# Everything your team uses Slack for

XenRooms has what teams use a chat for every day – channels, threads, direct messages, files, search and calls – plus chat with other companies over Matrix and an AI that tells you what you missed. Every company gets a chat server of its own, in Germany or on its own servers.
