A task manager that lives in WhatsApp
Employees don’t install apps or learn an interface. They message Sharko the way they message each other: by text, voice or photo.
Why WhatsApp
Because it’s already open
Everyone has it
No need to talk anyone into installing one more app and remembering a password.
Voice messages
A task in seven seconds, on the go. Sharko transcribes it and writes up the task itself.
Work group chats
You already have them. Sharko joins and catches tasks as they come up in conversation.
Delivered and read
You can see whether the task reached the person. “I didn’t see it” stops being an answer.
Getting connected
Four steps, one day
A separate number
Get Sharko a number of its own. Not the one your customers write to.
Connecting
You link the number to Sharko — it takes a few minutes.
Employees
Each person saves Sharko’s number and sends it a “hi”. It introduces itself and asks for consent.
Groups
Add Sharko to the work chats where tasks usually get handed out.
A separate number
Why not your company’s main number
Your main number carries your conversations with customers. A task assistant doesn’t need them, and you don’t need them passing through one more service.
A separate number is also clearer for employees: Sharko has its own name and its own profile picture, so nobody mistakes it for the sales team.
Being honest about WhatsApp
Sharko is an independent service and not a WhatsApp product, so we give no guarantees for this channel. If the number gets blocked, your tasks and history don’t go anywhere: they are stored with Sharko. You connect another number or carry on in Telegram, and work continues.
Questions
Questions about WhatsApp
Do we need WhatsApp Business?
No, regular WhatsApp on a separate number is fine.
Does Sharko message employees first?
Yes — when they are assigned a task or a deadline is coming up. But first each employee writes to it and gives consent: that’s how it knows the number is right and the person is ready to work with it.
Does it read my personal chats?
No. The separate number only has the conversations with Sharko and the groups you’ve added it to.
What if an employee doesn’t have WhatsApp?
They can work with Sharko in Telegram. The tasks are shared; everyone chooses their own channel.
