Is something important getting lost among the messages again? How Worksection 2.0 solves team communication issues.

Today, a lion’s share of work­ing hours goes into just cop­ing with noti­fi­ca­tions in mes­sen­gers. You sit down in the morn­ing to work on an impor­tant task, but with­in ten min­utes you catch your­self end­less­ly scrolling through chats, reply­ing to emails, and try­ing to remem­ber what you were even start­ing with.
Accord­ing to the Microsoft Work Trend Index 2025, employ­ees receive an aver­age of 275 noti­fi­ca­tions per day. This means we are inter­rupt­ed approx­i­mate­ly every two min­utes. Because of this pace, more than half of teams describe their work as chaot­ic, and 80% of peo­ple admit that by the end of the day they sim­ply lack the ener­gy for the main tasks.
The result is clear – the team com­mu­ni­cates a lot, but inef­fec­tive­ly. Dis­cus­sions are detached from nec­es­sary tasks, impor­tant con­text is lost, and respon­si­ble par­ties are nev­er assigned.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, we decid­ed to build com­mu­ni­ca­tion dif­fer­ent­ly. It stays right where the work hap­pens, that is, direct­ly in tasks and projects. The built-in mes­sen­ger, updat­ed com­ment feed with an AI sum­ma­ry, smart noti­fi­ca­tions, and the bot­tom pan­el of open tabs help con­sol­i­date con­ver­sa­tions into a sin­gle struc­ture that sum­ma­rizes what’s important.

Main prob­lems in team communication


Agree­ments remain in mes­sen­gers, not in tasks – when ques­tions are resolved in Telegram, Slack, or Viber, they are not tied to the task man­ag­er. You exchanged mes­sages in a chat, agreed on some­thing, but did not record it in the task itself. A week lat­er, no one remem­bers the details.

It’s hard to dis­cern the main point in com­ments – even when com­mu­ni­ca­tion is strict­ly to the point, a long chain of mes­sages com­pli­cates work. The impor­tant final the­sis is lost among dozens of inter­me­di­ate thoughts, and some­one from the team will inevitably miss a nec­es­sary update.

Noti­fi­ca­tions either dis­tract or are ignored – it’s hard to find bal­ance because when there are many chats, you either get dis­tract­ed by new mes­sages every minute or turn off noti­fi­ca­tions entire­ly and risk miss­ing some­thing tru­ly critical.

Con­stant­ly switch­ing between win­dows eats away focus – you read the task descrip­tion, then switch to chat to clar­i­fy a detail, come back and try to remem­ber where you left off.

How Work­sec­tion 2.0 builds com­mu­ni­ca­tion in the con­text of work?

The main secret of calm team­work is not to run between dif­fer­ent pro­grams for sim­ple dis­cus­sions about a task. Com­mu­ni­ca­tion should hap­pen where the work is done.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, we made it so that dis­cus­sions, files, and final deci­sions are always tied to spe­cif­ic tasks. Noth­ing gets lost in the gen­er­al flow of mes­sages, and you no longer have to repeat­ed­ly recount con­text to colleagues.

Built-in mes­sen­ger

As usu­al­ly hap­pens… You search for the task descrip­tion in the task man­ag­er, switch to the mes­sen­ger to dis­cuss a detail with a col­league, send a file, and return back. You con­stant­ly jump between win­dows, lose focus, and after a month, find­ing the end of some agree­ment or the nec­es­sary link becomes very complicated.

To stop this tab-hop­ping, in Work­sec­tion 2.0 we sim­ply embed­ded the mes­sen­ger direct­ly into the sys­tem. Now tasks, dis­cus­sions, and doc­u­ments are all gath­ered in one place. Any dia­logue or sent file auto­mat­i­cal­ly stays where the work is hap­pen­ing, so scrolling through old chat his­to­ry in third-par­ty pro­grams is no longer necessary.

For dif­fer­ent sit­u­a­tions, there are spe­cif­ic for­mats here: 
  • You can quick­ly mes­sage a col­league in a pri­vate chat
  • Gath­er the team in a group chat
  • Resolve ques­tions in the project-spe­cif­ic chat
All com­mu­ni­ca­tions remain with­in the work process, rather than spread­ing across dif­fer­ent services.

