Nudge Business Communication & Action Tool

Project Title

Nudge – WhatsApp-Style Business Messaging & Action Platform

Project Overview

I am looking for a developer or small team to build Nudge, a WhatsApp-style messaging platform designed specifically for businesses.

Nudge combines:

Internal team messaging

Lightweight task nudges

Follow-up prompts

All inside a single chat-style interface.

In simple terms:
Nudge is WhatsApp for businesses, but with built-in action prompts and accountability.

This is a low-cost, high-volume SaaS product priced at £2–£3 per user per month.

Core Concept (Plain English)

Businesses already use WhatsApp for:

Chasing staff

Following up clients

Reminding teams

Asking “Did you do this?”

Nudge replaces this chaos with:

Structured chat

Built-in reminders

Read / done status

No missed follow-ups

Messaging first. Structure second.

Target Users

Small businesses

Teams (2–100 users)

Sales teams

Operations teams

Agencies

Trades & service businesses

User Roles
1. Business Owner / Admin

Creates company workspace

Manages users

Views team activity

Controls permissions

2. Team Member

Chats

Receives nudges

Marks actions as done

Sends nudges to others

Core Functional Requirements
1. Business Workspace System

Each business has its own workspace

Users belong to one or more workspaces

Invite users via email or link

2. WhatsApp-Style Messaging Interface (Core UI)

The main interface must look and behave like:

WhatsApp / Slack / iMessage

Features:

1-to-1 chats

Group chats

Message timestamps

Read receipts

Typing indicator (optional v1)

3. Action Nudges (Key Differentiator)

Any message can be turned into a Nudge.

Example:

“Call supplier today” → tap “Make Nudge”

Nudge options:

Due time/date

Priority

Optional repeat

Assigned to a user

4. Nudge Delivery & Tracking

For each nudge:

Status: Pending / Done / Overdue

Visible to sender and recipient

Overdue nudges highlighted automatically

Reminders sent via:

In-app

Push

Email (fallback)

5. Smart Follow-Ups (Rule-Based v1)

System automatically:

Reminds users before due time

Escalates overdue nudges

Re-notifies if ignored

Notifies sender if overdue

No AI required for V1.

6. Business Use Cases (Must Support)

“Chase this invoice”

“Call this lead”

“Upload documents”

“Send quote”

“Confirm job completed”

This should feel natural in chat, not like task software.

7. Activity Feed (Lightweight)

Admins can see:

Open nudges

Overdue nudges

Completed nudges

Who is delaying what

No heavy dashboards in V1.

8. Search & History

Search messages

Search nudges

Filter by user or status

9. Notifications

Real-time notifications

Quiet hours settings

Priority nudges bypass quiet hours (optional)

10. SaaS Subscription & Monetisation

£2–£3 per user per month

Stripe integration

Monthly billing

Free trial

Seat-based pricing

Admin Panel

Admin must be able to:

Create/delete workspaces

Manage users

View usage

Control billing

Enable/disable features

Technical Preferences

Web app first

Mobile-friendly

PWA or native app later

Bubble acceptable if scalable

Realtime messaging (WebSockets / Firebase / similar)

What This Is NOT
Not a CRM
Not project management software
Not Slack clone for developers
Not public chat

This is private, action-driven business messaging.
