Lark

All-in-one collaboration suite with chat, docs, and meetings

FreemiumFree TierAdded Apr 1, 2019

About

Lark (by ByteDance) is a collaboration platform that bundles messaging, video conferencing, documents, spreadsheets, calendars, task management, and approval workflows in one app. Think Slack + Google Workspace + project management combined. Lark's differentiator is deep integration between modules — start a doc from a chat, create tasks from messages, and reference spreadsheets in documents seamlessly. It includes AI features for meeting transcription, doc summarization, and smart scheduling. The free tier is remarkably generous.

Origin Story

By Zhang Yiming

The Problem

ByteDance's fast-growing global team needed a single collaboration tool — existing options required stacking 5+ separate products.

Building It

Built as ByteDance's internal tool, launched externally in 2019. Growing rapidly especially in Asia-Pacific.

What It Means

Shows that a truly integrated collaboration suite can replace the fragmented Slack+Docs+Calendar stack.

The Dream

Replace the 5-10 collaboration tools every team uses with one seamlessly integrated platform.
