Microsoft Garage’s Kaizala productivity-focused chat app comes to Windows 10 UWP

After a long delay the Microsoft Garage team has brought their Kaizala chat app to Windows 10 phones and PCs.

The productivity-focussed app helps you get your work done by tracking bills, jobs, location and more. Kaizala tries to bring all your communication – within your team, with partners and customers – to one place. You can track your resources (people, time, and money) – as simple as sending an 'action' in your chat, organize your team as you want – in one chat or start a new chat for each project/team and get work done by extracting value from your conversations.

The Kaizala Actions available out of the box with Kaizala Preview are:

  • Announcement – Make key announcements or share updates
  • Job – Assign jobs to people and track completion status
  • Let's Meet – Invite people to meetings and confirm their availability status
  • Photo with Location – Share a picture with your current location
  • Quick Poll – Ask a question and get people's opinion
  • Request Location – Request people to share their location
  • Share Location – Share your location with others
  • Survey – Ask a series of questions and get people's opinions

Optimised for low-bandwidth environments the app only needs a 2G connection.

Andhra Pradesh government officials used this Kaizala app for group communication during the ongoing Krishna Pushkarams. The district administration created 91 groups that keep in touch to take stock of the situation at the ghats and other logistics required to cater to the needs of such a mammoth crowd.

It was previously introduced on Android in February 2016, and came to iOS in July 2016.
