About Zanbase

We’re building the workspace we always wanted to work in.

Why Zanbase exists, what we believe, and how we decide what to build.

Mission

People, their work and their AI, together

Zan pushing Base, and Base pushing a box: teamwork

Give every team one place to communicate, organize knowledge, run projects and work with AI, so nothing important is lost between tools.

We are building one workspace where every piece of work connects to every other, with a shared data model and one interface.

Why we started

Work got scattered. We wanted it in one place.

Every team we worked with had the same week: a chat app for talking, a doc tool for writing, a tracker for tasks, a video app for meetings and a drive for files. Each tool solved one problem and quietly added another: one more place to look.

“The work was never the hard part. Finding it was.”

Suites tried to help by putting separate apps under one login, but the apps still didn’t know about each other. So we set out to build one app, from the ground up, where everything a team does lives together.

What we believe

Six beliefs behind every decision

  • One place, not tenEverything a team works on belongs in one app, not spread across tools joined by logins and links.
  • One product, one feelMoving from a chat to a doc should feel like walking into the next room, not opening another app.
  • AI is a teammateZanbase Agent works with the permissions of the person using it.
  • The same rules everywhereSharing, search, mentions and permissions work the same way for everything, so there is nothing to relearn.
  • Simple beats cleverThe simplest design that does the whole job wins. Fewer things to learn is the feature.
  • Everything for everyoneChat, docs, projects and Zanbase Agent are on every plan. Usage limits vary, and single sign-on is available on Enterprise.

How we work

Built to last, not just to ship

A workspace holds a team’s most important work, so we build it the way we would want our own built. Rebuilt more than 11 times, Zanbase reflects that commitment to getting the foundation right.

  • Start from a blank slateFor every change we ask what we would build if we started Zanbase today, and build that, even when it means redoing something that already works.
  • Fix the cause, not the symptomNo quick patches that make tomorrow harder. When something is wrong, we fix why it is wrong.
  • Build it once, use it everywhereWhen two parts of Zanbase need the same thing, they share it, so it works the same way wherever you meet it.
  • Quality is the minimumReliable, secure and accessible from the start, and finished all the way to the parts you see and touch.