Updat­ed com­ment feed

When a task accu­mu­lates around 50 com­ments, find­ing any­thing rel­e­vant can be tricky, if not extreme­ly stress­ful. Work dis­cus­sions usu­al­ly get mixed up with auto­mat­ic sys­tem noti­fi­ca­tions, dead­line changes, attached files, and ordi­nary emo­jis. To find the need­ed quote, you often have to scroll up the screen for a long time.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, we divid­ed the com­ment feed into con­ve­nient tabs so you can fil­ter out what you don’t need. Now you can view only clean con­ver­sa­tions from col­leagues, or con­verse­ly, open only the his­to­ry of actions and changes in the task, to check who and when changed the dead­line or sta­tus. This helps nav­i­gate the sit­u­a­tion with­out hav­ing to read through the entire chain of messages.

We also added a few handy fea­tures that sim­pli­fy dai­ly rou­tines. For instance, instead of writ­ten respons­es, you can sim­ply use a quick reac­tion emo­ji. Any com­ment can now be eas­i­ly edit­ed, and if a great new idea aris­es dur­ing the dis­cus­sion – it can be con­vert­ed into a sep­a­rate task direct­ly from the com­ment feed.

AI for those who don’t want to read through hun­dreds of messages

You got dis­tract­ed by anoth­er task or returned from vaca­tion, and dozens of new com­ments have piled up in the work task. How do you get back up to speed? Read through this long read just to under­stand what your col­leagues agreed on? No – that’s long and tedious.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, we added arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence that takes care of this rou­tine. If a task has accu­mu­lat­ed a lot of mes­sages, the sys­tem can pro­vide a brief sum­ma­ry of the most impor­tant points.

And when you need to find an old solu­tion or some past agree­ment, there’s no need to remem­ber the exact phras­es. You can sim­ply phrase your query in your own words, like in a reg­u­lar con­ver­sa­tion. The AI search­es every­thing by mean­ing, so it will quick­ly find the nec­es­sary task or com­ment, even if you for­got the spe­cif­ic terms.

Smart noti­fi­ca­tions

And fur­ther con­tra­dic­tions. If you turn on every­thing at once – your phone will blow up with every com­ment from col­leagues, and you sim­ply won’t be able to focus on your tasks. If you turn off the sound com­plete­ly – there’s a big risk of miss­ing an urgent mes­sage from a client or an update on a project.

We found a con­ve­nient solu­tion here too, mak­ing the noti­fi­ca­tion sys­tem flex­i­ble so you can ful­ly cus­tomize it to your needs.

You can set it to see only what direct­ly affects your work, such as sta­tus changes in your tasks, approach­ing dead­lines, or com­ments where you were specif­i­cal­ly mentioned.

At the same time, you also choose the for­mat for your­self. It can be quick push noti­fi­ca­tions on your phone, an email digest in the morn­ing, or just inter­nal noti­fi­ca­tions in the appli­ca­tion itself. You stay informed about main events while keep­ing focus on cur­rent tasks.

Bot­tom tab panel

Inter­net memes about a hun­dred open tabs in a brows­er didn’t just appear. For many, this is a harsh work­ing reality…

How does it usu­al­ly hap­pen when there are a bunch of hot” tasks around?
You open one task to write a text. Then you switch to chat to ask for details. While wait­ing for a response, you remem­ber anoth­er task, go there, change some­thing. After five min­utes, you final­ly receive a reply – you return back, but you no longer remem­ber what sen­tence you stopped at in the first task.

As a result, the brows­er fills up with tabs, and you sim­ply waste a lot of ener­gy just try­ing to remem­ber something. 

How does it work in Worksection?
We thought that work should not turn into a game of tabs, so we brought all impor­tant ele­ments to the bot­tom pan­el. Now, the tasks you are han­dling today can be eas­i­ly viewed at the bot­tom of the screen, like apps on your phone or icons on your computer.

Writ­ing a task descrip­tion – the chat blinks at the bot­tom – you click, send a file or respond – you return exact­ly to where you were writ­ing the task description.


Com­mu­ni­ca­tion should help, not hinder

Stop sep­a­rat­ing work and dis­cus­sions about it – it’s the sim­plest way to exhale and regain your con­cen­tra­tion. There’s no point in cre­at­ing chats in third-par­ty mes­sen­gers if you can dis­cuss a lay­out or task descrip­tion right in the task card, react with an emo­ji, and make a new task from a great idea in the comments.

We added these func­tions in Work­sec­tion 2.0 pre­cise­ly to free you from excess and make your thoughts a bit clear­er. Because when every­thing is gath­ered in one con­text, work moves sev­er­al times faster.
