Hoop

Hoop is an AI task generator tool. Hoop captures commitments from email, Slack and meetings, keeps the original context attached to each task, and helps users follow through. It comes from the team behind Trello and is currently onboarding through a waitlist.

Hoop is a task management tool built around a single idea: the work you promise to do lives scattered across email threads, Slack messages and meeting conversations, and most of it never makes it into a to do list. Hoop captures those commitments from your existing work channels, attaches the surrounding context to each item, and keeps the resulting tasks in front of you so follow through becomes the default rather than an act of memory. It comes from the team behind Trello and is backed by Index Ventures. In practice the product positions itself as a layer that watches where work already happens instead of asking you to adopt another inbox. Commitments are extracted from email, Slack and meetings, and each task carries its context with it, so when you return to an item you can see the message or conversation that produced it rather than a bare title with no history. That context carrying is the core distinction against a plain checklist app: the task and the reason for it stay together. The tool is aimed at people whose obligations arrive through conversation rather than through a ticket queue. Managers, consultants, founders and anyone juggling client threads across several channels are the obvious audience, along with teams that already live in Slack and email and have given up on manually re-entering action items into a separate system. It suits individuals who want lighter structure than a full project management suite, and it can sit alongside an existing tracker as a capture layer rather than a replacement. Hoop overlaps with AI meeting note takers and with task tools that offer email or Slack forwarding. The difference it claims is breadth: commitments from all three surfaces are gathered in one place with their context intact, rather than one integration at a time. Buyers should note that Hoop is currently collecting a waitlist rather than offering open signups, and the homepage states no pricing, platform availability or support details, so those questions need to be raised directly with the company before committing.
