous and asynchronous communication so intuitively.
Powerful formatting
-
Zulip code blocks come with syntax highlighting for over 250 languages, and integrated code playgrounds.
-
Type LaTeX directly into your Zulip message, and see it beautifully rendered.
-
Enjoy inline image, video and website previews.
-
If you made a mistake, no worries! You can edit your message, or move it to a different topic or channel.
It’s so refreshing to see and use @zulip Another level of product design. Which really delights. A singular experience, unfortunately, in years.
Congrats and keep up the good work!
Interactive messaging
-
Start a video call with the click of a button, or make plans for later without worrying about time zones using global times.
-
Use emoji reactions for lightweight interactions. Have fun with custom emoji and gather feedback with polls.
- Share files or images with drag-and-drop uploads.
- Enjoy animated GIFs with Zulip's native GIPHY integration.
