Features

Messaging. Helpdesk. AI. One platform.

Built from the ground up to unify team communication and customer support.

Real-time Messaging

Every conversation, perfectly organised

Channels keep topics focused. Threads keep replies tidy. DMs keep things private. And everything — every message, every file — is delivered in real time over a low-latency WebSocket connection.

  • Channels & group DMs — Organise by topic, project, or team — public or private channels, plus 1:1 and group direct messages.
  • Threaded replies — Reply in a thread to keep the main channel clean. See reply counts at a glance.
  • @mentions & notifications — Mention teammates or whole channels. Smart notification rules so you only get pinged when it matters.
  • Rich markdown & emoji — Bold, italics, code blocks, lists, and custom emoji. Click-to-react with any message.
  • Link previews & file sharing — URLs unfurl automatically. Drag and drop files (up to 100 MB, depending on plan) with inline image and PDF preview.
AI Assistant · Available on Pro & Business

Your team's AI co-pilot, built right in

No third-party plugins, no context switching. Disqua's AI understands your workspace conversations and helps your team move faster every day.

  • Thread summaries — Missed a 40-message thread? Click "Summarise" and get a crisp bullet-point briefing in seconds.
  • Smart reply suggestions — Contextual reply suggestions based on the conversation. Accept, edit, or ignore — you're always in control.
  • Semantic search — Search your workspace by meaning, not just keywords. Find "the document about Q3 launch" even if those words never appeared.
  • Available on Pro & Business — 100 AI requests/month on Pro, 1000 on Business, unlimited on Enterprise. No separate subscription needed.

Integrations & API

Connect everything your team already uses

A developer platform: REST API, outgoing and incoming webhooks, custom slash commands — and a native bot SDK on the roadmap. Connect GitHub, Jira, Linear or Zapier — or build your own.

  • REST API — OpenAPI 3.0 spec at api.disqua.com/api-docs. Read and write messages, channels, members and files programmatically.
  • Incoming & outgoing webhooks — Post into any channel from any external service, get notified on events, build your own bots.
