What You'll Need

  • • 5 minutes

  • • Your team members' phone numbers
  • That's it. No credit card, no app downloads, no complicated setup.

    Step 1: Create WhatsApp Group (1 minute)

  • Open WhatsApp

  • Tap the "New Group" button

  • Add your team members

  • Name it: "[Your Team] - Tasks"

  • Tap Create

  • • "Project Alpha - Deliverables"
  • Step 2: Add TaskRio Bot (1 minute)

  • In the group, tap the group name at top

  • Tap "Add participant"

  • Add this number: +91 99250 37581

  • TaskRio will introduce itself
  • The bot will send a welcome message explaining how it works.

    Step 3: Create Your First Task (30 seconds)

    Type in the group:


    @TaskRio Finish project proposal by Friday @TeamMember1

    Replace "TeamMember1" with actual person's name.

    TaskRio creates the task and notifies them.

    Step 4: Show Team How to View Tasks (1 minute)

    Tell team members to type:


    @TaskRio list my tasks

    That's it! Task marked complete.
