What would you say Untoil does exactly?

  1. We make AI agents that find what's slowing your teams down

    Untoil's AI agents watch where work already happens, including Slack, Google Drive, and OneDrive, and surface toil on their own, so the most expensive problems get caught even when nobody files a thing.

  2. We make logging toil really easy for your teams

    Your team posts toil right where they already work.

    Drop @Untoil in any thread. It reads the conversation and drafts the toil, no restating needed.

What is toil?

Toil is:

Manual, repetitive, automatable work that adds no long-term value. It scales with team size and complexity but not with output.

It's soul crushing to your team, and extremely expensive to the business. Untoil exists to find it and price it.

"If a human operator needs to touch your system during normal operations, you have a bug."
Carla Geisser, Google SRE, in the book that named toil

33%

of Google SREs' time goes to toil, by Google's own measurement, inside teams staffed to fight it. Most companies never measure at all.

52%

of developers name burnout as a primary reason peers quit, per Harness's survey. Toil, not workload, is the usual culprit.

The full story, from Google's definition to what it costs: read the toil guide

Ok, so how expensive is this toil you speak of?

Very. A team of 100 losing just 20 minutes a day is like having 4.0 full-time employees doing nothing but toil, all year.

Team Members

Min per day each

8,333

Hours lost per year 🤦

Do you have any examples of toil?

Yes. Things like this 👇

Filing expense reports takes half a day

Every trip means re-typing receipts into the old expense portal, chasing approvals over email, and re-submitting the whole thing when one field is wrong.

Weekly status reports are copy-paste hell

Every Friday the whole team copies updates out of Slack and Jira into a doc by hand, reformats it, and pastes it into an email nobody reads.

Untoil Integrations

Most toil never gets written down. It lives in Slack threads, Google Drive files, Microsoft Teams channels, and the other tools your company already uses to get work done.

  • SlackChannels and threads
  • Google DriveDocs and files
  • Google ChatSpaces
  • Microsoft TeamsChannels and chats
  • OneDriveShared files
  • WebsiteYour company site

Connecting those tools gives Untoil the richest context about the friction happening inside your company. We use that context to find work that is stuck, duplicated, or waiting on someone, then surface it so your team can see it, price it, and decide what to fix.

Without integrations, Untoil only knows what people remember to log. With Slack, Google, and Microsoft connected, we can help catch the expensive problems even when nobody files a thing.
