The modern internet and the many social media and messaging apps accompanying it have changed how people communicate. However, with so many different messaging platforms now present online, it is easy to get lost in "communication chaos"—a state of disorganization, fragmentation, stress, and inefficiency that arises from managing multiple communication channels. For both businesses and consumers, this can manifest in several ways.
In this era of increasingly fragmented communication, Disa Works, Inc. is positioned to streamline user experience and organise the chaos.
What Is Disa?
Disa is a unified messaging app that integrates a user's multiple messaging services into one, easy-to-use user interface. Using the Disa app, you can organize conversations, shared files, photo galleries, and group conversations from disparate platforms, including Telegram, Meta communication channels, SMS, and email, all in one place.
The killer feature unique to Disa enables users to see all conversations with one person or client, even across different messaging apps, in a single thread. You can reply to any message from any of the messaging apps on one screen, without switching between them. Email will also be included in Disa's v1 release.
"Early users quickly realized that keeping your messaging organized became much easier after experiencing the Disa beta release," says CEO François Lebon-Schneider. "You will rapidly recognize how powerful it is to have all your contacts' conversations, no matter which messaging service the messages come from, consolidated into one organized screen. You can search and find information relevant to a conversation instantly. This level of efficiency is remarkable."
A Focus on Security
Security is always an issue when communicating online. Though many cross-platform messaging systems now include encryption protocols as a new standard, there seems to be a constant progression of vulnerability exploitations.
Disa does not introduce any additional server-based infrastructure to support this unified messaging model. Other messaging aggregators route communication through intermediate servers, whereas Disa avoids this by connecting directly to the native platforms, thereby leveraging their existing encryption and security protocols. As a result, Disa does not present an incrementally larger attack surface for malware, hackers, ransomware purveyors, or other bad actors in the space, making Disa as secure as the messaging services it supports.
"User privacy is a pillar focus for our product team. It's essential to maintain user trust and foster a healthy relationship with messaging platforms that also prioritize messaging security. With Disa, message storage and encryption are handled by the messaging platforms and users' devices only. We do not want to see, collect, or store any messaging data," says François Lebon-Schneider.
A Competitive Edge
Disa developed its technology earlier than many thought necessary. However, in overseeing the tech industry's move toward an open-source environment, Disa understood that the trend would make their discovery relevant.
Disa has been aggressive in protecting its IP and has been granted 8 global PCT patents covering the United States, Europe, and China. In addition, the Disa app boasts unusually high user engagement, with sessions averaging 12 minutes in a market in which its competitors' sessions were averaging less than 5 minutes.
"We have tackled some tough problems and created a solution that the market clearly wants," François Lebon-Schneider says. "We cracked the code on a big issue impacting one of the most essential parts of daily life—how people communicate with each other," he continues.
Future Vision and Growth Potential
Disa's future goals and vision involve a roadmap in which they integrate AI assistance, email, and other services to create an all-encompassing communication ecosystem. With Disa, the goal is simple: to be the most all-inclusive app in the marketplace by providing one location where users can streamline and organize their messaging needs.
With over 5 million downloads on the Google Play Store and 1 million peak beta users, Disa Works is projecting $82 million in year 3 with the proceeds of its current capital raise.
"In just 12 months, we achieved 750,000 to 1 million active users across 128+ countries, all through organic growth and without any marketing expenditure. The beta went completely viral," states the Disa team.
Disa's innovative and extensible plugin framework for supporting new messaging services, patent protection of key inventions, and innovative message threading/merging tech uniquely positions the company to change the landscape of personal and business messaging.
