The product

What it is

Pairboard is an AI-powered task and productivity tool built around one idea: AI should manage your work, not just track it.

Most productivity tools are glorified lists. Todoist, Notion tasks, Apple Reminders — they store what you add and surface it when you ask. Pairboard is built differently. The AI understands context, organises tasks across projects, surfaces what matters today, and connects directly to the tools you already use — Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Telegram — turning conversations and messages into actionable tasks automatically.

The challenge

Make AI feel like a natural colleague, not a feature.

The hardest problem in AI productivity tools isn't the AI — it's the interface. Users don't want to learn a new system. They want something that fits into how they already work and makes it better. Pairboard had to feel instantly familiar while doing something fundamentally new.

The Role

What the work covered

  • Sole product designer across the full tool and marketing website
  • Designed the AI interaction model and task management flows
  • Built the full navigation architecture and information hierarchy
  • Designed the integrations system (Slack, Discord, Teams, WhatsApp, Telegram)
  • Created the onboarding experience to personalise AI behaviour per user
The Work

Designed and Shipped. Under One Month.

01

AI Task Dashboard

The core to-do experience — grouped by date, AI-suggested priorities, subtask management, and project organisation — designed to feel clean and fast, not cluttered with AI noise.

02

Connections & Integrations

A unified integrations hub connecting Pairboard to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, and Telegram — letting the AI pull tasks from conversations and send updates back automatically.

03

Smart Onboarding

A personalised onboarding flow that collects context — work style, company details, linked accounts — so the AI can organise tasks intelligently from day one without setup friction.

04

Marketing Website

A product marketing site designed to communicate the AI-first positioning clearly — built to convert visitors who are tired of conventional productivity tools into Pairboard users.

Key design decisions

AI That Gets Out of the Way

Familiar Structure, Smarter Core

The layout follows conventional productivity app conventions — sidebar, content area, search — so users feel at home immediately. The AI works beneath the surface, not on top of it.

Integrations as Input

Instead of manually adding tasks, users connect their existing communication tools. Pairboard reads the context and creates tasks automatically — turning every message into action without extra effort.

Personalisation Before Productivity

Onboarding collects user context first — role, company, working style — so the AI can prioritise intelligently from the first session. No cold start. No generic suggestions.
