The problem it solves

Your team asks the same questions over and over because there's no easy way to get quick answers inside Slack without leaving the app. A generic bot that forgets context after every message isn't much better than searching manually.

Who it fits

Teams that want an AI assistant built directly into their Slack workspace.

How it works

  1. A teammate sends a message to the bot in Slack
  2. The assistant shows a thinking indicator while it works
  3. It checks past conversation history stored in a database for context
  4. AI generates a relevant response using that history
  5. The teammate gets a reply in the same thread, with memory carried into future chats
What you get

Team questions answered instantly inside Slack

You get an AI assistant right inside Slack that remembers past conversations and answers your team's questions on the spot.

What you get

A conversational reply inside Slack, with full context remembered across messages.

What you need

A Slack workspace, an OpenRouter API key, and a Postgres database.

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.
