Features — project management, chat, docs, KPIs

What Damda does

Project management, messaging, documents, reviews, and meetings from one account. The areas below share the same data, and web and app show the same screen. Anything marked beta is built and opening in stages.

Four things that are genuinely connected

Rather than listing features, these are the places where Damda actually behaves differently from a stack of separate tools.

Projects come with their conversation

Create a project and its channel is created with it. Work talk does not drift into a separate messenger, and when you search months later it surfaces beside the work.

Several people write the same document at once

Meeting notes get written by everyone in the room. The block editor has slash commands, callouts, and embeds, and concurrent edits merge without conflicts.

Build the table you actually need

Add a tab to a project and build a table. Ten column types, calculated formulas, and file attachments — so the work does not move back into a spreadsheet.

Approvals stay inside the product

The team manager writes the team KPI, the final approver confirms it, and individual KPIs then open by themselves. Confirmed goals lock; only progress moves, in rounds.

Projects & tasks

Every view a project needs, over one set of data

Look at the same data as a Gantt chart, a Kanban board, or a table. Switching views never means entering the data again.

Projects

A unique code and five states — planning, in progress, review, done, on hold
Attach more than one team to a project
Archive finished projects — they leave the list and the data stays
Browse past projects and their conversations read-only from the archive

Milestones and tasks

Tasks under milestones, subtasks under tasks — viewed as a tree
Assign several owners to a single task
Milestone and project progress recalculate when a task status changes
Mark business trips, issues, and after-sales work as task attributes rather than scattering them across separate menus

Custom tables

Add a tab to a project and build a table
Ten column types — text, number, date, checkbox, select, multi-select, person, link, attachment, formula
Calculate amounts with a formula column (quantity × unit price)
Start from a template — bill of materials, budget and spend, risk register, deliverables list
Up to 30 columns and 5,000 rows per table

Files and contacts

Attach files to projects and tasks — up to 500 MB per file
Preview Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Hangul (HWP), and PDF in the browser with nothing installed
Turn 3D drawings around in the browser — STL, STEP, IGES
Expand a STEP assembly into its parts, and measure lengths on the spot (mm)
Keep the client contact list on the project it belongs to

Conversations

Work talk stops leaking into another app

Create a project and its channel comes with it. Search later and the conversation and the work turn up in the same place.

Channels and DMs

One channel per project — nobody has to create it
One-to-one and group DMs, plus a private space for notes to yourself
Group channels into sections your own way — nobody organises them the same
Unread counts and typing indicators show in the list

Messages

Collapse replies into threads
Emoji reactions and @mentions — mentions reach the inbox and push notifications
Call everyone in a channel at once with @channel
Post a poll as a message — multiple choice, anonymous, with a closing time
Attach links to poll options, and edit them after posting
Browse the files and images shared in each channel on their own

Finding things

One search covers channels, tasks, projects, files, and messages together
A separate search stays inside the channel you are reading

Notifications

Turn notifications on and off per channel
Configure in-app and push notifications separately by notification type
Repeated notifications about the same thing collapse into one line

Docs & meeting notes

Meeting notes get written during the meeting

Several people edit the same document at once and the edits merge without conflicts. The edit history is kept on the server.

Block editor

Insert blocks with a slash (/)
Callouts, quotes, dividers, tables, checklists
YouTube and external embeds, plus link cards that carry a title and thumbnail
Split the page into two columns — a table on the left, the explanation on the right
Numbered lists continue as 1.1. when you indent them — policies and procedures move across as they are
Drop images, video, and files straight into the body

Real-time collaboration

Edit one document together — the last person to save does not overwrite the rest
Edits survive a dropped connection locally and merge when it comes back

Point-in-time view

Open a document as it read at an earlier point
Named checkpoints and per-day snapshots appear in one list
Restore that point if you want it back — the restore is itself a version, so you can go forward again

Where a document body appears

Tasks, projects, meeting notes, announcements, and personal to-dos each have one
It is the same editor wherever it appears, so you learn it once
Writing that belongs to nothing in particular goes in the wiki — same editor again

Templates

Save the forms you reuse as templates
The whole company uses them; only the author and admins can change them
Templates are scoped by where they are used — meeting notes, tasks, announcements

KPIs

Reviews that ran in spreadsheets, moved into the product

Goals are set once and then frozen; inside the period only progress moves, in rounds. One screen shows who is at which stage.

A KPI cycle and per-team approval status

Cycles and roles

Annual, half-year, or quarterly — periods are set by date, so any cadence works
Each team has a final approver and a team manager
The team manager starts as the team lead and can be changed from the admin screen

Entry — once only

The team manager creates the KPI and starts it there and then — no waiting on an approver
Submit the team KPI and the final approver confirms it
Once the team KPI is confirmed, individual KPIs open by themselves — nobody opens them
Members submit, the team manager confirms, and entry ends when everyone is confirmed
Each item carries a category, task name, target, unit, and weight, plus high/medium/low criteria
Weights are checked to total 100 at submission

Update rounds

Check in several times within the period — the final approver opens a first, second, third round
A round only takes progress figures and per-item comments
Individuals submit, the team manager reviews, the final approver confirms
Confirm one round and the next can be opened
Set a deadline and writing locks once it passes; change the date and it reopens at once

What locks, and when

When entry ends, targets, weights, and criteria freeze — a goal that shifts mid-period makes the review meaningless
After that only progress moves, and only inside an open round
Close the KPI and progress freezes too, leaving the dashboard
Opening, submitting, confirming, and rejecting are all recorded with reasons
A confirmed KPI cannot be deleted — losing the approval erases the basis of the review

Weekly reports

Once a week, write what you did and what comes next, then submit
Set a reporting line per team with first, second, and third-stage reviewers
It moves on once the previous stage confirms — the order is the stage
Submissions can be withdrawn, and only the person whose turn it is gets notified

Meetings, video & calendar

Schedules, notes, and calls in one flow

You do not have to create meeting notes before you can make a call. Use whichever piece you need.

