About Sharko
An assistant that doesn’t need an app
We’re building Sharko for companies where people work with their hands and their phones, not at a computer. For them the best interface is the one that’s already open: the messaging app.
Where the idea came from
They bought a tracker. Nobody opens it.
We’ve heard this story many times. A company buys a task tracker, the manager enters the tasks, and a month later the manager is the only one left in the system. Then they try an app of their own — and the same thing happens.
It’s not the people and it’s not the trackers. A shop assistant, a cook or a site foreman simply has no reason to open one more program. But they open their messaging app on their own, a hundred times a day.
We first built an assistant like this for one company: the director started assigning tasks by voice message, and they stopped getting lost. Sharko is the same approach, turned into a product for everyone.
The name
Sharko — a shark in business
A shark never lets go of its prey. That is the kind of assistant we wanted: it doesn’t let a task get lost and sees it through to “done”.
Each company names its assistant itself: Sharko by default, or any name your team likes. It remembers who was asked to do what and by when, whatever you call it.
How we work
Three rules
Nothing extra
If there’s something an employee can skip, they shouldn’t have to do it. No installs, no passwords, no training.
Honest about limits
We say plainly what Sharko can’t do, what is still in progress and what risks the channels carry.
A person decides
Sharko counts and reminds. Rules, bonuses and decisions about people stay with the manager.
Where we are now
A pilot with our first companies
Sharko is a young product from Kazakhstan. Right now we’re onboarding our first companies by hand and refining tasks, reports and points together with them.
Next on the plan: expenses from a photo, approvals and clocking in at work. Pilot participants will tell us which to build first.
