Why Textio

Let’s be real. You probably got this job because you were good at a completely different job. You’re being asked to manage more tasks and people with fewer resources. Your best employees are burning out, and can you blame them? It’s a lot.

Managers oversee 3x as many people as they did in 2017
Managers have 51% more responsibilities than they can effectively manage
59% of managers report spending a significant amount of time on “work to do work”
Managers spend an annual average of 210 hours on performance management—nearly 30 days out of the year
1 in 5 current managers would prefer not to be a people manager, if they had a choice

The really messed up thing is that software has been promising to help us be more productive for decades—but the companies building this stuff have only made it worse. By a lot. Our lives are noisier and busier than ever.

But, what if something out there just helped us all do less?

Ancient humans didn’t invent tools so they could spend more time hunting and harvesting. They invented tools to make things faster and easier, so they could do less and get more for it. That was what real innovation used to be about. That, and not dying by wooly mammoth attack.

So, what if we found our way back to meaningful innovation by building tools to make things easier, better, faster, more simple, and, maybe, just a little more fun?

That’s Textio. We make it radically easier to be a great manager and not burn out.

Our AI tools don’t just automate busywork to generate words faster. They eliminate routine tasks so you can actually read less, write less, do less, and focus on what matters; your people.

We keep hearing from managers that feedback is one of the hardest, most stressful parts of the job. So, today, we make feedback easier for you to give and get right. Soon, you’ll get even more magical moments from Textio—more ways to do less and be better.
