Raven

Raven is a simple, open source team messaging platform built on the Frappe framework. It offers channels, direct messages, threads, rich text, file sharing, and reactions, and it's designed for teams — especially those already using Frappe apps like ERPNext and Frappe HR — to keep all their communication in one place.

Raven is built for business collaboration rather than community gaming or social chat. Its standout feature is deep integration with the Frappe ecosystem: you can share ERPNext documents with previews inside chat, trigger notifications on document events, and even run workflows or print documents directly from conversations.

Yes. Raven is fully self-hostable. It provides an easy install script that sets up a production-ready instance in about five minutes, and it can be deployed on Frappe Cloud or your own infrastructure. You own your source code, data, and runtime.

Yes. Raven AI lets you build bots and agents without writing code. You can extract data from files and images, chain multiple tasks, gather information from multiple sources, and call ERPNext functions — all from within chat conversations. These agents maintain context across complex multistep tasks via threads.

Raven supports all popular OAuth providers, custom OAuth, magic-link email login, 2FA (via email, SMS, or authenticator apps), LDAP, and session timeout and IP-based login restrictions. It also offers a mobile app and dark mode for a modern, productive experience.
