What is Twist: Team Messaging?

Twist is a communication tool designed for teams that are burned out by real-time, all-the-time communication. The software was created to help remote or hybrid-working teams communicate efficiently and in a more organized manner. It aims to encourage focused work while minimizing the interruption of constant emails, chats, and meetings.

With Twist, conversations don't get buried with threads as one topic only has one thread instead of a stream of team chat. Its super-specific tagging feature allows you to ensure that only the intended teams see your messages, keeping focus on what's relevant in your inbox. Additionally, notifications are kept to a minimum because processes can be marked done to reach Inbox Zero easily.

To support effective remote collaboration further, Twist enables guests outside the team to join specific channels and participate in project discussions. Communication history is searchable at any time thanks to its fast search capabilities and provides access even after weeks or years have passed. You can also import everything from Slack and connect with other asynchronous working tools like Google Drive & Asana while setting up Zoom, Skype or Jitsi Meet meetings within Twist itself.

Twist: Team Messaging Features

  • Supported: Threads for collaboration & communication
  • Supported: Channels for grouping similar topics

Boring - It's messaging without any kind of twist

Twist: Team Messaging
2 years of experience
We use Twist for project-related communication. Team members are assigned to project chats to help keep conversations focused and on track. This provides for an archive of relevant conversation.

Each project gets its own channel, and the appropriate team members are assigned.

We can post text, share images, and attach files as needed to keep a project on track.

Within each channel, we can have separate conversations for different issues/tasks.
  • Messaging
  • Team communication
  • Email updates
If you have no existing messaging solution, Twist is a viable option. I can't find any reason to recommend it ahead of Slack, Spaces, Teams, Discord, etc.

This is one more solution with team messaging functionality, and file sharing, and message archiving/searching.

If budget is an issue, Twist can be replaced with a free solution like Discord.
  • Messaging a relevant group of people
  • File sharing
  • Image sharing
  • None that can be directly tied to Twist
  • We were forced to use Twist in a certain environment, but no change to our ROI
  • Provides one more place to look, one more place to try and find messages.
Does not stand out at all. I can't think of any reason to select Twist over more popular choices like Slack, Teams, Discord, or Spaces.

We use Twist because it forced on us by a specific scenario. Otherwise, we would just use an existing platform (ex: Slack) to handle this communication.