The meeting list — meetings and attendees per project

Meeting notes

Manage internal and external attendees within the same meeting
Record duration and location, and write the body in the block editor
Link it to a project and it shows there too — linking is optional

Calendar

Personal schedules, meetings, and company-wide events on one screen
Month view and time view
All-day events, time blocks, and multi-day ranges all work
Set recurrence and an advance reminder (an hour before, for example)

My work

See what to handle today on a Kanban board
Pull in project tasks or create free-form notes
Classify as to-do, meeting, or business trip so the calendar can tell them apart

AI meeting notes

Record a meeting and it is transcribed, then summarised into a draft set of notes
The draft lands in the meeting notes body, so you edit rather than write
Speakers are labelled so you can see who said what — switch it off for sensitive meetings
Recordings run up to 60 minutes each
Audio is processed inside Korea (Seoul) and never leaves the country
Included in Professional and Enterprise — 100 minutes per seat monthly, extended in 300-minute blocks
The 30-day trial includes 500 minutes in total, so you can check it before you buy
On-premise deployments can turn the feature off entirely

Video conferencing

Invite external participants who have no account on the service
Choose one of three — link only, link plus access code, or invited email addresses only
Hold guests in a waiting room until the host admits them
Revoke a link and every existing invitation dies at once. Each room has an expiry time
Who joined and left, and when, is recorded
Included in all four plans — what differs between them is the allowance, not the feature

Handa AI

Beta

An AI that knows Damda, resident on every screen

One thing separates it from a general chatbot — it reads your projects and tasks, and once you approve, it carries the work out inside Damda.

It knows the screen you are on

In "summarise this project", the "this" is the project you have open
Chips show what was loaded, and you can switch off anything you would rather not send
Select part of a document body and ask about that alone
The conversation survives a refresh and follows you between screens

Three things it does

Look things up — "what did I work on last week"
Pull things together — "summarise the team’s weekly reports"
Carry things out — "reassign this task and move it to in progress"
Answers carry source links, so you can click through to where it came from

Only what a person pressed

It shows what it is about to change and waits for [Run]
Approve a batch at once — one decision should not need three clicks
Undo what it just created
It holds no permissions of its own — it borrows yours, so it cannot see what you cannot

What is kept, and what is not

Questions are not stored — only usage is counted
It remembers facts rather than conversations, yours only, for 90 days
Customer data does not leave its tenant
Nothing is used to train a model

Which plans include it

Professional and Enterprise
The 30-day trial opens it too — not read-only, but carrying work out as well, around 100 queries
Usage is counted in tokens and resets on each billing date
It is in beta and opening in stages — we will show you the real screens on a call

Wiki & external connections

Beta

Write down how your company works, then let your AI read it

A home for documents that belong to nothing in particular. Connect that home to an outside AI such as Claude, and it starts answering as something that knows how you work.

Wiki

Create a space and put pages in it — a home for documents that hang off no task or meeting
The same editor as everywhere else, so collaboration, version history, and attachments come with it
Split each space into read, write, and maintain
Request access to a space you cannot enter
Unified search and Handa AI read the wiki too

External connections

Issue your own API key and attach an outside AI such as Claude to Damda
Turn reading and writing on separately — wiki read, work read, Damda write
Restrict which spaces each key can see
A key is shown once when issued and never stored. Revoke it whenever you like

Instruction spaces

Mark a space as one whose writing becomes instructions to the AI
Only admins can edit it, and guests cannot see that it exists
Editing the rules is editing what the AI does, so the permission is drawn tightly

Your company decides what is on

The wiki and external connections are switched on separately — using an internal document tool and sending those documents to an outside AI are different decisions
On-premise deployments can turn both off entirely
Both are in beta and opening in stages

Web & apps

Open it in a browser, or keep it running as an app

The installed app is a thin shell around the deployed web app. Improvements shipped to the web reach the app the same day, and you see the same screen wherever you open it.

Desktop app

Available for both macOS — Apple silicon and Intel — and Windows
Signed builds: notarised by Apple on macOS, Azure Artifact Signing on Windows
They install without a security warning and pass corporate IT policy (AppLocker, MDM)
Installs into the user folder — no administrator rights needed
Close the window and it stays in the tray, still receiving notifications
New versions download and apply themselves
Switch which company you connect to from the tray, for people who work across several

Mobile

Add it to the home screen from the browser and it behaves like an app — no store install
On mobile the interface switches to layouts built for conversations and file viewing
Push notifications arrive even with the browser closed
Video conferencing is not available on mobile — join from the desktop app or a browser

Where to get it

Settings › Desktop app offers the installer matching the system you are on
You can hand a browser session over to the app — chosen once, never asked again

Why Damda

Documents and conversations as good as the dedicated tools — approvals, reviews, and project management that those tools cannot do at all.
