Chat application

**Grove.io** was originally Convore, a real-time chat web application created by co-founders [Eric Florenzano](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eric_Florenzano&action=edit&redlink=1), [Leah Culver](/source/Leah_Culver), and Eric Maguire.[1]

*[PC World](/source/PC_World_(magazine))* said "It works as a [news aggregate](/source/News_aggregator) as well as a question/answer forum for its myriad of topics";[2] according to *[MIT Technology Review](/source/MIT_Technology_Review)*, it had "the polish and responsiveness that most new sites of its ilk lack."[3]

In January 2012, Convore pivoted into Grove.io, with a focus on providing services for businesses, and touting as a core feature that it was based on IRC.[4] The imminent closure of the Convore service was announced on their own website and on Twitter in February.[5][6]

In October 2016, Grove.io announced that they were closing down, and recommended users to use Slack as a replacement.[7]
