The world, as we know it today, is changing faster than we could have ever imagined. The Corona virus Pandemic has brought chaos to lives and economies around the globe. In an attempt to contain the virus, half of the population around the world is under lock-down, practicing social distancing and what not. Offices across the globe are shut down, and employees are left with no option other than working from home. While most of the tasks done in offices can be done remotely at homes with the kind of technology, we have at our disposal, yet we all used to go offices every day. Then what was the point of going to the office every day if we could've done everything from our homes remotely in the first place? The whole point of going into an office and work among your colleagues was collaboration. Being in close proximity with your colleagues and teammates teams are the democratic—and the efficient—way to get things done. When you have a team, the possibility exists that it will generate magic, producing something extraordinary, a collective creation of previously unimagined quality or beauty. Collaboration in itself is a very broad term which includes working together in various setups.

In today's technologically advanced age of the internet, collaboration means an online communication setup that allows people working on the same project work together even if they are not at the same location. One of the most important ways to help teams succeed while working remotely is to get them the right tools to help them stay connected and productive. Equipping teams with these new technologies allow managers and employees all remain on the same page no matter where they are working from, whether it's from home or waiting in a long line at the grocery store. These new apps might also help keep your team more productive and connected after COVID-19 fears lessen, and people go back to work. Working in teams have always been a deep pain. While you're working in groups or teams you have to make sure that everyone is on the same page, everyone has access to all the resources that are needed to accomplish the said task/goal, everyone needs to be up to date with the context of everything going around. Traditionally all of this is done in team meetings, but let's face it, team meetings are somewhat productive, but mostly they're a waste of time. There has to be something, a platform kind of thing where everyone can see what's going on without having to call a meeting, and everyone knows context around everything, every piece of information, resources are at one place, organized at everyone's disposal, where nothing gets lost. Wouldn't it be a game-changer?

What if I say there exists a platform which by far the most advanced collaboration platform ever built? What if I say there's an online documentation software which is also a knowledge and collaboration tool? Fortunately, there is. It is called Bit.ai

Bit.ai is a next-generation document management and collaboration platform. It is designed to meet a broad array of use cases, making it ideal for different kinds of teams, regardless of their size, in multifarious industries. Bit is a modern and technological advanced yet simple tool that you and everyone in your team can customize. It has a workflow configuration tool as well that enables you to tailor the solution's work process to suit your team.

Bit is all about control

Bit is designed in a way to suit your needs. With Bit, you have control over how you want to manage your documents. You can systematize your work according to projects, team members, clients, and more to ensure smooth workflows. Additionally, the solution enables your team members to edit workspaces with documents, notes, links, and other resources without the need for complex permission controls. This way, everyone can easily share knowledge.

Bit's workspaces are a smart way to keep all of your knowledge and work in one space for your team to access. You can create workspaces for personal use, teams, departments, clients or the entire company. You can also create workspaces around departments, company wiki, specific projects, cross-functional teams, employee resources, large projects, and more.

Everything is at your fingertips

I'm sure you must have had an instance where you wanted a doc urgently, but you kept on searching it on google docs or your local system, but you couldn't find it. Unfortunately, in the search process, your files got so messed up that not only you couldn't find the document that you were looking for, you lost some other docs as well. I hate it when this happens. Thanks to Bit nothing is ever lost. Bit ensures that content and communication doesn't get lost in email & chat.

Bit's smart search makes it fast and easy to find what you're looking for. You can search across workspaces, folders, documents, the text inside documents, and any digital content that has been added. Bit also has a content library where all sorts of digital assets like image, PDFs, links, embeds, cloud files, in your workspaces are saved for easy access.

Bit understand how important context is

Don't you hate it when one of your teammates put an excel file on the Doc without briefing anyone about it and have everyone call them one by one? Or when you have to pick up your phone and call your teammates every single time you want to tell them something about the stuff, they put on the Doc. It's just frustrating. All of this hamper's productivity and efficiency of individuals.

Thanks to Bit, you can work with your team in real-time co-editing. You have the feature of making inline comments to bring everyone on the same place to discuss work and arrive at decisions. Bit helps keep all of your work in one central location so you can communicate around any of your daily projects, content, research, notes, meeting minutes and more. Bit is where work happens. You can also put context around everything that you're putting in your Doc whether it's an excel, an image, a GIF or anything else that you could imagine.

Integration at its best

While working on a project, we mostly end up opening multiple tabs to make sense of all the work we've done across various applications in just one Doc. We back and forth open our content in different - different apps and then switch back to the Doc to put them there in use. It is not only time consuming, but it also decreases the quality. Luckily Bit is here to rescue, with Bit you can bring all of your content across 100+ popular applications and any digital content into your living documents. Bit helps in working with your team to weave content together to visually and contextually discuss work. Reduce the number of tabs that need to be opened and bouncing around applications. Bit is where Collaboration Happens Working in teams always comes with a great deal of pain. It's frustrating when you open the Doc after some time, and it's bombarded with content you're unaware of or when you have to pick up and call your teammates for every single thing. With Bit, you can see recent changes made to any of the Doc in the dashboard itself to help you get on the same page. You can highlight specific text on the Doc to @mention, ask questions, and drive collaboration.

With features like document tracking, you can invite team members, partners, and clients for real-time collaboration. Create smart interactive documents together. When it comes to share-ability Bit does not forces itself on to others to use it so that they can view the Doc. Doc can simply be shared with the outside world in three big ways:

  • Live Document Sharing
  • Embed Document on Any Website
  • Create Trackable Link for Document

With Bit, your documents will never look and feel the same again. Bit's collaborative documents can flow from text to video, to inserted spreadsheets and more. There is no limit on how you can stack elements together. With Bit, Collaboration and writing goes hand in hand and become much more interesting and engaging. Bit has so many features and use cases that I can go on and on about it, but none of that matters because Bit is simply unbelievable. Too Good to be True kind of deal. You have to see for yourself what Bit feels like then only you'll be able to believe me.
