The Gap

Your data lives on their terms

Every mainstream chat tool runs on somebody else's cloud, under somebody else's jurisdiction. For regulated industries, that's not a compliance footnote, it's disqualifying.

Great UX. Wrong place for your data.

Familiar and fast, but multi-tenant and cloud-only. It won't deploy where your data has to stay, and your conversations live on someone else's infrastructure.

Convenient. Completely ungoverned.

Without a sanctioned tool, team drift to WhatsApp and Slack, moving sensitive discussion onto personal phones and outside servers

In your control. Hard to run, thin on features

Self-hosted messengers hand you the keys, but they're heavy to operate, thin on features, and rarely built to the scale or experience your team expects.

Solution: CometChat Air

Modern and sealed, no compromise.

CometChat Air keeps everything inside infrastructure you actually control. A complete, polished team messenger that deploys inside your environment and runs air-gapped by default. The experience your team wants, on the terms your organization requires.

Trusted Infrastructure

AIR-GAPPED BY DEFAULT

Sealed by default. Connected only when you choose.

  • The core is isolated

    Messaging, channels, calls and files run entirely within your network. Nothing leaves unless you say so.

  • Add-ons are opt-in

    Moderation, AI, push notifications, translation, and location are the only services that ever connect outside your network. Enable each only if you want it. Leave them off and Air stays 100% air-gapped.

  • Governed end to end

    Full audit logs, role-based access as people join and leave, and controls like blocked screenshots. The oversight security and compliance teams need to stay in command.

A complete messenger

Everything your team expects. Nothing they have to give up

Built on a decade of messaging infrastructure, not chat bolted onto a generalist tool. The full experience, ready on day one.

Channels & direct messages

Public channels, private groups and 1:1 DMs with presence, reactions and pins.

Threads & search

Keep conversations organized with threads, and find anything with fast in-app search.

Voice & video calls

1:1 and group calling with screen share and recording, right inside the messenger.

Files & rich media

Share documents, images and voice notes, all stored within your environment.

AI agents & assist

Optional AI for summaries, replies and in-chat agents — enabled only when you allow it.

Moderation & guardrails

Keyword and pattern filters, roles and policies to keep regulated conversations safe.

Deploy Your Way

Your environment, your rules

One messenger, three ways to run it: Start fully sealed and open up only if and when you need to

Air-gapped

On-prem / self-hosted with no outbound connectivity. The whole messenger lives inside your network. Ideal for classified, clinical, and regulated environments.

On-prem, connected

Self-hosted, with selected services allowed to reach approved external systems. You control exactly which services, and where they connect.

Cloud-hosted

Prefer we run it? Deploy the same messenger on CometChat's managed cloud and roll out in days, not quarters, at a fraction of the cost of comparable enterprise messengers.
