Hello Product Hunt! ๐
Meet Zenchat, a chat app with built-in task management functions to enable holistic collaboration in teams.
Now, you may be thinking, another chat app? Seriously? ๐ค Hear me out:
People love to chat. Itโs human nature. But chat apps donโt provide the structure needed for sustainable productivity like lists and Kanban boards do.
Think about itโฆ how many of your chat messages are actually tasks? or reminders? or appointments? How many of your chats contain knowledge that belongs to a certain topic, client, or task?
So we have a problem: You donโt want to leave your chat, but you have to in order to track your work. But when you use an external app to manage tasks, you lose all the valuable commentary and feedback related to that task becauseโletโs face itโyouโd always rather have a quick chat about something than use the comment function in a task app.
With Zenchat we aim to solve that problem by meeting people where they are. Youโre already chatting all day anyway, so we thought, why not make it easy to structure tasks that come up while youโre talking?
Zenchat is the first chat app designed to keep teams in their flow:
โ Quickly turn any message into a task & assign or edit within your chat. Never switch apps for routine task management again.
๐ฌ Get in the habit of directly chatting about tasks so valuable information stays where it belongs.
โจ Optionally see chats related to all tasks in a project, or choose to focus only on your tasks.
๐ Optionally connect to the Zenkit Universe to see your tasks in advanced views like Kanban, Gantt, to do list apps, and vice versa!
๐ฆ Zenchat is enterprise-ready: SSO, SCIM provisioning, admin tools, identity management & more.
๐ค Zenchat is free forever with an optional paid plan.

Why does 99% of posts here sound like a pyramid scheme? I have already seen Zenkit asking for users for their "reviews" but some of them here are just copy-paste badly written cringeworthy one-liners. Same thing is with Alternativeto. Sorry guys I really like Zenkit but buggy and jumpy interface threw me to other apps. And this kind of "community" is not a good look.
In my team, we've been using Zenkit for 35 sprints already. We have had many cases where tasks were discussed in Slack but not directly transferred to Zenkit. A lot of information got lost and there was too much friction between both worlds. I am very grateful that Zenchat now aims to solve exactly this problem.
Creating tasks from messages and being able to see all messages related to a task feels totally right to me. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!
@jonas_wi Thanks so much Jonas!! So glad that you're already seeing some benefit from Zenchat. We'd love to hear more about your experiences once you've spent some more time with it ๐ค
We've been using Zenkit for our task management for over a year already and the Chat is definitely another huge upgrade. It integrates perfectly into our SCRUM work flows and saves a ton of time and nerves switching back and forth between Zenkit and Slack. Great job, guys! Keep up the amazing work. ๐ค
@einkoenig Hey Jan! Thank you! Yes exactly, it should be able to replace tools like Slack or MS Teams within companies. The idea is that you'll no longer need to use multiple apps, and integrate them (or copy and paste to different apps), you will be able to do it all with Zenchat ๐
