Own every conversation.

Rocket.Chat is the interoperable-by-design collaboration platform for defense and civilian agencies, critical infrastructure operators, and enterprises that must work across organizations, borders, and classification levels. It lets organizations work with every agency, ally and partner across borders and classification levels, with messaging, voice, video, screen sharing, apps and governed AI on infrastructure they control: on-premises, in a secure cloud or air-gapped, with native Matrix and XMPP federation.

Armed forces, intelligence agencies, federal system integrators, government agencies, critical infrastructure operators and enterprises. Customers include the U.S. Navy, eu-LISA, NATO CCDCOE and the Government of British Columbia. More than 12 million people in over 150 countries use Rocket.Chat.

Governed AI is a core part of the Rocket.Chat platform, not an add-on. It works inside the conversations your teams already have, on your own models and infrastructure, under the same access rules as your people: every answer is scoped to what each person may see, and nothing leaves your environment. It summarizes and translates conversations, answers from your organization's knowledge, and runs AI agents built with the Rocket.Chat Agent Kit or connected through a native MCP server. Agents act on request or propose actions on their own, and nothing executes outside the approvals you set.

MS Teams and Slack run in vendor-controlled public clouds. Rocket.Chat runs on infrastructure you control, including air-gapped and classified networks, so it keeps working when the network or the vendor's cloud doesn't. Where MS Teams is already in place, Rocket.Chat bridges to it so you keep that investment.

Rocket.Chat is natively both a Matrix homeserver and an XMPP server, so allies, agencies and partners on either protocol connect server to server, with every message tied to its real sender. Bridges reach MS Teams and other systems, and the REST API, SDKs and Apps Engine for building custom apps, workflows and integrations connect your own tools.

Yes. Rocket.Chat runs on-premises, in a secure cloud or fully air-gapped, from headquarters to the tactical edge. It is deployed on NIPR, SIPR and JWICS and in DoW IL2 to IL6 environments, and keeps working in denied, disrupted and low-bandwidth conditions.

Rocket.Chat holds a SOC 2 Type II attestation and ISO/IEC 27001 certification. It offers attribute-based access control, post-quantum encryption, a FIPS-compliant image and a full audit trail, and conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA for accessibility.

Rocket.Chat was founded in 2015 in Porto Alegre, Brazil, where its R&D office is. It is a fully remote company of 90+ Rocketeers in 70+ cities, serving customers and partners across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. Where your data lives is your choice: self-hosted, Rocket.Chat runs on infrastructure you control, in the jurisdiction you choose, and can run fully air-gapped with no connection to Rocket.Chat at all.

Yes. The platform is open source under the MIT license, with more than 46,000 stars on GitHub. Every deployment starts on Starter, free for up to 50 users. Organizations then upgrade to a paid plan (Commercial, Government or Defense) or downgrade to Community Edition.
