Muddy is a new type of browser positioned as a "multiplayer browser," designed to provide ambitious teams with an all-in-one experience of apps, messaging, and intelligence. It is not just a browser, but a collaboration platform.
Main Purpose
Muddy is designed specifically for team collaboration, especially suited for scenarios such as product design and development that require multiple people to jointly use various web apps. It helps teams break free from tab chaos and chat overload by integrating the apps, files, and conversations needed for work into one shared space.
Main Capabilities
- Shared Workspaces: Users can create shared views that bring favorite apps together and share them with team members. Muddy's AI automatically renders and categorizes tabs based on their importance to the user, eliminating the need to manually organize the workspace.
- Infinite Backtracking Across Apps and Chats: Quickly browse the entire space of apps, files, and conversations, instantly load each file and website, then jump to any location and immediately use the app.
- Universal Comments: Supports highlighting, clicking, and sending comments on any app or website, similar to having a Slack thread on every app and website, keeping communication concise and organized. Supports selecting image regions, video timestamps, and pointing to specific locations within a website.
- Team Presence and Collaboration: With one click, view the activity of other team members across all projects and directly join their apps or conversations, enabling multiplayer presence and cross-app collaboration.
- AI Q&A: Muddy continuously learns from all the apps and conversations users use, and can answer real-time difficult questions that only a colleague could answer. It automatically reads all tabs, learns from conversations, and asks follow-up questions when needed.
How to Use
