Today, communication at work rarely ends at the inbox. An email can initiate a conversation, prompt a meeting, result in a document, or lead to a decision. However, too frequently those actions are siloed: a note in someone’s email, a reminder stuck in a calendar, or a draft lost across multiple apps. The outcomes are friction, lost context, and wasteful delays.
Lark is built to remove those gaps. While other collaborative tools silo communication from productivity, Lark connects the two, allowing you to transform messages into tangible outcomes. Teams move effortlessly from ideation to execution, without the invisible handoff of following up on disparate tasks in a frenzy of information.
Lark Base: bringing structure to every process
Every organization needs a central hub to capture data, track progress, and give projects shape. That’s where Lark Base comes in. With its multiple views—grid, gallery, kanban, Gantt—it provides structure without being rigid. Teams can assign ownership, set deadlines, and configure advanced fields so nothing slips through the cracks.
For businesses seeking to enhance customer management, Lark a flexible CRM app, connects projects, data, and relationships in one place. Whether it’s logging leads, assigning follow-ups, or generating reports, the same platform adapts to sales, HR, or operations. Dashboards provide leaders with instant visibility, while automations ensure that repetitive work is handled consistently. The result is accountability paired with adaptability.
Lark Messenger: turning conversations into outcomes
Messaging can really speed up your day-to-day work. But if nobody’s keeping track, chats can get messy and noisy. Lark Messenger helps keep things on track with features like threaded replies, Buzz alerts for when things are super important, and pinned items to make key info stand out. Teams can share screenshots or even extract text from images, ensuring that nothing slips through the cracks.
Since Lark Messenger works right with the rest of Lark, making a quick call in a chat can kick off the next thing you need to do right away. Whether that’s setting up a meeting, making a task, or sharing a Lark Doc to start writing things up, moving from talking to doing is super easy.
Lark Calendar: visibility that prevents missed steps
Work can get stuck when people disagree on when tasks should be completed. Lark Calendar helps fix this with personal and group calendars, ways to see when people are free, and task syncing. Teams can view when meetings are scheduled and when tasks are due. Permissions keep private events secure, and recurring events prevent you from having to schedule the same thing repeatedly.
Since it integrates third-party applications with Google and Exchange, Calendar ensures that team members don’t have to use multiple planners. Every plan, from weekly meetings to major releases, is easy to see.
Lark Docs: co-editing with accuracy and context
Ideas only move forward when they are clearly captured. Lark Docs provides a flexible workspace for drafting, editing, and refining. Real-time co-editing keeps everyone aligned, while version history ensures accuracy. Teams can insert Sheets, Slides, or even mind maps directly into Docs, creating a single source of truth for complex projects.
Docs also support bi-directional links, making it easy to connect a proposal with the related reference material in Wiki or the campaign calendar. That connected context turns documents into living hubs rather than static files.
Lark Wiki: scaling institutional knowledge
Once work is finalized, it needs to be preserved for reference. Lark Wiki transforms knowledge into structured, searchable resources. With hierarchical organization, permission settings, and analytics, it supports scalability as organizations grow. Teams can migrate content from tools like Confluence or Word and keep it discoverable for onboarding, training, or daily decision-making.
Where Docs capture collaboration in motion, Wiki provides stability. Together, they ensure that knowledge is both dynamic and enduring.
Lark Meetings: clarity in every discussion
Meetings only matter if they move work forward. Lark Meetings builds momentum with features like Magic Share, where participants can co-edit Docs, Sheets, or Slides live in the meeting itself. Breakout rooms encourage smaller group problem-solving, while subtitles and cloud recordings ensure everyone can follow along.
Customization makes each meeting more inclusive—whether it’s adjusting layouts or enabling translation. By combining discussion with documentation, Meetings help teams make decisions faster and with fewer follow-ups.
Lark Minutes: from talk to traceable notes
After meetings, clarity often fades unless captured. Lark Minutes addresses this issue with live transcription, speaker identification, and searchable notes. In Meetings, you can enable AI Meeting Notes within the Minutes interface by default in the settings, which generates and sends an AI summary of the meeting.
The ability to create shareable clips and interactive transcripts makes it easy to pinpoint context without having to replay an entire call. Minutes become not just records, but actionable guides for follow-through.
Lark Approval: consistency in every decision
Approvals can bottleneck projects if they’re slow or unclear. Lark Approval accelerates decisions with customizable forms, conditional workflows, and real-time notifications in Messenger. Approvals also sync to Base for tracking, ensuring a complete record of who signed off and when.
This structured process reduces back-and-forth and supports an automated workflow, making approvals faster and more reliable without sacrificing accountability.
Lark Sheets: collaboration meets familiarity
Numbers drive decisions, but traditional spreadsheets often cause version chaos. Lark Sheets eliminates that risk with real-time co-editing and familiar functions. Teams can utilize pivot tables, conditional formatting, and protections to collaboratively analyze data.
AI formulas help simplify complex calculations, while embedding Sheets in Docs creates unified reports. Instead of emailing static files, teams work together on live data, ensuring transparency and accuracy.
Lark Mail: connecting the inbox to everything else
Email remains central to professional communication, but it often acts as a silo. Lark Mail keeps the inbox connected to action. With features like scheduled send, recall, and read receipts, it enhances communication efficiency.
More importantly, emails can be shared directly to Messenger or converted into Calendar invites, ensuring follow-up happens without manual copying. Migration support from Gmail and 365 enables teams to unify their inboxes without losing history.
Lark Slides: presenting ideas with flexibility
Great ideas deserve great storytelling. Lark Slides provides a collaborative canvas for presentations, with design tools, multimedia support, and linked Sheets charts. Teams can build decks together in real time and present them via Magic Share during Meetings.
Permissions and templates ensure consistency across an organization, while still allowing creative flexibility. Slides become not just a presentation tool, but a vehicle for shaping narratives that drive action.
Lark OKR: aligning goals with outcomes
Even the best tools need direction. Lark OKR ensures that teams align on what matters most. By setting objectives and key results, organizations gain visibility into progress at every level. Dashboards highlight achievements, while reminders keep teams focused.
Admins can manage cycles and permissions, ensuring the framework adapts to organizational needs. OKR alignment ensures that the actions triggered across Messenger, Docs, Base, and other features ultimately serve strategic goals.
Conclusion
Modern work is too fast for disconnected tools. Lark combines communication, calendars, documentation, approvals, and analytics into one connected workspace. Rather than switching between applications, teams can flow from emails and chats to meetings and records, and from drafts to published references.
This flow creates less friction in the work process, accelerates execution, and engenders accountability. For leaders, the word is visibility. For the team, the word is clarity. And for organisations, the word is impact at speed.
In a sea of competing solutions, Lark stands apart in pair and provides everyday usability with enterprise capability. For teams looking at the best project management tools, Lark has more to offer than just standalone features; it has a complete system that takes a step forward with every action.
