Zulip User Documentation
Zulip is a group chat app. Its most distinctive characteristic is that conversation within an organization can be divided into “streams” and further subdivided into “topics”, so that much finer-grained conversations are possible than with IRC or other chat tools.
Most people use Zulip on the Web. There are also mobile apps for Android/iOS, and desktop apps for Mac/Linux/Windows, as well as a cross-platform version and a version for Platform 9. See the documentation on apps for more information.
One Zulip account, associated with a particular group or organization, is known as an organization.
