As Venn's user base grows, a consistent pattern is emerging in how people set up their connected stacks. The apps people connect first — and most — are the ones that hold the most operational context about their day-to-day work.

Here's how the landscape breaks down based on current connection data.

Most connected

Slack · Atlassian

These two top the list by a meaningful margin. Both are places where real work is tracked, discussed, and decided — Slack for team communication, Atlassian for issues, projects, and documentation.

Frequently connected

Google Drive · Google Calendar · Notion

These three cluster closely together. Document storage, scheduling, and notes — the infrastructure layer underneath most team workflows.

Also popular

Gmail · Datadog · GitHub

Email, observability, and source control. These tend to come in once the core stack is connected and people start extending AI into more specialized workflows.

What the data actually tells us

This distribution makes sense when you look at where knowledge work happens: team communication, project tracking, document storage, scheduling, and notes. These are the systems of record that teams depend on daily — and historically, the ones AI couldn't access.

Venn changes that. Once an app is connected, AI has the permissions it needs to read from and write to that system based on what you allow. A user who connects Slack, Atlassian, and Google Drive gives AI access to their conversations, their backlog, and their documents — in context, not in isolation.

The same patterns apply across your stack

The most useful insight from this data isn't which specific apps top the list. It's that the underlying workflows transfer across tools in the same category. Whatever your team uses, the AI workflows are the same.

Communication

The workflows built around Slack apply directly to Microsoft Teams. AI can read channel history, summarize threads, surface decisions, draft messages, and send them — regardless of which platform your team is on.

"Use Venn to check what was discussed in #eng-standup this week and update the Notion sprint summary page."

Project and issue tracking

Atlassian workflows — Jira for issue tracking, Confluence for documentation — map cleanly to Linear, Asana, Monday.com, Basecamp, and Microsoft Planner. AI can read your backlog, write new tickets, update status, and surface blockers across any of them.

"Use Venn to find all the Jira tickets blocking the current sprint and tell me who owns them."

File storage and documents

Google Drive workflows transfer directly to Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, and SharePoint. AI can read documents, find the right file, draft new ones, and save them — without you digging through folders.

"Use Venn to find everything related to our Q3 launch and give me a one-paragraph summary of where things stand."

Scheduling

Google Calendar workflows apply equally to Outlook Calendar. AI can check availability, find conflicts, and draft meeting agendas based on what's already booked.

"Use Venn to show me what meetings I have next week across all three of my calendars."

Notes and knowledge management

Notion workflows carry over to Google Docs, OneNote, and Confluence. AI can read your notes, update pages, and create new entries without you switching tabs.

"Use Venn to read my existing Notion product docs, research the competitive landscape, and draft a phased roadmap with epics and sprint plans — then write it back to Notion."

Email

Gmail workflows work the same way in Outlook Mail. AI can read threads, draft replies, and send messages on your behalf.

"Use Venn to find every email from a customer that I haven't replied to this week and draft a response for each one."

Monitoring and engineering

The Datadog and GitHub patterns extend to Grafana, Sentry, SonarQube, and GitLab. AI can surface errors, read dashboards, investigate issues, and flag regressions — across whichever observability and source control tools your team uses.

"Use Venn to check for any critical alerts or open incidents from the last 24 hours and summarize what needs attention before standup."

Venn is designed to support this: not a fixed set of apps, but a connected stack that matches how your team actually works — regardless of which specific tools you've chosen within each category.

Frequently asked questions

What are the most-connected apps in Venn?

Slack and Atlassian are the most-connected apps among active Venn users. Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Notion follow closely. Gmail, Datadog, and GitHub are also among the most frequently connected tools.

Does Venn support Microsoft tools alongside Google Workspace?

Yes. Venn supports Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, Outlook Mail, Outlook Calendar, SharePoint, Planner, Excel, PowerPoint, and Word — alongside Google Workspace tools including Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides. Teams using either ecosystem, or a mix of both, can connect their full stack through Venn.

What can AI do once multiple apps are connected through Venn?

Once connected, AI can work across all linked apps based on the permissions you set. For example: AI can read a Slack or Teams thread, cross-reference an open Jira or Linear ticket, pull context from a Google Drive or OneDrive document, and draft a summary — all in a single workflow, without you switching between tools or copying context manually.

How are permissions managed across connected apps?

Permissions are set in Venn by you. You control what AI can read, what it can write, and which parts of each app it can access. You can grant read-only access to one app and full read-write access to another. Nothing is shared or accessed beyond what you explicitly configure.

What AI models are compatible with Venn?

Venn works with Claude, ChatGPT, and other leading AI models. You choose the model that fits your workflow and can switch at any time.
