It solves the problem of relying on third-party messaging services by giving users complete control over their communication infrastructure and data privacy.
Organizations, communities, and individuals who need private, controlled messaging solutions without depending on commercial platforms, particularly those with data privacy concerns or specific compliance requirements.
