TODOX: Tasks Right in Your Chat

Your team agreed to "definitely finish this by Friday", and three days later nobody remembers who owned what. The message sank under a hundred others. TODOX targets exactly that: it turns a group chat into a to-do list where tasks are created, assigned and tracked right inside Telegram. ✅

The task lives where it is discussed

Teams usually talk about work in a messenger and record it in a separate tracker. Information drifts apart and some tasks get lost. TODOX closes that gap: the task list sits in the same chat where the conversation happens.

You don't need to hop between apps or ask colleagues to open an account in yet another service. Adding the bot to the group is enough.

Three commands to get going

• /add. Creates a new task.
• /list. Shows all tasks in the current project.
• /pin. Pins the task list in the chat so it stays in view.

A pinned list is especially useful in big groups. A newcomer opens the chat and sees at once what is in progress. 📌

Setting up order in your group

1. Add the bot. Invite TODOX to the group's working chat.
2. Create the first task. Use /add with a short wording of the action.
3. Assign an owner. Every task needs one person who answers for it.
4. Pin the list. The /pin command keeps the list in front of everyone.
5. Review weekly. Go through the list, close what is done and drop what is no longer needed.

A good task versus a bad one

A task manager is only as useful as the tasks written in it. "Sort out the website" says nothing. "Update the homepage photo by Wednesday" gives a goal and a deadline.

Start with a verb, add the result and a date. And don't let the list grow forever: five live tasks beat fifty forgotten ones. 🎯

Priorities without bureaucracy

When there are many tasks, pick the three that matter most at the start of the week and place them above the rest. The others can wait. A simple order like this saves more nerves than complex systems with dozens of fields and statuses.

Let each member glance at the list once a day and answer one question: what will I do today? 🗓

Places where a bot like this fits

• Work groups. Handing out assignments in a small team.
• Study. Group projects and exam preparation.
• Family and home. Shopping lists, repair chores, trips.
• Communities. Event organizers and volunteers with many small jobs.

Think about this before rolling it out

A bot sees what is written in the group, so add it only to chats where you are comfortable with that. Never put passwords or payment details into tasks.

Agree on rules with your team: who creates tasks, how they are closed and where the discussion happens. Without agreements any tool turns into a dumping ground. If the team already uses another system, don't duplicate tasks in two places. 🧭
