How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each team member with open tasks.

The problem it solves

Tasks assigned in Notion are easy to lose track of if your team lives in Slack all day and doesn't check the task board on their own. Deadlines slip not because the work wasn't planned, but because nobody was reminded it was due.

Who it fits

Teams that manage tasks in Notion but communicate day-to-day in Slack.

How it works

  1. Every weekday at 9am, the system checks your Notion task database
  2. It filters out tasks that are already marked done
  3. It matches each remaining task to the right team member
  4. Each person receives a direct Slack message listing their pending tasks and due dates
What you get

Teammates who never miss a due task

Your team receives a Slack message each morning listing exactly which tasks are still open and due.

What you get

A personalized Slack reminder for each team member listing their open tasks.

What you need

A Notion workspace 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.
