As it gains its popularity, Telecom Talk had a conversation with Bhavin Turakhia, CEO, Flock. He is a serial entrepreneur and is the Co-founder of Directi, under which Flock is a business unit. With his 18 years of unparalleled technology expertise, Turakhia talks about FlockOS and his vision for the industry.

Q: How does this FlockOS work?

Ans: FlockOS is the World’s First Chat Operating System. It is the ultra-powerful platform which enables developers to build apps, bots, and integrations on top of Flock, the Team Messenger. While Flock provides team messaging backbone, FlockOS transforms it into an ecosystem of workplace apps with Flock at the center. These apps built using FlockOS can help users complete frequent tasks like setting to-dos, scheduling meetings, conducting opinion polls, reviewing performance dashboards and much more – all from within Flock.

Q: World’s first chatOS platform, how different it is from any other platform?

Ans: FlockOS is indeed unique, as it provides a first-of-its-kind widgets feature that allows users to have a seamless experience with any Flock app – an experience matching that of any fully interactive website.

Flock also moves beyond just slash commands, providing users other easier and faster options to interact with an app whenever relevant. The meticulously designed app-specific buttons embedded in the interface ensure higher app discoverability, and in turn, boost app usage.
