What is Workast?

Workast enhances team collaboration and productivity by providing a centralized hub for managing all aspects of work. It enables users to effectively plan, deploy, and complete projects through organized spaces, lists, and tasks. Team members can stay aligned with clear communication channels, including comments and file sharing, ensuring everyone is working towards common objectives.

The platform offers robust integrations with essential business tools such as Slack, Webex, Email, Calendar, and Zapier, which connects to over 2000 other applications. This reduces context switching and improves adoption by allowing teams to manage tasks directly within their existing workflows. Workast also provides flexibility in how work is visualized and managed, offering list, board, calendar, and timeline views, along with custom fields to tailor workflows to specific team needs. Some plans include AI-powered workflows to automate processes.
