Log work hours to Clockify by chatting in Slack

Log, update, or delete Clockify time entries just by chatting with an AI assistant in Slack.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats overlap found needs correction.

The problem it solves

Switching over to a separate time-tracking app just to log a few hours is a small but constant interruption to your day. Team members forget to log time, enter it inconsistently, or accidentally create overlapping entries. You want time tracking that fits into where your team already talks.

Who it fits

Teams and agencies who bill by the hour and want simpler time tracking.

How it works

  1. A team member messages the AI assistant in Slack about their time
  2. The assistant asks any clarifying questions needed, like project or client
  3. It checks for overlaps before saving the entry
  4. The time entry is created, updated, or deleted in Clockify
What you get

Hours logged without touching Clockify directly

You can log, update, or delete your work hours by simply chatting with an assistant in Slack.

What you get

Accurate, conflict-free time entries in Clockify, created straight from a Slack conversation.

What you need

A Slack workspace, a Clockify account, and an OpenAI API key.

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.
