Collaboration overview
Collaboration is the Collab.codes dimension that keeps people, tasks, messages, mini apps, and AI agents close to the application workflow.
Business software is not used by isolated users inside perfect screens. It is used by teams that discuss, approve, delegate, support, and resolve exceptions.
Why collaboration belongs in the workflow
When work leaves the application, context is lost.
A task becomes detached from the screen that created it. A message loses the record it was about. An AI agent receives less context than it needs. Support depends on screenshots and memory.
Collaboration should stay connected to:
- the screen;
- the record;
- the user role;
- the workflow;
- the permission model;
- the audit trail.
What this includes
Collaboration includes:
- Collab Messages;
- contextual comments;
- tasks and workflows;
- mini apps;
- AI agents;
- support and human intervention;
- external automation where useful.
Relationship with Runtime and Creation
Runtime gives collaboration the application context.
Creation uses collaboration to capture suggestions and turn them into changes.
Together, they allow software to be improved closer to where work happens.
