For many teams Telegram is the office. Ideas, deadlines, tasks and quick voice-message meetings all happen there. The trouble starts when the work grows beyond a couple of tasks and agreements begin to sink into the chat:

– "Did you do the task we talked about last week?"

– "Which one?.."

– "The one after we discussed the logo!"

At this stage it's too early for a full tracker, but a plain chat is no longer enough. You need something in between, and it can live inside Telegram.

Why a regular tracker doesn't always fit

Trello, Notion and Jira are good tools, but for a small team that already lives in a messenger they bring their own costs:

  • They take time to roll out. Everyone has a different background, and someone always needs a walkthrough.
  • You switch constantly between the chat and the tracker, and what isn't in the same window drops out of the flow.
  • You have to manage logins, passwords and permissions.

Turning the chat into a task list

iTasker is a Telegram bot with a mini app. Add it to a group and link the group to a project, and the chat becomes a source of tasks:

  • Reply to a message with /new, and it becomes a task in the project. The task keeps the context it came from.
  • Assign a task to a colleague. In the command you can mention a project member, and it's worth checking the assignee field in the card afterwards.
  • Set a due date, a reminder or a recurrence.
  • Sort tasks by projects, tags and statuses, and see them on a board in the mini app or in the web version.
  • Look at completion statistics in the web version.

An example

You write in the group chat:

/new @vasya Build the landing page by Friday

The task appears in the project with a due date, a status and, if the name matched a project member, an assignee. It's visible in the mini app, and the bot reports in the chat when it is created and completed.

Who it suits

  • Small and medium teams and startups that discuss everything in chats.
  • Designers and developers who agree on work in messages and voice notes.
  • Freelancers who work with contractors and assistants.
  • Anyone who is tired of writing "did you do…?".

The team stays in Telegram and doesn't need a new system or extra logins, and each agreement ends up as a task with an owner and a date.
