Comparison
Sharko or a plain group chat
A WhatsApp work group is great for saying things. But it has a poor memory: who was told, by when, and whether they did it. Sharko gives the chat a memory and clear owners.
Point by point
What changes
| Group chat without Sharko | Group chat with Sharko | |
|---|---|---|
| A task | One message among forty others | A task with an assignee, a deadline and a priority |
| Who’s responsible | “Guys, this needs doing” — which means nobody | One assignee for every task |
| Deadline | “By the end of the week,” which everyone read their own way | A date and a time that Sharko will remind people about |
| Reminders | The manager writes it personally: “so, how’s it going?” | Sharko reminds the day before, on the due date and after it |
| “I didn’t see it” | Impossible to check | You can see the message was delivered and read |
| What was decided yesterday | Scroll up through the chat | “Sharko, recap yesterday” — decisions and tasks as a list |
| Report | Calling around or asking in the chat | Arrives on its own in the evening |
Nothing breaks
The group chat stays a group chat
Sharko doesn’t ask anyone to move to another app or change their habits. People write in the same chat, in the same words.
The difference is one phrase: when a task comes up, someone says “Sharko, assign…” — and the words get an assignee and a deadline.
Questions
What people ask about group chats
Won’t it flood the chat with messages?
No. Sharko replies only when someone addresses it. It sends reminders and tasks to assignees in direct messages, not in the group chat.
Do we need to create a new group?
No. Add Sharko to the one you already have.
What if our group chat already works fine?
Here’s a simple test: think of three tasks from last week and say who completed them and when. If you have the answer, you may not need Sharko.
