Zulip User Documentation
Zulip is a group chat app. Its most distinctive characteristic is that conversation within an organization is 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, which can be downloaded here.
One Zulip account, associated with a particular company, project, or team, is known as an organization.
