Why teams leave Todoist
Zero messaging features
Todoist has task comments but no real-time chat. Quick questions and team discussions all require switching to Slack.
Personal tool forced into team use
Todoist was built for individual productivity. Shared projects feel tacked on, with no real-time collaboration or presence.
No video or meeting features
Todoist has no calls. Team standups, planning sessions, and retrospectives all need a separate video tool.

How Trilo helps
Tasks and Chat in One Workspace
Todoist teams create tasks, then switch to Slack to discuss them, then switch back to update status. Trilo puts real-time chat alongside your kanban boards. Ask a question about a task or make a decision without leaving your project workspace.
Built for Teams From the Start
Todoist started as a personal app and added team features later. Trilo was built for team collaboration from day one: real-time presence, threaded discussions, shared project views, and AI coworkers.
AI That Connects Chat and Tasks
Todoist AI suggests due dates. Trilo AI coworkers turn chat decisions into tasks, transcribe planning calls and create action items, and keep your team aligned across conversations and project boards.
