Twist Overview

What is Twist?

Teamwork tools like email and group-chat are disorganized, dysfunctional and distracting. Twist is a team communication app that fosters mindful communication and gives modern teams a central place to grow their knowledge base and have organized, on-topic conversations that are accessible to everyone. Twist gives teams the space to fully discuss complex ideas and projects from start to finish without making people feel like they're missing out if they don't respond immediately.

Description

At Doist, we specialize in productivity software. We create tools that simplify and organize the workday. It's a modest goal, but an important one. When software tames the chaos and streamlines the little things, it frees you to focus on the big things. Things that amaze. Things that inspire. Things that change the world.

We're a productive, virtual team that makes productivity tools. We are designers, engineers, and communicators united by a common goal, not a common location.

We understand the tools our customers need to succeed in today's workplace, because we need them, too. We build them, share them, and use them to power new ideas, new improvements, and new ways of working.

It's how we've accomplished amazing things, and it's how we help our customers do the same.

Doist's mission is to help people do more each day so they can make the most of their potential.

What do you like best about Twist?

The way we can create topics within channels. This allows us to have an organization in project conversations. Each topic has its own objective and can be closed when solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twist?

At the same time is awesome to have topics in channels, I miss the informal conversation that we can have using WhatsApp or even slack. I think some mix of the two possibilities would give us more flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Twist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Asynchronous and structured conversations. The main benefit is to have a place to go when we want to share data, information and everything about the project (not tasks, but conversation) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Twist solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's usually quite hard to maintain clear conversations when you communicate with your colleagues via chat. With Twist, I can keep up with all of the conversations. In some projects, I'll share as many as twenty - thirty separate chat threads with just a single colleague. Twist let's me keep that all organized and easily retrievable.
