Microsoft Scheduler vs. Chaser

Microsoft Scheduler was an intelligent assistant designed to streamline the process of scheduling meetings by leveraging natural language processing. Users could delegate the task of organizing meetings to Scheduler by simply sending an email to Cortana, Microsoft's digital assistant. Scheduler would then coordinate with attendees, find mutually available times, and send out calendar invitations, effectively automating the entire scheduling process.

Chaser is a task and project management app that lives entirely inside Slack. Create a task in the middle of any conversation, assign it to anyone, and Chaser automatically follows up until it's done — no separate tool to open, no new logins, and no training required. Because Chaser uses your team's existing Slack accounts, teams see roughly 4x higher adoption than traditional project management tools, and 98.7% of tasks get completed instead of ignored. Anyone who receives a task can use Chaser instantly — it explains itself.
