About Announcements and Team Chat.

Your role may not include it. Ask your workspace owner to open Workspace → Users and give your role access to Team Chat.

Can I do this on my phone?

Yes. SelfRun AI works in the browser on any device and can be installed as an app on Android, iOS and desktop, with the same screens and the same data.

Does this cost extra?

No. Announcements comes with the Team Chat panel, and every panel is included in every plan.

What is SelfRun AI?

SelfRun AI is a cloud platform that brings your sales, HR, finance, projects, procurement, training, documents, website and team communication into one system, with AI and workflow automation running through all of it.

Do I need to use every module?

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan is free forever for one person and includes every panel and every feature — no card needed. Paid plans add more people and bigger storage, AI, email and voice allowances.
