We moved from “Teams” to “Apps” in our SaaS — did we overthink this?
Hey Hunters,
Zyvia's intent-based task platform built mainly for:
Devs
Solo founders
Vibe coders
Small dev-heavy teams
The core idea is simple:
You research something.
You get an idea.
You type the intent.
The system turns it into structured, actionable tasks instantly.
No boards to configure. No 10-field forms. No ceremony.
The goal is to support this flow:
Research → Convert to tasks → Execute (with context) → Ship
The Architecture Decision
Originally, the structure was:
Workspace → Teams → Tasks
It made sense from a traditional SaaS perspective.
But in practice, our early users (mostly solo devs) didn’t think in “teams.”
They thought in:
Repos
Experiments
Side projects
Features
So we rebuilt the architecture to:
Workspace → Apps → Tasks
An “App” is basically a focused container.
It can represent:
A repo
A project
A specific initiative
Or just a clean task space
This reduced onboarding friction a lot. Instead of asking, “Create your team,” we now ask, “Create your app.”
It feels more intuitive for builders.
Current Status
Core AI-driven task creation + querying live
Real users managing real work
~10 paying users
Still early, but retention looks more promising after the shift
Where I’d Love Feedback
Does “Apps” feel clearer than “Teams” for a dev-focused SaaS?
Is intent-based task creation something you’d actually adopt long-term?
If you landed on a site describing this, what would confuse you?
