CometChat Air
A modern team messenger that never leaves your network
CometChat AIR is a complete, ready-to-use, self-hosted team messenger. Get channels, DMs, threads, voice and video calls, and file sharing out of the box. Deploy it entirely on your own infrastructure with no third-party cloud. AI, moderation, translation, and push are optional add-ons you turn on only when you need them. Built on infrastructure powering 113,000+ apps and 7M+ messages every day.
We kept hearing the same thing from IT and security teams at hospitals, banks, and government agencies: they wanted a real team messenger, not a stripped-down open-source project, but every option that looked good ran on somebody else's cloud. Tools like Slack are great until compliance asks where the data actually lives. Self-hosted alternatives exist, but they're a decade behind on features and a pain to run.
So we built CometChat AIR: a full team messenger, channels, DMs, threads, voice and video calls, files, search, that deploys entirely inside your own environment and is air-gapped by default. The core stays sealed. AI, moderation, translation, push notifications: all opt-in, all off unless you turn them on.
A few things worth knowing: - Three deployment modes: fully air-gapped, on-prem with selected outbound access, or our managed cloud if you'd rather we run it. - Built on a decade of messaging infrastructure, not chat bolted onto a generalist tool. 113,000+ apps and 7M+ messages a day already run on it. - Governance built in: full audit logs, role-based user management, blocked screenshots.
If your org has been stuck choosing between a good chat experience and where your data is allowed to live, this is for you.
Try it, break it, tell us what's missing, we're in the comments all day.
Spent a couple hours with it and the self-hosted setup was way smoother than expected, everything just worked on my own box. The opt-in AI add-ons feel like a nice touch instead of being shoved in by default.
The fact that AI, moderation, translation, and push are opt-in rather than shoved in by default is such a refreshing choice. Nice to see a team messenger that respects simplicity first.
