Introduction
Action items that stay next to the talk.
Todos in chat are lightweight task lists inside a conversation. Capture follow-ups where you already message — in 1:1 and other supported chats as shipped — without bouncing to a separate project app for three checkboxes.
Todos are chat UX, not a Buzzio-sold productivity dossier. Keep follow-ups with the people who need them.
Why Buzzio is best for todos in chat
In-thread
Tasks live in the conversation — context stays attached to the people who agreed on them.
Lightweight
Built for quick checklists, not enterprise project management with Gantt charts.
Follow-ups that stick
Turn “let’s do X” into a visible item instead of scrolling past it forever.
Chat-native
Works alongside normal messaging in supported chats — local / chat UX as shipped.
Pairs with schedule
Use todos for shared checklists; use Schedule send when you need a 1:1 text to leave later.
Honest scope
Not a full Asana replacement — and we do not pretend it is.
What you get
- In-chat tasks
- Checklists
- Follow-ups
- Thread context
- Lightweight UX

How it works
How to use
Open a supported chat
Todos ship in conversation UX where the app offers them — start in a 1:1 or other supported thread.
Add a todo
Create a lightweight task list from the chat tools as shipped and write the follow-up.
Check items off
Mark tasks done as you finish — keep progress visible next to the talk.
Stay in context
Reopen the chat later and see what is still open without hunting old messages.
In-thread tasks
The point is proximity. When two people agree on next steps mid-chat, the checklist sits with that thread — same place as the decision — instead of living only in someone’s head or a disconnected notes app.
vs other lists
Todos in chat
- Tasks inside a conversation
- Shared follow-ups with that chat
- Lightweight checklist UX
Related but different
- Note to myself — private self-chat scratch pad
- Custom chat lists — inbox folders
- Polls — counted votes, not checkboxes
Boundaries
What todos do not mean
They are not a full project suite with assignees, deadlines, and board views. Exact controls follow the in-app chat UX as shipped. And a todo in a shared room follows that room’s storage model — sealed chats stay on the sealed path; shared rooms stay shared.
Tips
- Keep items short — one action per checkbox
- Use todos for shared follow-ups; use Note to myself for private scraps
- Pair with Schedule send when the text itself should leave later
- Clear done items so the list stays useful
