Used For

• +**Your team misses decisions buried in 200+ daily Slack messages** → Every discussion gets its own thread that stays findable forever
• +**You're losing 4+ hours weekly to notification interruptions** → Custom alerts per thread, most conversations happen async on your schedule
• +**Project context gets lost when team members change** → All updates live in searchable threads instead of someone's brain
• +Automated team check-ins replace weekly status meetings
• +Turn any discussion thread into a task without switching apps

Best For

• >Remote teams drowning in Slack notifications and missing important updates
• >You're spending 2+ hours daily hunting for context buried in chat history
• >Project managers juggling multiple clients who need organized communication trails

Not For

• -Teams under 10 people — you're probably fine with group text or basic Slack
• -Sales or support teams who need instant responses and frequent video calls
• -Companies wanting more than 5 integrations on the free plan — you'll hit that limit fast

Pairs With

• *GitHub (code updates post automatically to project threads instead of getting lost in #general)
• *Asana (turn thread discussions into actual tasks without copy-pasting context)
• *Todoist (personal task management that syncs with team threads)
• *Zapier (the awkward workaround for video calls since Twist has none)
• *Google Drive (file sharing up to 5GB free, though Slack does this better)

The Catch

• !Free plan only keeps 1 month of history — you'll upgrade when you need that context from 6 weeks ago
• !No built-in video calls, so you're stuck with Zapier workarounds for quick face-to-face chats
• !The learning curve isn't the tech (that's easy) — it's training your team to think in threads instead of rapid-fire chat

Bottom Line

Slack for people who actually want to get work done instead of playing notification whack-a-mole all day.
