Everybody wants to be Slack it seems.
Yesterday, Google launched their Slack competitor,
Hangouts Chat, seamlessly integrated into G Suite. Unlike other players in the space, Googleโs focused on levering AI to improve team communication and productivity. Of course it also supports the essentials like GIFs (which may ruin your teamโs productivity).
This release follows Facebookโs introduction of
Workspaces, a social network for you and your coworkers, and Atlasssianโs
Stride.
