You can start by reading about how [Zulip’s](/hello/) unique
|
||
topic-based threading [combines the best of email and
|
||
chat](/why-zulip/) to make [remote work](https://zulip.com/for/business/) productive
|
||
and delightful.
|
||
|
||
It's also easy to try out Zulip for yourself.
|
||

|
||
|
||
1. **Check out the Zulip app**. You can:
|
||
|
||
- [View the Zulip development community](https://zulip.com/try-zulip/),
|
||
where hundreds of participants collaborate to improve Zulip. Many parts of
|
||
the community are open for [public access](/help/public-access-option), so
|
||
you can start exploring without creating an account.
|
||
|
||
- [See how Zulip is being used](https://zulip.com/communities/) in open
|
||
organizations that have opted in to be listed in the [Zulip communities
|
||
directory](/help/communities-directory).
|
||
|
||
1. [Create a Zulip Cloud organization](https://zulip.com/new/) for free in just
|
||
a few minutes. This is a great way to explore Zulip even if you plan to
|
||
[self-host](https://zulip.com/self-hosting/).
|
||
|
||
1. [Invite your teammates](/help/invite-users-to-join) to explore Zulip with you.
|
||
They will have a variety of perspectives on what's important in a chat app.
|
||
|
||
1. **Run a week-long Zulip trial** with your team, without using any other chat tools. This
|
||
is the only way to truly experience how a new chat app will help your team
|
||
communicate. You can:
|
||
|
||
- Customize [organization settings](/help/customize-organization-settings)
|
||
and [settings for new users](/help/customize-settings-for-new-users), but
|
||
plan to adjust the details as you go.
|
||
|
||
- [Create](/help/create-channels) your initial
|
||
[channels](/help/introduction-to-channels), including a dedicated channel for
|
||
questions and feedback about using Zulip.
|
||
|
||
- Educate others about how to use Zulip's [topics](/help/introduction-to-topics),
|
||
and how to [move](/help/move-content-to-another-topic) any messages that
|
||
belong elsewhere.
|
||
|
||
- [Set up integrations](/help/set-up-integrations) so that your team can
|
||
experience all their regular workflows inside the Zulip app.
