The new language of work: Visual, written, and real-time collaboration
By Leif Larsen | August 22, 2025

Alright, here’s the scoop—work isn’t just about emails or meetings anymore. These days, you’re flipping between docs, charts, and group chats like you’re in some kind of productivity Olympics. If you can’t handle visuals, writing, and real-time chats all together, things get messy fast.

The problem? Most workplaces are patching together a bunch of random tools that barely talk to each other. You’ve got your graphs over here, team notes lost in some other app, and chat messages popping up somewhere else. No wonder stuff falls through the cracks and everything slows down.

Lark gets it. It pulls all your work stuff—visuals, notes, and chats—into one place, so you’re not wasting time hunting for info or switching tabs like a maniac. Way friendlier, right?

Lark Slides: the visual language of stories

You know how a good slide deck just makes everything easier to understand? Like, whether you’re trying to impress a client or just get through another team update, visuals are honestly a lifesaver. The only thing is—working on slides with a team can get messy real fast. You end up with five different versions, your data’s out of sync, and everyone’s a little bit confused (or a lot, let’s be honest).

Lark Slides totally fixes this headache. Everyone can jump in and edit together, so you’re always looking at the same thing. No more “wait, which file is the latest?” moments. And if your numbers change (because, yeah, they always do), the charts in your slides update automatically from Lark Sheets. You don’t even have to think about it.

It’s also super easy to keep things looking sharp. There are templates to save you from any design disasters, and you can add videos or cool graphics to keep people interested. When it’s time to present, there’s a Magic Share feature so you can go live in Lark Meetings—no more juggling files or fighting with screen share.

Basically, Lark Slides makes teamwork on presentations so much smoother. Your info’s up-to-date, your slides look great, and everyone’s on the same page. Honestly, it just makes work feel a little less chaotic.

Lark Docs: the written language of clarity

Documents have always been the heart and soul of how teams get stuff done. That’s where the big plans, wild ideas, and must-do strategies all come together. But, oh man, in so many companies, docs just end up as a mess—flying around as email attachments, or lost in some dusty old drive nobody checks. You get five versions with names like “FINAL_final_THISone,” and everyone’s confused. It’s a headache, and it totally slows down teamwork.

Lark Docs just flips that whole mess on its head. You and your crew can jump in and edit together, live—no more sending drafts back and forth, waiting for replies, or trying to merge a million comments. Edits show up right away, so everyone’s on the same page. And if someone accidentally nukes half the doc? No sweat, you can just roll it back with the version history.

What’s super easy is how Lark Docs actually hooks into the rest of your tools. You can link docs with wikis, spreadsheets, or whatever else you’re working on. Need a chart or a form? Just stick it right in there. No more digging around or flipping tabs. So instead of being just another boring file, your docs actually feel alive—they’re always up to date, always part of the conversation, and always right where you need them. Teamwork just got a whole lot easier.

Lark Messenger: the real-time language of speed

visual, collaboration

Work doesn’t always happen in scheduled meetings or carefully drafted documents. More often, it moves at the pace of conversation. Quick chats spark ideas, clarify details, or trigger urgent actions. But when these conversations are scattered across multiple messaging apps or buried in email chains, important information gets lost.

Lark Messenger is built for real-time clarity. Conversations remain organized through threaded replies, keeping discussions focused instead of disappearing into endless scrolls. Urgent updates can be highlighted with Buzz alerts, ensuring the right people respond immediately. Teams can pin critical messages—like links, instructions, or deadlines—so they stay visible rather than lost in the flow of chat. The real differentiator, however, is how seamlessly 

conversations connect to action. A decision made in Messenger can instantly become a task in Calendar, an event on the schedule, or a shared Doc for further refinement. This integration transforms Messenger from just another chat app into a true action hub, where the real-time language of work doesn’t just spark ideas but drives execution.

Lark Wiki: the language of memory

Fast-moving teams risk forgetting as much as they accomplish. Without a central knowledge base, valuable insights disappear into inboxes or are locked in individual hard drives. Over time, this creates inefficiency—new employees struggle to onboard, teams duplicate work, and leaders are forced to answer the same questions repeatedly.

Lark Wiki solves this problem by turning knowledge into structured, accessible memory. Content is organized in logical hierarchies so employees can easily navigate to policies, guides, or project archives. Powerful search capabilities ensure answers are never more than a few keystrokes away, while permissions allow sensitive content to remain protected. Usage analytics help leaders identify the most valuable resources and improve documentation over time. By bringing information together in one place, Wiki makes knowledge durable and shareable, ensuring the language of memory supports growth rather than holding it back.

Lark Base: connecting every language into workflows

visual, collaboration

All collaboration—visual, written, or real-time—generates data. But without structure, that data risks becoming noise. Lark Base provides the foundation to transform inputs from every source into actionable workflows.

Teams can choose the structure that suits them best, whether it’s kanban boards for tracking progress, grid views for detailed data, or Gantt charts for managing timelines. Dashboards give leaders a high-level view of performance, while advanced fields capture crucial details like budgets, dependencies, and ownership. Built-in automations reduce repetitive manual work, automatically updating records or triggering notifications when conditions are met.

For many organizations, Lark itself becomes more than a collaboration tool—it functions as their all-in-one CRM app. By bringing together communication, projects, and customer information, it ensures workflows stay unified instead of fragmented. This adaptability makes Base the hub that connects every language of work.

Lark Approval: adding structure to decisions

visual, collaboration

Every workflow requires decisions, and poorly managed approvals can derail progress. In rigid systems, requests are submitted through email, tracked in spreadsheets, and followed up through chat—introducing delays and confusion. These fragmented processes slow down projects and frustrate employees.

Lark Approval provides structure without rigidity. Teams can create customizable forms that ensure requests contain the right details upfront. Conditional routing automatically directs approvals to the right people, preventing bottlenecks. Notifications appear in Messenger, keeping progress visible where teams are already collaborating. All approvals sync with Base, creating a transparent and traceable record for accountability. By establishing an automated workflow, Approval turns decision-making into a seamless process rather than a stumbling block.

Conclusion

The workplace now speaks in three languages—visual, written, and real-time. But when those languages exist in silos, they create confusion instead of clarity.

Lark brings them together. Slides provide visual storytelling, Docs ensure written clarity, Messenger enables real-time collaboration, Wiki preserves knowledge, Base structures workflows, and Approval keeps decisions moving. Together, these features form a connected system where every language of work supports the others.

Among today’s many project management tools, Lark stands out by supporting every way teams communicate and collaborate. Instead of forcing employees into rigid patterns, it empowers them to move between visual, written, and real-time collaboration seamlessly—speaking the full language of modern work.
