About Owla
Owla is a team communication and collaboration application built on the Matrix protocol. It brings direct and room-based messaging, threaded conversations, file sharing, and task coordination into one workspace. Teams can create discussions around a topic, assign and track tasks, and use AI tools to summarize conversations, draft replies, and identify action items. The product supports end-to-end encrypted messaging and can be deployed with an organization’s own Matrix server, giving teams a self-hosting option. Owla also documents Google Calendar and broader Google Workspace connectivity, as well as webhooks. Desktop and mobile clients are available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. It is aimed at organizations and teams that need a shared communication space with controls for hosting and data privacy.
