About Weavy

Weavy is an embeddable framework that allows organizations to easily "drop in" collaboration features on top of any web applications they use for work. The continuous and contextual UI enables seamless, cross-app sharing and communication. It eliminates the need for several standalone, disconnected solutions. Embedded collaboration empowers users, increases productivity, and centralizes content and conversations that would otherwise be scattered across applications.

Included in Weavy are news feeds, file sharing and storage, instant messaging, team chat, task management, document collaboration, and more. Built-in integrations include Office 365, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox. Developers can create custom integrations or design their own UI components with the Weavy API, as well as embed the framework in applications they have built themselves.

Weavy is headquartered in Venice, California and is a Microsoft ISV Partner. Learn more about embedded collaboration.
