A joint venture of Vaylo Studios and AEDELRIC Studios
Spaces, rooms, voice and presence.People belong here.
Sazlo is a realtime community platform on the web, desktop, iOS and Android, with the phone apps coming soon to the App Store and Google Play. Not a reskin and not a clone: built from a Rust core up.

A space is a community.Rooms are where it talks.
Text rooms, forums with solved posts, voice rooms you drop into and stages with an audience, grouped into sections. New members accept the rules before they post. Coming back after a while, Catch Up shows what moved.
Presence is live and private by choice: who is in voice, who is around, and nothing more than each person decides to show. Names are synthetic here. Every behavior is built.

Everything a community needs, built in instead of bolted on.
Spaces and rooms
Text, voice, stage, forum and media rooms in sections, folders and sides. Roles with over 50 permissions, and an access check that shows the exact steps behind any yes or no.
Voice, video and stages
Voice rooms you drop into, video and screen share, stages with speakers and an audience, soundboards, activities in calls, and direct calls that ring on the phone’s own call screen.
Messaging
Threads, forums, polls, docs, voice messages, scheduled sends, search with filters, an inbox across every space, and end-to-end encrypted direct conversations.
Home and Discover
Every space gets a Home: blocks, or a fully custom page in a sandbox. Discover lists public spaces by topic, and public pages are readable without an account.
Moving in
Import a Discord or Slack space with its rooms, roles and history, or bridge a live Discord server both ways per room while a community moves over.
Bots without code
Rule-based bots from 23 templates, a workflow view, typed commands, forms and modals, plus a reviewed app directory and a bot API for teams who do write code.
Community tools
Events with per-date answers and waitlists, forms, courses with quizzes, tournaments with brackets, tasks, projects and private-by-design insights, all built in.
Safety that is never paywalled
Safety limits that stop a rogue admin or bot mid-wipe, raid protection, AutoMod, on-device media checks, two-step sign in for moderators and an audit log of everything.
A Rust core,and one source of truth.
A modular monolith API in Rust owns every durable record. A separate WebSocket gateway owns sessions, presence and voice state. Web, desktop and phone apps are clients of the same public API, the same one developers and the command line use.
One protocol, defined once
Every frame and event is defined in Rust. The TypeScript the clients use is generated from it, never written by hand, so the server and every app agree by construction.
Durable and ephemeral, kept apart
Messages, roles, permissions and audit records live in Postgres. Presence, typing and voice state never touch it. They live in the gateway, where they belong.
Permissions as a pure function
Role and room overrides resolve in a pure Rust crate with no database access, which is what lets Sazlo explain any decision step by step instead of guessing.
Fan-out over NATS JetStream
The API owns state and publishes events. The WebSocket gateway reads them with an ordered consumer and fans them out to every session, with resume after a drop.
Media on LiveKit
Voice and video run on LiveKit with grants signed by the API, so who can speak, share or watch is decided by the same permissions as everything else.
Privacy as a default
Insights never name a person and withhold counts under five. Translation is never stored. AI runs only with a space’s own key, and only when the space turns it on.

Two studios.One platform.
Sazlo is a joint venture of Vaylo Studios and AEDELRIC Studios, built and run together. It is not a client project and not a product with a credit line.
Prove what is necessary, not who you are. Normal use never needs a legal name, a government ID or a face scan. Stronger age checks happen only where the law or an age-gated space requires one, and safety tools stay free for every space.
Bring your people.
Free to join and free to run a space. Move a community in from Discord or Slack, or start a new one.
