GudChat
GudChat is a browser-based real-time communication platform designed for low-latency video and audio streaming. It uses a custom WebSocket-driven media pipeline and WebAssembly-based codecs to provide controllable latency, bandwidth efficiency, and full server-side media control.
Key features
- Custom WebSocket-based media pipeline
- WebAssembly audio/video codecs (VP8 / Opus)
- Designed for low-bandwidth environments
- Full server-side control over media processing
Target use cases
GudChat is intended for specialized communication scenarios where standard WebRTC-based solutions may not provide sufficient control, predictability, or infrastructure flexibility.
About the project
GudChat is an independent technology product currently in active development, focused on building high-performance real-time communication infrastructure for browser-based applications.
Built on Google Cloud Infrastructure to ensure global scalability and low-latency performance.

Digital-native Business Model
GudChat is built as a digital-native communication platform that runs entirely in the browser and is delivered through cloud infrastructure. Users can access messaging, audio, and video communication without installing software.
The platform is designed to evolve into a scalable service supporting real-time communication for individuals, teams, and web applications, with potential offerings including hosted communication services and specialized communication infrastructure.
Working prototype
There's a publicly available prototype that currently implements the described technology. It's currently undergoing active development.
It's a basic messenger that can send and receive text messages and supports video and audio communication. It also supports push notifications, audio messaging, and file sharing.
