The problem it solves

You get sent Loom videos all the time but rarely have time to watch every minute of them. Digging through a recording to find the one detail you need wastes time you don't have.

Who it fits

Teams and managers who rely on Loom video updates from colleagues or clients.

How it works

  1. Someone shares a Loom video link along with a question
  2. The system pulls the video and sends it to AI
  3. AI watches the video and answers the specific question
  4. The answer is posted to Slack automatically
What you get

Video answers without watching the recording

You ask a question about any Loom video and get the answer posted straight to Slack without ever watching it yourself.

What you get

A written answer to your question about the video, posted in Slack.

What you need

A Gemini API key and a Slack 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.
