Groupthink can now do a project task for you, or hand it to ChatGPT, Claude or Dots

Groupthink today announced that a task on a Groupthink project can now be done by Groupthink itself, or handed to ChatGPT, Claude or Dots. Every task has a Who does it button. It is live now on the web and in the Mac app.

Groupthink keeps a record of the people someone works with and stays in touch with: clients, colleagues, prospects and friends. Projects are where that record turns into work, and most project work has a person on the other end.

Who does it

Clicking Who does it on a task opens a short menu:

• Me, or Someone else…, which records who is doing the task. Groupthink does not tell the other person.
• Groupthink does it, which comes with a paid plan.
• Hand to ChatGPT, Hand to Claude or Hand to Dots.

When Groupthink does it

Picking Groupthink does not start anything. Groupthink first shows an estimate, and nothing runs until the user clicks Confirm.

The run reads the task and the people on it and hands back a plan. If the task is to write to someone, the result also includes a draft marked Draft, not sent. Groupthink never sends anything. The draft waits for the person who owns the task.

A run can also suggest logging an interaction or setting a check-in cadence with someone on the task. Nothing is saved until the user confirms it, and each one can be undone.

When an assistant does it

Many people already keep ChatGPT, Claude or Dots open all day. Handing a task to one of them passes along what the assistant needs to do the job: the task, the project, the due date, and the people on it with their open topics. Meeting notes and transcripts are never sent. For ChatGPT, Open ChatGPT opens ChatGPT with the task already typed in.

Why it matters

A task like “write to the new client about the kickoff” tends to sit on a project list until someone finds the time. A general-purpose assistant could draft it, but it does not know the project or the person. Groupthink already holds both, and reads them before it writes. The person who owns the task still decides what goes out, because Groupthink sends nothing.

Availability

Who does it is live now for every Groupthink user on the web at app.groupthink.com and in the Mac app. Groupthink does it needs a paid plan. The Project tasks guide covers each choice step by step. New to Groupthink? Start at groupthink.com.
