Comparison
Flotick vs Slack
These solve different problems. Slack is where your team talks. Flotick is where the decisions from that conversation become an owned task with a deadline — instead of a message that scrolls away.

The real question
“We assigned it in Slack” is not a task system
Where Slack is genuinely better
Fast, informal, real-time conversation across an entire company. Nothing beats Slack for a quick question or a company-wide announcement — Flotick doesn't try to be a chat app.
Where Slack falls short
A task "assigned" in a DM has no owner field, no due date, and no status — it survives only as long as someone remembers to scroll back. Flotick turns that same decision into a task with an owner, a deadline, and a status that's visible to the whole team without anyone re-asking "did we ever do this?"
