Team Communication Tools at Work: 3 Channels Inside Fareeqy
An Arabic-first alternative to WhatsApp, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. How Fareeqy organizes team communication across 3 channels — in one place.
Team communication without app chaos
No more chaos and scattered work.. no more jumping between chat apps and email — whether WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or any of them.
Fareeqy is the place that brings together everything related to your work.. especially everything to do with communication and collaboration.
The name "Fareeqy" (فريقي — "my team") comes from the idea of the team itself: a team wins together through effective communication and collaboration between its members. That's why communication was one of the foundations Fareeqy was built on.
3 channels for team communication in Fareeqy
Each channel has its own role, and each one is designed to reflect a different kind of conversation that actually happens inside your team.
1. Conversations — for fast talk
Conversations in Fareeqy is the channel for everyday talk between team members. Three forms:
- One-on-one chat between you and a teammate.
- Group chat for quick coordination between several members.
- A project channel for every project, auto-created with it and following its members.. people enter and exit without any manual step.
Right for a question that needs an answer within the hour, and for lightweight coordination. Arabic search that understands word roots and forms, voice messages up to 5 minutes indexed in search, and @mentions that send an instant notification.. without sending duplicates to people already reading the conversation.
2. Majlis — for decisions and announcements
Majlis is a calm discussion board inside every project. A place for the decisions that deserve to be documented, the announcements every member needs to see, and the ideas that need the team's thinking before they become tasks.
Every topic gets one of the built-in categories: announcement, question, idea, update, or general discussion. Important topics get pinned to the top. A new engineer joins a six-month-old project? They open the Majlis and understand its full history.. with no long onboarding meeting.
3. Comments — for talk in its context
Comments in Fareeqy is the channel for talk tied to one specific thing. A comment on a task, on a file, or on a task list.
The rule is simple: talk stays with the thing it's about. A note on a design stays with the task. A review on an invoice stays with the file. When your team comes back a month later, the context is still there.. organized, in place.
