Times have changed. The way we work hasn’t—and it’s about time it did.

When Slack launched in 2014, it sparked a revolution. Distributed teams collaborated faster, conversations flourished, and at least the perception of productivity skyrocketed.

But a decade later, we all know we pay a hefty price for the communication style that Slack and similar platforms introduced.

Despite advancements in work management, chat apps remain isolated, disconnected from the tools we use to collaborate, manage, and create. Even though Microsoft Teams has “tabs,” the tabs themselves might as well be separate—they’re only superficially stitched together.

We’re constantly overwhelmed with noise—switching between windows, dodging distractions, and trying to stay organized amid endless pings. It’s impossible to focus and unrealistic to keep everything in order when we’re forced to toggle between apps, chatting in one place and managing work in another.

At PointerUp, we’ve always believed the solution was simple: our conversations and work should live in the same platform. This creates unparalleled productivity, clarity, and focus.

That’s why we’re beyond excited to introduce PointerUp Chat.

PointerUp Chat allows you to have work-related conversations directly alongside your tasks, projects, and resources, natively integrated into your workflow.

We didn’t just create another chat app—we completely redefined how teams collaborate, crafting a cutting-edge communication tool designed to define work for the next decade.

Chat combines everything you love about chat with fundamentally new functionality to help you work smarter and faster. Chat in ClickUp also harnesses the power of ClickUp’s Brain™ AI to clean up Chats, find action items, create tasks, and even automatically answer questions before anyone on your team has to answer them manually. It’s remarkably revolutionary.

Work from Chat

Now, you can do your work right when (and where) you’re discussing it. We’ve totally converged chat with project management, to provide unparalleled productivity.

• Projects in Chat: Our Chats aren’t just for conversation—they also have Lists, Projects, Tasks, Docs, Forms, Whiteboards, and more.
• FollowUps™: Conversations commonly get flooded with noise, and important messages get lost. Triage messages and ensure action items never get lost with FollowUps.
• Convert messages into tasks (with AI): Turn any conversation into a task. You can do this yourself, or let AI capture the context from the thread and package it perfectly for execution.
• SyncUps: Communicate through live video and audio calls, right inside your Workspace. You can share your screen, link to tasks inside the SyncUps chat, assign comments on the call, and more. Plus, AI can automatically post a summary and create action items from the call.
