I'm no fan of slack but I don't see this as being competitive. Google hangouts (which I use for sms, among other things) has a very poor search feature. Slack on the other hand has decent search capabilities. Plus, slack-bots are well integrated already. It does not avoid my largest criticism of slack: the inability to save conversation history locally. This sounds like a late to market slack-clone. What is innovative about this offering?

  What search function? Do you mean going to gmail.com and searching "in:chat blah"? Even that is terrible.

    To make the UX even more annoying, chats are grouped under a special label that's invisible to the gmail app on Android.

Hangouts Chat does indeed have powerful search functionality built-in, as shown in the demo. Screenshot from TC: https://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/664cd61d-2671-4f4a-be3a-0033d1def68e.png https://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/664cd61...
