BirdyChat professional messaging app

BirdyChat is a specialized professional messaging application designed to bridge the gap between personal chat apps and internal corporate tools. Launched in May 2026, the platform gained significant attention as the first messaging service to achieve full interoperability with WhatsApp under the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA). This allows professionals to communicate with external business contacts who remain on WhatsApp without the need for those contacts to download a new application.

Originally founded in Riga, Latvia, the brand was created by entrepreneurs Rolands Mesters and Martins Spilners to address the growing concern of work-life balance and data compliance, as approximately 72% of professionals expressed reservations about using personal apps for work. The software is developed and hosted within the European Union, positioning itself as a privacy-focused European alternative to global tech giants. BirdyChat is operated by Fyello Productivity SIA and has successfully secured funding from prominent European venture capital firms and angel investors to expand its services across the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and beyond.
