The problem it solves

Your team lives in Slack, but reviewing and merging code still means switching over to GitHub, checking every notification, and going through the same steps for every pull request. Reviews slow down simply because of the extra tab switching.

Who it fits

Development teams who use Slack as their main hub and want faster, more visible pull request reviews.

How it works

  1. A pull request is opened or updated on GitHub
  2. The system posts the details to Slack with options to approve, reject, or merge
  3. Selecting an option updates the pull request on GitHub in real time
  4. The Slack message updates to show the final status once the pull request is merged
What you get

Pull requests reviewed without leaving Slack

Approve, reject, or merge GitHub pull requests right from Slack, with GitHub updated the instant you click.

What you get

A Slack message that lets your team review and merge pull requests directly, with GitHub always kept in sync.

What you need

A GitHub repository with a bot token and a Slack workspace with bot permissions enabled.

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.
