Profile
Qaiku is not just a communication tool but a getting to know your colleagues tool. Each user has his/hers own profile with a photo, interests and other useful information. In addition to person's basic information, profiles also place the person in to organisation's social graph by showing connections to other members of the organisation. Long story short, profiles give faces to your colleagues.
Stream
The very core element of Qaiku is the personalized message stream. The stream contains messages and comments from persons you follow, from channels you have joined and comments from discussions you have joined. Filtering unrelevant messages off the stream is fast and simple.
Threads
Every Qaiku message automatically starts a new Qaiku thread that can be commented by others. Threaded conversation makes it easy for you to follow the discussion and hop in at any moment. You can add links, pictures, files and embedded content¹ both to your messages and your comments (and yes, there's no character limit for comments!). We can proudly say that this beats messy email discussions any day.

Channels
You can start interests channels to gather all the interesting discussions about the hot topic under the same roof or use channels for a project communication and management. Channels can be public to all employees or completely private and to been seen just by a group of you choose.
Languages
The very foundations of Qaiku are built to support people speaking multiple languages. This means users can use any language they know but at the same time they see messages only in languages they understand. Speaking Chinese or Finnish? You can, and you don't need to worry about spamming your contacts who don't understand a word.
Pulse
What's happening in the organisation right now? Pulse shows the heartbeat of the organisation and views the latest messages and comments from the entire organisation. It also shows the hottest discussions going on at the moment for easier discovery of relevant topics.
Chat
Qaiku offers a practical and easy to use instant messaging tool that allows all members of the organisation chat with each other when they are online. Qaiku's chat is also more secure than other instant messaging services because it operates on the same server with the rest of the organisation Qaiku.
Administration
Administrators of the organisation have several ways to manage the userbase of the organisation. Furthermore, they can adjust security and other settings of the organisation Qaiku. For example, they can decide that organisation can only be accessed from certain range of ip addresses.
