Your Team’s Central Communication Hub

Space Chat is the second level in Luklak’s communication architecture. It is a dedicated, persistent chat channel built into every single ⏹️ Space on the platform. This feature acts as your team’s central hub for all communication related to the specific purpose of that Space—whether it’s for a project, a department, or a business function like “Sales CRM”.

Level 2: Space Chat

This is your team’s shared channel for a specific project or function, replacing the need for an external group chat like Slack or Microsoft Teams.

​
The Best of Both Worlds: Chat & Work Together

Many teams use a dedicated Slack channel for each project. This organizes conversations, but it creates a fundamental disconnect: the conversation lives in one app, while the actual work (the 🧊 Objects, data, and workflows) lives in another. A ⏹️ Space in Luklak solves this by unifying both worlds. It is simultaneously:
  1. An operational workspace where tasks are managed.
  2. The team’s chat room for discussing that work.
This integrated approach provides several key advantages:
  • Reduced Context Switching: Your team can discuss project strategy and update the status of 🧊 Objects in the same window, without ever leaving the Space.
  • A Single Source of Truth: All team-level discussions are stored alongside the work itself, creating a complete, unified history for the project.
  • Automatic Membership: Anyone who is a member of the ⏹️ Space is automatically a member of the Space Chat. There’s no need to manage two separate lists of people.

Common Use Cases for Space Chat

Space Chat is ideal for team-level communication that isn’t about one single task.
  • Project Announcements: Post a welcome message for new team members or announce a major milestone.
  • General Questions & Blockers: Ask questions relevant to the whole team, like “Has anyone worked with the new client API before?”
  • Sharing Team-wide Resources: Post links to shared documents, design mockups, or important external resources.
When should you use Object Chat instead? For conversations about a specific task, deal, or bug, it’s always better to use Level 3: Object Chat. This keeps the most specific context directly on the work item itself, making it easy to find later.
