sounds interesting.. but doesn't Flowdock do that too? We're using it with our team and it integrates seamlessly with GitHub and much more.

Hi Menlo,

Flowdock lacks the same thing every other service currently does: They just create more noise with external service connections, instead of eliminating the biggest time killer of any fluent communication: The lookup factor.

This is basically the time you spend every week looking through your GitHub issues, Calendar entries, File Storages while coordinating with your team members.

By indexing your services and making them available to you inside an autocomplete we are attacking that problem and effectively making your communication faster, the more services you connect.

How is that any different to Slack or HipChat…

Hi originell,

Felix from ChatGrape here - thx for the question.

Our chat sets itself apart by deeply integrating your services like GitHub (already available), Google Calendar, Drive/Dropbox (both next week), and many more, referencing them right as you type.

This makes your communication a lot more efficient and eliminates misunderstandings, cutting the time you need to coordinate in half.

Hope that helps :)
