Element (previously Riot) enables teams to interact via a variety of collaborative apps. If some team members use the program while others use IRC, Slack, or Gitter, the app enables them to collaborate effortlessly. The tool offers the most extensive network of communication bridges. Only you should have control over your communication and data. The program allows you to host your own server while also providing users and teams with the most advanced crypto ratchet technology available today for a decentralized safe Internet. 

  • Own and control your data.
  • Decentralized end-to-end encryption 
  • Cross-signed verification 
  • Open network. 
  • Messaging, Voice, and Video

Element for PC is totally open source, with all code available on GitHub (Apache License) for anybody to see and extend. This implies that teams can alter or contribute to the code, and everyone benefits from the rapid pace of community innovation. Riot was created on top of the Matrix. Matrix is an open network for safe, decentralized communication that includes a community of users, bridged networks, integrated bots and applications, and full end-to-end encryption. There are no limitations on features, group size, or usage in public rooms!

We are all aware of the communication issues that can arise in even the smallest firms. With the app, everyone can easily get on the same page without having to give up their current tools! 

Ad Hoc Teams 
Need to rapidly get a diverse group of individuals on the same page? It might be a collaboration between teams, businesses, families, and clubs... The app's guest access and interoperability allow them to plug in their preferred tools and get up and running quickly.
