really? I thought they were pretty much a direct competitor except with a different take on the whole idea. What's the use case for Quip then ?

What's the use case for Quip then ?
- jitl 6y agoQuip is a wiki. Use it to write and share documents. Slack is a communication tool. Use it to have conversations.
- noema 6y agoAt my job we use Quip strictly for collaborative design docs (i.e. architectural design, project scope, tutorials etc). Personally I don't think it can be a true wiki platform since it lacks robust indexing -- this is without doubt its biggest shortcoming.
- lobotryas 6y agoCorrect. Quip is not a wiki. I would call it an “opinionated and stripped-down version of GSuite with excellent collaboration support”. Quip also has chat stapled to it. Slack is missing doc management/creation. Quip is missing a good chat solution. It’s almost like PB&J.
- Slartie 6y agoA wiki? I thought it was an electric toothbrush!
- Irishsteve 6y agoWe used it as a google docs alternative
- nateburke 6y agoQuip competes with Office 365/Gsuite, not Microsoft Teams/Gchat.
