Hello Product Hunt! 👋
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? 🤔 Hear me out:
People love to chat. It’s human nature. But chat apps don’t provide the structure needed for sustainable productivity like lists and Kanban boards do.
Think about it… 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 don’t 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 because—let’s face it—you’d 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. You’re already chatting all day anyway, so we thought, why not make it easy to structure tasks that come up while you’re talking?
Zenchat is the first chat app designed to keep teams in their flow:
✅ Quickly turn any message into a task & assign or edit within your chat. Never switch apps for routine task management again.
💬 Get in the habit of directly chatting about tasks so valuable information stays where it belongs.
✨ Optionally see chats related to all tasks in a project, or choose to focus only on your tasks.
🌌 Optionally connect to the Zenkit Universe to see your tasks in advanced views like Kanban, Gantt, to do list apps, and vice versa!
🏦 Zenchat is enterprise-ready: SSO, SCIM provisioning, admin tools, identity management & more.
🤑 Zenchat is free forever with an optional paid plan.

This looks like the the kind of tool we're after, a combination of Slack and Trello it seems? My big question, if I list some actions to be completed in a chat window, are they stored elsewhere on a task management page of some sort, or solely in the chat window at the time they were posted?
@cian_mccarthy Hi Cian! Yes pretty much Slack + Trello, although if you use the app alone it's more like Slack + Wunderlist. Tasks that are completed are still available in the chat - click the "Done" to view them. If you want to view it in a task management-specific spot, all Zenkit products work together so you could view the chat tasks in our other apps To Do and Base (for Kanban, more advanced to-do lists, mindmaps, etc).
We've been using Zenkit in our team, our team leader introduced it to us and everything took a whole new turn into organization 🕺🏽 We're very excited to try Zenchat as it will massively simplify our communication 🤩 Keep up the impressive work Zenkit 🤍
@nabilamedhat@siororke We are working on designing RC aircraft to join a worldwide collegiate competition ✈ The app is a massive help and very user friendly 🤍
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 🤓
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. 🤓
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.
What i love molstly in Zenkit is the flexibity. Inside our team, anyone can use the best view for the different kind of activity or moments. Very very useful!
An incredibly useful addition to the Zenkit family!👌 Zenchat's interface is aesthetic and intuitive, and it also brings great value, improving communication capabilities with the team on certain tasks. 🔝
having a single app that combines chatting and managing tasks at the same time is such an effective way to stay on track ..... this app provides a great opportunity for teams to keep their work together in one place ... AMAZING
