Rutba Chat
Early accessTeam chat & business messaging
Talk about the work, next to the work
Team chat tools keep every decision in a channel that nobody can find six months later. Rutba Chat keeps the general conversation in channels and the specific one on the record it concerns, so the reason you discounted that order is on the order, not in a scroll-back.
In early access. Chat, Meet and Calls share one front end, so buying any of them puts the same app in front of your team with the surfaces you are licensed for. Email when you are mentioned is built and is not switched on in production yet.
Who it's for
- Teams coordinating day to day
- Businesses tired of decisions lost in chat history
- Anyone wanting conversation attached to real records
What you get
- Channels, direct messages, and threaded replies
- Discussions attached to orders, tickets, and customers, with deep links both ways
- Searchable history, read state, presence, and mentions with directory autocomplete
- Edit and delete with revision history, so a withdrawn message says so on the record
- Retention policy and compliance export per organization
- Membership driven by your organization roles
- Long conversations that load older messages as you scroll
- Reactions, files stored in Drive, email when you are mentioned, and incoming webhooks

Rutba Office Talk, for messaging a colleague
Talk, the messaging and calling app in Rutba Office, is taking over from Chat for messaging a colleague. Rutba Office is free for Windows. In Talk a call goes straight between the two computers where it can, and messages pass through a small Rutba service, which holds each one until the other person’s app has it. Talk has no channels and no conversations kept on records, so those stay with Chat, which a plan still opens in the browser.
