Patrick bot

Patrick bot is aimed less at software teams and more at managers coordinating people who work offline — retail staff, delivery workers, freelancers, part-timers — where the manager needs a fast way to hand someone a task without a full project-management rollout. Setting a task for a specific person happens through a short flow in a private chat with the bot, which keeps the assignment out of a busy group chat where it would get lost in scroll.

Beyond assigning, each task keeps its own comment thread with files and a status the assignee updates, so the manager sees results without chasing people in the group. According to the developer's own write-up, the basic functionality is free for any number of connected chats and participants. One caution before building a team process on it: the bot's former website, patrickbot.io, now shows an unrelated product, so there is no current documentation or price list to check, and the bot itself is the only up-to-date source.
