Tom, Agency DirectorTom's agency paid $500/month for Slack. Project discussions were disconnected from Asana tasks. Finding past decisions meant scrolling through months of messages.
Asrify's built-in chat lives alongside projects. Each client project has a channel. Discussions link to tasks. Important decisions move to the Hub.
The agency eliminated a $6,000 annual Slack bill. Context isn't lost between tools. New team members find project history in one place.

Communication Design for Teams
The channel structure of a team chat system reveals organizational priorities. Teams that only have channels by department silo information by org chart. Teams that add project channels create cross-functional visibility. Teams that add topic channels (announcements, random, help) create shared culture. The channel structure isn't just organizational—it shapes how information flows and who knows what.
Threading is the most underused feature in team chat. When conversations happen in the main channel without threads, important discussions get buried by casual messages. Threading creates mini-conversations that can evolve over hours or days without polluting the main flow. Teams that adopt threading norms find their channels become navigable rather than overwhelming.
The expectation of instant response in chat creates a culture of interruption that fragments focus work. High-performing teams establish norms around response time—for example, DMs get responses within an hour, channel messages within four hours, unless urgency is indicated. This allows people to batch their chat time rather than living in constant reactive mode.
