By adding notes, tasks and real-time collaboration capabilities in this latest update, the company has built a productivity layer on top of its revolutionary conversational email app to reduce the number of apps used for work. Seamless integration of these tools in the Spike platform allow for real-time collaboration and will instantly sync across all devices. Users have easy access to viewing task status and updates to shared notes and documents, as all changes send automatic notifications to the top of the inbox feed. With built-in chat functionality, Spike users can have a conversation while creating and editing in real-time, while never leaving their email inbox.
“Now, more than ever, teams and individuals need to be connected and aligned as we continue working from home in the largest numbers ever seen. Spike is positioned to lead the entire modern workspace and reinvent how we work by combining email with essential services to get the job done without spending time switching between platforms,” said Dvir Ben-Aroya, Spike co-founder and CEO. “Up until now, Spike has primarily been rethinking how email should work by turning legacy email into chat-like conversations. Today, in our latest update, Spike adds tasks, notes and real-time collaboration into the world’s most powerful email inbox to set the stage for how we will get work done in the future – together, in one feed, in real-time.”
