RedKix sits on top of existing email accounts (Microsoft Exchange, Office 365 and Google Apps) to add real-time messaging, typing indicators, read receipts and group chat while still delivering regular email to non-RedKix users. The product combines subject-based email conversations that become ad-hoc chat channels with subjectless chat (Slack-like channels) and group messaging. The company is targeting enterprises and emphasizes IT-friendly design that respects existing email policies, security and retention settings, plus an enterprise edition with control tools. RedKix runs in the browser and offers desktop apps for macOS and Windows; mobile apps were slated to launch within weeks of the article. The team is focused on integrations (an early JIRA demo and a Chrome plugin were shown) and plans a public beta by the end of fall. At the time of the article RedKix had 27 employees, most in Israel, and was in private beta accepting invites.
