Tasks & Delegation

Manage tasks and your whole team — over WhatsApp.

Assign work in a WhatsApp message and Janiva chases it to done — no app for your team to install. Underneath the chat is a full task system: projects with milestones and dependencies, board / calendar / workload views, recurring tasks, templates, automations, and a real weekly accountability rhythm.

The problem

Work you delegate slips through the cracks, your team won't adopt yet another app, and you become the human follow-up machine — re-asking 'is it done?' all day.

What you get

Delegate on WhatsApp

Assign a task in one message. The doer gets it on WhatsApp, replies to accept, update or complete — no login, no app.

A doer bot that pulls work

Your team messages 'today', 'week', 'projects' or 'notifications' and the bot replies with exactly their tasks — deterministic, no AI guesswork.

Projects, milestones & dependencies

Group work into projects with members, milestones, blocked-by dependencies and a timeline so big deliverables stay on track.

Templates & checklists

Save repeatable workflows as templates and spin up a full task set in a tap — onboarding, monthly close, content calendars.

Recurring tasks & weekly planner

Daily/weekly/monthly recurring tasks and a weekly planner keep routine ops from being forgotten.

Automations

'When X, do Y' rules move tasks, assign owners and trigger follow-ups automatically.

Workload & reassign

See each person's load at a glance and rebalance with a drag — nobody silently drowns.

Accountability & RAG performance

Weekly planned-vs-actual commitments plus a Green / Yellow / Red status per person, with a team leaderboard and 52-week history.

Work your way

Every view your team needs — switch in a tap.

Board

Drag-and-drop stages — To do → Doing → Done — with priorities and tags.

Calendar

Day, week, month and custom-range views of everything due.

Workload

Per-person capacity charts; spot overload and reassign instantly.

Timeline

Project milestones and dependencies on a timeline for delivery planning.

FAQ

Do my team need an account or app?

No. Doers interact entirely over WhatsApp — accept, update and complete tasks in chat. Managers use the dashboard.

Can tasks repeat automatically?

Yes — daily/weekly/monthly recurring tasks plus a weekly planner keep routine work on track.

How is this different from a to-do app?

It's WhatsApp-native (zero adoption friction) and pairs task management with a real accountability methodology — weekly commitments and RAG performance, not just a checklist.

Can I see who's overloaded?

Yes — the workload view shows each person's capacity so you can rebalance before things slip.

Does it handle projects, not just tasks?

Yes — projects with members, milestones, dependencies and a timeline, alongside standalone tasks.
