Discover the most powerful layer of Luklak’s communication: a dedicated chat feed on every single Object for perfectly contextual, auditable conversations.
The most critical business conversations—a decision on a client proposal, a key piece of feedback on a design, a question about a bug report—are often the hardest to find weeks later. They get lost in endless email chains, buried in generic Slack channels, or simply evaporate after a meeting. This information fragmentation is a silent killer of productivity.
Object Chat solves this by creating a permanent, contextual home for every conversation.
A complete, real-time chat feed built directly into every single 🧊 Object, keeping conversations perfectly in context with the work itself.
Object Chat is the third and most powerful level of Luklak’s Unified Live Chat architecture. This feature fundamentally changes what an 🧊 Object is. It’s no longer just a static collection of data fields; it becomes a living record that combines two crucial types of information:
Structured Data: The fields, statuses, assignees, and dates that define the work.
Unstructured Conversation: The real-time discussion, debate, and decision-making about that work.
Visually, Object Chat is seamlessly integrated with the Object’s data. When viewing an Object in a side panel, the chat feed appears directly below the structured fields. In a full-screen, expanded view, the chat occupies a dedicated panel on the right, allowing you to see the conversation alongside the data at all times.
Think of every 🧊 Object as its own dedicated, hyper-focused meeting room. The topic is clear, the right people are there, and the entire history of the conversation is permanently recorded and accessible at any time.
Communicating directly on an 🧊 Object is simple and intuitive. All discussions related to a specific task, deal, or item happen right where the work is managed.
You must be a member of the ⏹️ Space or have explicit access to the 🧊 Object to view and participate in its chat.

# Tutorial: Having a Contextual ConversationThis tutorial shows you how to use Object Chat to communicate about a specific work item.## Section 1: Start a Conversation1. **Open an Object** Navigate to any `⏹️ Space` and click on an `🧊 Object` from a Workview (like a List or Kanban board) to open its detailed view. 2. **Find the Chat Panel** Locate the Live Chat interface. You will see the history of all previous messages here. * Tip: In an expanded, full-screen view, the panel is on the right. In a side-panel view, the chat is located directly below the Object's data fields.3. **Send Your Message** Type your message into the input box at the bottom of the panel. You can use `@mentions` to notify a specific user or team. Press `Enter` to send. 4. **View the Permanent Record** Your message now appears instantly in the chat feed. It is permanently stored with this `🧊 Object`, creating an auditable history for anyone who works on it in the future.
Unprecedented Auditability: Easily trace the entire history of any work item—from initial request to final approval—without ever leaving the 🧊 Object.
Zero Context Switching: Discuss the work in the work. No more toggling between your project tool and your chat app, copying and pasting links.
Effortless Onboarding: When a new member joins a project, they can get up to speed instantly by simply reading the relevant Object Chat history. No time-consuming handover meetings required.
Clarity and Focus: Never again ask “Where should I post this question?” The answer is always: on the 🧊 Object itself.
