How Chat & Bubbles works

Chat combines IRC-style project and workspace channels, private channels and sub-channels, direct messages, threaded rich text with attachments and reactions, a Forum of resolvable topics with polls, and Bubbles for live audio, video, and screen sharing. Mention @Spec and the assistant answers from the published revision in the thread.

  1. Open the project channel or create public and private channels, one-to-one or group DMs, and sub-channels. Every task list gets its own sub-channel, visible only to the list's audience.
  2. Write with the shared rich editor: channel-scoped @mentions of people, glossary terms, documents, roles, and flows, up to ten files per message, Unicode reactions, replies, Copy link, and Explain with Spec on any message.
  3. Switch to Forum for topics with Open, Resolved, and Top rankings, upvotes, and polls, or start a Bubble to talk, share a camera, or share a screen without leaving the workspace.
A practical example

A distributed team wants one place for the quick question, the decision thread that must not get lost, and the ten-minute call, with the product's own vocabulary one @ away.

What you get

Conversation that stays attached to the work

  • Revision lifecycle updates posted by Spec, with Read the specification and See what changed links on every publish
  • Message search with phrase, conversation, date, and files-only filters, and deep links that load a window around the exact message
  • Inbox entries for mentions and unread root messages, and unread badges that count only what still needs a look
Using Chat & Bubbles

Chat is a core feature for every joined member, not an optional tool. Spec answers only in project channels and never where protected content would leak into a shared room, Bubbles are not recorded, and the service runs on self-hosted media infrastructure configured per deployment.
