#3Builder here. There isn’t a full product yet, so this is early validation rather than a launch.
My working assumption is that a lot of founders, operators, and PMs make real decisions in Slack, then later rewrite those threads into docs, follow-up lists, or status updates by hand. The thing I’m trying to test is whether that pain is common enough, and whether this framing is credible.
I’d especially like pushback on:
- whether this is painful enough to be worth paying for
- whether “decision notes, action lists, and project updates” is the right framing
- whether this sounds like a real workflow improvement or just another layer on top of existing toolsRe: Ask HN: Would you use a tool that turns Slack threads into decisions?
#4Yeah, I’d probably try it. Slack threads get messy fast, and having something that summarizes and turns them into clear decisions could save a lot of back-and-forth.

#5Super curious to hear if you plan to integrate other platforms into this too. I definitely suffer from the problem I think you are trying to solve, but find the bigger issue is with platform fragmentation. Sometimes it's a chat with my cofounder in slack, sometimes it's chat in the pub (not sure how you could encompass this one??), sometimes it's a quick WhatsApp discussion because one of us is away from our laptop, or maybe even a chat on Discord with some users involved. Something that could connect and coalesce fragmented decisions and discussions across platforms could be a game changer?
