Reads decision notes you save to Dropbox and turns them into structured records in Airtable and Slack.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs.

The problem it solves

Important decisions get scribbled in notes and scattered across files, so the context, rationale, and risks behind them are hard to find later. When someone asks why a decision was made, you end up digging through old messages instead of having one clear record.

Who it fits

Teams and leaders who want a reliable, searchable record of the decisions they make.

How it works

  1. You save a decision note as a text file to a Dropbox folder
  2. AI reads the note and pulls out the context, decision, rationale, risks, and next steps
  3. The structured record is saved to Airtable
  4. A summary with a confidence score is posted to Slack
  5. A backup file is exported and the original note is filed away automatically
What you get

Decisions logged clearly for future reference

You get every decision note turned into a structured record with the reasoning and next steps captured, saved automatically to Airtable.

What you get

A structured decision record in Airtable plus a Slack summary, with a backup file saved automatically.

What you need

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

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.
