The problem it solves

Great ideas come up in Slack conversations all the time, but they get lost in the scroll within hours. Without an easy way to capture them, most never make it anywhere near a decision.

Who it fits

Teams that brainstorm in Slack and want a frictionless way to capture ideas without leaving the chat.

How it works

  1. A team member types a slash command with their idea in Slack
  2. The system captures the idea and who submitted it
  3. The idea is added as a new entry in your Notion database
  4. The team member gets a Slack confirmation that it was saved
What you get

Ideas captured before anyone forgets them

Type one command in Slack and your idea lands safely in a shared Notion database without breaking your conversation flow.

What you get

A growing, organized list of team ideas in Notion, credited to whoever submitted them.

What you need

A Slack workspace and a Notion account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
