Chat
Kibi Connect Chat is the GDPR-compliant alternative to WhatsApp inside the company — hosted in Germany, with clear permissions and full data sovereignty.
Chat enables direct coordination inside the same platform where work already happens.
Messages, files, photos and tasks stay in context instead of being scattered across private messengers.

Can I turn chat messages directly into actions?

How do multilingual teams communicate in chat?
Chat automatically translates messages into the language of each recipient — no additional tools, no copy-paste into external translators.
- Messages are translated in real time into the selected language
- Original text is available with one tap
- Automatic translation can be disabled per person or language
- A translation notice transparently shows the source and target language
- Ideal for international teams, seasonal workers and staff with migration background
From the founder
WhatsApp is everywhere at work — but for a company it is always a risk. We wanted a platform where employees get the same speed, while the organisation keeps full data sovereignty.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about Chat
Which WhatsApp alternative is suitable for businesses?
Kibi Connect Chat is a GDPR-compliant platform for internal communication, hosted in Germany. Employees get 1:1 and group chats, read receipts and file sharing — all in one app the company controls. Unlike WhatsApp there are clear permissions, no private mixing and no data in third countries.
How does Kibi Connect Chat replace WhatsApp at work?
Employees use Kibi Connect for all work-related messages — 1:1 chats, team chats, shift coordination, photos from the construction site or instructions from shift management. Private messages stay in WhatsApp. That creates a clean separation between private and professional.
Can external people such as customers or partners take part in chats?
Yes. External participants can be invited to specific chats, groups or projects with clearly defined access rights. They only see content that has been released for their collaboration. All data stays in the GDPR-compliant platform.
Does the chat work without stable internet?
Yes. Messages can be read offline and sync as soon as connectivity returns. That makes Kibi Connect Chat especially useful for construction sites, manufacturing or field work where network coverage is not always reliable.
What data protection benefits does Kibi Connect Chat have over WhatsApp?
Hosted in Germany (Hetzner Cloud), GDPR-compliant, DPA template available. No phone number harvesting, no advertising profiles, no data transfer to the US. Sensitive content from HR, manufacturing or sales stays compliant inside the company.
