Builder here. There isn’t a full product yet, so this is early validation rather than a launch.

My working assumption is that a lot of founders, operators, and PMs make real decisions in Slack, then later rewrite those threads into docs, follow-up lists, or status updates by hand. The thing I’m trying to test is whether that pain is common enough, and whether this framing is credible.

I’d especially like pushback on:

  - whether this is painful enough to be worth paying for
  - whether “decision notes, action lists, and project updates” is the right framing
  - whether this sounds like a real workflow improvement or just another layer on top of existing tools

Yeah, I’d probably try it. Slack threads get messy fast, and having something that summarizes and turns them into clear decisions could save a lot of back-and-forth.

Super curious to hear if you plan to integrate other platforms into this too. I definitely suffer from the problem I think you are trying to solve, but find the bigger issue is with platform fragmentation. Sometimes it's a chat with my cofounder in slack, sometimes it's chat in the pub (not sure how you could encompass this one??), sometimes it's a quick WhatsApp discussion because one of us is away from our laptop, or maybe even a chat on Discord with some users involved. Something that could connect and coalesce fragmented decisions and discussions across platforms could be a game changer?
