Ask HN: Is chat→task copy-pasting the silent productivity killer?

Founder here trying to sanity check a hunch before over-engineering the wrong thing.

Hypothesis: The worst “work about work” in modern teams isn’t any single bad tool; it’s the manual hop from conversation to execution.

Usual loop: 1. Decision happens in Slack/Teams. 2. Someone re-types it as a Jira/Asana ticket. 3. Someone else pastes context into Notion/Confluence.

Three tools, three formats, three places for context to decay. Integrations help, but still feel like duct tape the user stays the glue.

I’m exploring a more opinionated route: one workspace where chat, tasks, docs share the same data layer no sync, no hand off.

Questions for HN: - Is this translation work a real pain for you, or just background noise? - How does your team currently bridge (or tolerate) it? Any workflows or tools you actually love? - Does a unified OS sound naïve versus “best-of-breed + integrations,” or worth pursuing?

Would love your candid takes pain points, contrarian views, anything. Thanks!
