- Why does it Matter?
Team Collaboration
- Private conversations inside the same chat group/channel
- Yes
- No
- In Slack, everyone in a channel sees every message, Slack does not support private chats inside a channel.
In Arkchat, selected members can chat privately inside the same group, so sensitive conversations stay in context without creating separate DMs or channels.
- Diverse teams collaborate in one group
- Yes
- No
- Slack can’t hide messages from specific people inside a channel, so internal teams, vendors, and customers can’t safely share the same space. Arkchat lets everyone work in one group without exposing internal conversations, making collaboration seamless.
- Organise threads using custom topics
- Yes
- No
- Slack keeps all threads inside one channel with no topic structure. Arkchat lets you group threads under custom topics (like Design, Purchase, Client Queries), so everything stays organised and easy to find.
- Multilingual collaboration
- Yes
- No
- Slack keeps you manually translating or relying on apps. Arkchat translates messages instantly, so everyone understands each other and work moves without confusion.
- Zero communication gaps
- Yes
- No
- Slack spreads conversations across many channels and DMs. Arkchat keeps the right people, topics, threads, and private chats in one space, so nothing gets missed.
Project and Work Management
- Turn any message into a task
- Yes
- Partially
- Slack needs extra steps, you either create tasks manually or rely on paid apps like Asana. Arkchat converts messages into tasks instantly, with no integrations and no double subscriptions.

- Yes
- No
- Slack requires building custom workflows to route approvals through multiple seniors. Arkchat turns any message into a multilevel approval instantly, with no setup or automation work.
- Attach files directly to tasks & approvals
- Yes
- No
- Slack lets you share files in channels or threads, but they don’t stay linked to a task or approval unless you use third-party tools. Arkchat keeps every file attached to the exact task or approval it belongs to, so you never lose context.
- AI helps you manage work while you chat
- Yes
- No
- Slack’s AI helps you search and summarise, but it doesn’t suggest subtasks or turn AI responses into trackable tasks or approvals. Arkchat’s AI does this instantly while you chat, reducing effort.
- Discussions, tasks & approvals stay in one thread
- Yes
- No
- Slack separates chat, tasks, and approvals across channels, threads, and workflow forms. Arkchat keeps the entire task story, conversations, files, updates, and approvals, together in one clean thread
