Turn Slack conversations into structured project tickets

Reads a Slack message describing a project need and turns it into a fully detailed ticket automatically.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats clarifying question asked.

Pattern: Structured Loop (21)

The problem it solves

Turning a quick idea into a proper ticket usually means a meeting or a project manager translating what you said into a real task with requirements and details. That back and forth eats time you don't have, especially for small requests.

Who it fits

Small teams or founders who don't have a dedicated project manager writing up tickets.

How it works

  1. Someone describes what they need in a Slack message
  2. AI reads the request and asks clarifying questions if anything is missing
  3. It breaks the request down into a structured ticket with goals, requirements, and acceptance criteria
  4. The finished ticket is posted back into Slack
What you get

Tickets written the moment you ask

A quick Slack message describing what you need becomes a fully detailed project ticket with goals and acceptance criteria, ready to hand off.

What you get

A fully written project ticket, complete with objectives and requirements, ready to hand to your team.

What you need

A Slack workspace 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.
