VNCchannels
The team room and the knowledge hub in one: real-time discussion, structured topics and AI-assisted search.
Team room and knowledge hub in one
VNCchannels is one place that is both a real-time team room and a structured, versioned, searchable knowledge hub. Talk in the built-in chat, then turn the conversation into structured topics that stay findable: headings, tables, task lists, callouts, footnotes and smart links, with version history, threaded comments and AI-assisted search across everything.
- ✓Hierarchical channels with nested sub-channels
- ✓Channel types: public, private, intranet, extranet
- ✓Structured content: callouts, tables, task lists, footnotes, keywords
- ✓Smart links with backlinks and related content
- ✓Version history with restore
- ✓AI-assisted search across all content
Built-in chat & presence
Direct messages and per-channel conversations are built into VNCchannels, with live presence and status (available, away, busy, do-not-disturb, out-of-office) and unread indicators.
Structured content & templates
Rich structured topics: headings, lists and task lists, tables, code blocks, callout panels (info, note, warning, success), footnotes, sticky notes and keywords. Start from a template such as Meeting notes, Decision, How-to or PRD, or from a blank topic.
AI-assisted search
Full-text search plus AI-assisted semantic search across channels, topics, comments and attachments, so you find content by meaning, not only by exact words.
File preview
Preview many document, image and video formats directly in the browser, without downloading.
Version history
Every topic keeps its version history, with restore to any earlier version.
Comments & reactions
Threaded comments and likes on any topic, with @mentions that pull people in.
Announcements & acknowledgements
Publish announcements with acknowledgement and read receipts, and see who has not acknowledged yet.
Polls
Run named or anonymous polls with a single choice and an optional close date, and close a poll when you are done.
Linked knowledge with backlinks
Link inline to other topics, channels and people, and see backlinks and related items, so knowledge connects instead of piling up in folders.
AI-assisted semantic search
Search by meaning across channels, topics, comments and attachments, beyond exact keywords.
