The problem it solves

Your team has good ideas, but they get mentioned in passing conversation and never written down anywhere useful. By the time someone remembers to compile them, half are forgotten and there's no shared place to see what's already been suggested.

Who it fits

Teams that want an easy way for anyone to capture product or process ideas without leaving Slack.

How it works

  1. Someone types a Slack command with their idea
  2. The system checks the submission and pulls out the idea text
  3. A new row is created in a shared Google Sheet with the idea and who submitted it
  4. It replies in Slack confirming the idea was logged
What you get

Ideas logged the second they're shared

You get every idea shared in Slack instantly saved to a shared spreadsheet for your team to revisit together.

What you get

A running, shared Google Sheet of every idea submitted, with credit to who suggested it.

What you need

A Slack workspace with a custom Slack app and a Google 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.
