The problem it solves

Switching out of Slack to manually upload images to cloud storage breaks your team's flow and adds friction to a simple task. You want files organized in the right folder without leaving the conversation you're already in.

Who it fits

A marketing, content, or DevOps team that shares image assets and needs them in cloud storage fast.

How it works

  1. Starts when a team member opens the upload popup in Slack
  2. They pick an existing folder or create a new one
  3. The system uploads the selected images to your cloud storage bucket
  4. Slack confirms the upload with links to the new files
What you get

Assets your team finds without asking IT

Your team drops images straight into cloud storage from Slack with organized folders and instant links.

What you get

Images stored in an organized cloud storage folder, with confirmation links posted back in Slack.

What you need

A Slack workspace with a configured bot and a Cloudflare R2 storage account.

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.
