Flock, a team messenger for businesses, on 20th Dec 2016 launched world's first chat operating system "FlockOS" which allows developers to build customised apps, bots and integrations on Flock.
Developers can either use the customised apps within their organisations or publish it on Flock's App Store, making them available for all Flock users.
The User Interface (UI) is a canvas for developers, allowing them to create truly intuitive apps and integrations which seamlessly blend with the core product
Bhavin Turakhia is currently the CEO, Flock.
Chat will soon become the next operating system, probably within the next three to five years.
With "FlockOS", developers can build apps that provide a tightly integrated experience by using widgets. These include the attachment widget, sidebar widget and modal widget.
"FlockOS" provides setup slash commands, providing an additional option for users to interact with the app and can configure a Bot to send directed messages to users, initiating conversations and completing tasks from within Flock.
