Where it runs

A browser, a phone, or inside your own application

There is no app to deploy and no device to enrol. If someone has a browser and an IFS account, they can use it — which is the entire point for people who touch IFS twice a month.

Where does NgageChat run?

NgageChat runs in any modern browser, including on a phone, so there is no app to install. It can also be embedded inside another application using a signed handoff token, and the whole deployment can be self-hosted in your own cloud so IFS traffic never leaves your environment.

Available

In the browser

The full experience: conversation history, tool traces you can expand, charts, attachments and the confirmation step. Nothing to install for anyone who already has a browser and an IFS account.

Available

On a phone

The same browser experience, sized for a phone. This is where fault reports and HSE incidents actually get created — standing in front of the problem, not back at the depot.

Available

Embedded in another app

A host application opens NgageChat with a signed handoff token, which is exchanged for a scoped session. Used today by NgageFlow to open a conversation inside its own interface.

Available

In your own cloud

Self-host so IFS traffic never leaves your environment, with the model provider and region configured per deployment. Or let EX10 run it and keep your side simple.

Honesty about the edges

What NgageChat is not

Being clear about this saves everyone a wasted evaluation, and the right answer usually exists elsewhere in the suite.

Not a Teams or Slack bot

NgageChat runs in the browser and embedded. Pushing IFS events into a chat channel is a different job — event-driven and unattended — and that is what NgageFlow does.

IFS alerts in Teams and Slack

Not offline-capable

Every answer is read live from IFS, which needs connectivity. For structured capture that works with no signal and syncs later, NgageEase is the frontline product.

Offline-first IFS forms

Not a reporting platform

Ask an ad-hoc question and get a table or a chart. When a recurring answer deserves a permanent, shareable, scheduled home, build it as a real report.

Custom IFS reports

Not an unattended agent

NgageChat is human-initiated and single-step by design: you ask, it acts, you confirm. Multi-step processes that run on a schedule or a trigger belong in a workflow product.

FAQ

Deployment questions

Is there an app to install?
No. NgageChat runs in a browser, including a mobile browser, so a technician or supervisor can use it from a phone without an app store, an MDM push or a device enrolment.
Does it work offline?
No, and that is deliberate rather than an oversight. Every answer is read live from IFS at the moment you ask, which requires connectivity. For genuinely offline capture — a form completed in a basement and synced later — NgageEase is the product in the suite built for that.
Can we put it inside another application?
Yes. NgageChat supports an embedded mode where a host application opens it with a signed handoff token, exchanging that for a scoped session. NgageFlow uses this today to open NgageChat inside its own interface.
Is it available in Microsoft Teams or Slack?
Not today. NgageChat runs in the browser and in embedded mode. Pushing IFS events into Teams or Slack is NgageFlow’s job in the suite, and we would rather tell you that than imply a channel we do not ship.
Can we self-host it?
Yes. Run NgageChat in your own cloud so IFS traffic never leaves your boundary, or have EX10 host it. Either way nothing is installed inside IFS itself.
Does it support multiple IFS environments?
Each tenant is bound to its IFS host, so separate environments — production and test, or multiple operating companies — are kept apart rather than blended into one conversation surface.
