TALK

Real-time chat,
anchored to knowledge.

Channels, DMs, threads, inbox — all sitting next to the files they're about. Mention a doc, drop into context. Search threads, get cited answers.

Looking at @architecture.md — should we split the sync engine into its own crate?

Yes — see thread on DEC-042. We agreed last sprint.

01 · CHANNELS, DMS, THREADS

Three surfaces.
One conversation graph.

Public channels for the team, DMs for two, threads for the deep dives.

CHANNELS

Open by default

Topic-based rooms anyone on the team can read. Discoverable, archivable, mentionable.

DMS

One-on-one and groups

Direct messages for two — or pull in a small group when you need a private back-channel.

THREADS

Replies that stay focused

Spin up a thread on any message. The main channel stays scannable; the thread keeps the context.

02 · CONTEXT

Chat that knows
your mind.

Mention any file, decision or passage with @ — the link sticks, opens in-place, and travels with the message. AI search reads across every thread and cites the exact reply it pulled the answer from.

VS GENERIC CHAT

Slack tells you what was said. Talk tells you why.

Why a chat that lives next to your knowledge beats one that doesn't.

TODAY · SLACK-LIKE

Conversations forgotten in scroll

Decisions buried in a thread no one bookmarks
Files live in a different tool than the chat about them
Search returns messages — never the file they reference
AI summaries hallucinate because there's no source of truth
WITH SYNAP · TALK

Talk with persistent context

Every mention is a real link to a real file
Chat sits next to the docs it's about
Search every thread and every cited file at once
AI cites the exact reply or document it answered from
03 · INBOX & SEARCH

Catch up.
Find anything.

One inbox for every mention and DM. Search reads across messages, threads and files.

01 · INBOX

Triage in
one place.

Mentions, DMs, thread replies and follow-ups roll into a single inbox. Mark read, snooze for later, or jump to the source thread in one click.

02 · SEARCH

Search every word

Across channels, DMs, threads, and the files mentioned in them — with cited results.

03 · SIGNALS

Reactions, threading, reads

Lightweight signals that tell you who saw it, who's on it, and what reaction it got.

Talk that
holds context.

Free. macOS, Windows, Linux. Bring your own Claude — your conversations stay yours.
