We're building a simple app that lets you automatically extract and manage to-do tickets right from your team's conversations.
I'm building this because my team and I constantly face a problem: actionable items get lost in the stream of our chat app (Slack, Teams, etc.), or we waste time manually moving them to a separate task manager like Jira or Notion. This manual copy-pasting is our biggest friction. When you move a task, you lose the original context of
why that task was created in the first place.
This context-switching kills our productivity.
Our solution makes this process seamless. Here’s how it works:
You chat with your team, yourself, or an integrated AI assistant.
The AI understands the dialogue (e.g., "Could you fix the deployment bug by Friday?") and automatically suggests creating a to-do ticket from that message.
Of course, you can also manually turn any message into a ticket with a single click.
Each ticket is intrinsically linked to the conversation thread, so the full context is always preserved. These tickets can then be managed on a Kanban board or a calendar without ever leaving the app.
Essentially, our goal is to eliminate the 'collaboration tax' by merging the place of discussion with the place of action.
My questions for HN are:
Would you or your team use a tool like this?
What are your biggest frustrations with your current chat + task management workflow?
Does the "automatic task extraction" sound genuinely useful, or does it feel like a gimmick that might get annoying?
For this to be a "must-have" product for you, what feature would it absolutely need to get right?
