When creating groups, chat isn't always enough. We want each group to be tailored to our exact needs. Emilon makes that happen. Creating a group is easy. You can invite people to join or keep it for yourself. It's just like any chat app. Simple as pie. Once you have your group, you can add widgets to it. Widgets are like little apps. They could be a calendar, a task manager, a photo gallery, or anything else. You can add as many as you like for anything you need in your group. Your mobile phone is essential but you want to have access on your desktop as well. Groups can be used for fun with some friends, or a tool for work. Either way, you have all the widgets you need to make the most out of them.
