Google built ten different chat products, how did that go?
- XorNot 8mo agoDoes it matter? Microsoft won by default with Teams because it actually turns out no one cares about chat or even has a choice in it: employees use whatever the company picks.
- pragmatic 8mo agoIt's bundled with office and no serious business can live without excel.
- thevillagechief 8mo agoThe world, other than the US, runs on WhatsApp. Business, support and payments are done there. So people do care.
- deaux 8mo agoIf you're going to say "other than the US" then you've got to say at a minimum "other than the US and China", but really "other than the US and China and Japan and Korea and Taiwan and Thailand and Russia and most of Central Asia". Only mentioning the US is wildly americentric even by HN standards.
- mvdtnz 8mo agoGosh doesn't that sound familiar.
- deaux 8mo agoNo one uses Teams for personal use. LLMs are used daily for personal use by hundreds of millions of people at this point.
