A deeper look at the features that matter.
One App Instead of Six Google Products
Google Chat, Meet, Docs, Sheets, Calendar, and Tasks are all separate applications that open in separate browser tabs. Trilo puts chat, video, docs, spreadsheets, calendar, and tasks in a single interface where everything connects without tab switching.
AI Coworkers vs Gemini Suggestions
Google's Gemini add-on costs $30 per user and offers AI suggestions within individual Google apps. Trilo's AI coworkers are autonomous agents that work across your entire workspace: joining conversations, transcribing meetings, creating tasks, and managing projects.
Real Project Management
Google Tasks is a simple checklist. Trilo gives you kanban boards, time tracking, multiple project views, dependencies, and a full calendar with booking links. Your projects get structure, not just a to-do list.
