Role clarity: Slack = capture, Notion = synthesize, Jira = track.

Reality: Decisions still leak out of channels, tasks lose owners, docs go stale.

Unifying everything in one mega-app can create new clutter, unless the app itself preserves context automatically. That’s the angle we’re exploring: keep roles clear, but let the hand-off happen inside the flow so people don’t have to think about it.

Curious how does your team make sure a Slack decision doesn’t die before it reaches Jira? Any workflow tricks that actually stick?

P.S. We’re prototyping a tool that tries this “context-in one flow” idea (still private beta). If anyone’s curious—or has horror stories about chat→task hand-offs—happy to swap notes. DM or reply here.

The goal of what we’re building isn’t to make someone work; it’s to strip away the overhead that slows down people who already want to.

Think of it like version control: Git doesn’t write code for you, but it removes enough coordination pain that good engineers ship more often. We’re aiming for the same effect between conversation and execution—same motivation, less drag.

From our side, the north-star is a radically simple answer: let a single chat thread end all that visible complexity. One place, one flow, nothing to copy or sync. That’s the product we’re building toward.

Curious have you seen lightweight workflows that actually cut this friction without adding new layers?

No Silver Bullet: We’re not chasing a “one tool to rule them all.” The essential complexity—humans aligning on what to do can’t be deleted; we’re only trying to strip away the accidental part (manual copy-pasting).

Zawinski’s Law: Instead of cramming every feature into one bloated app, we’re limiting scope to a single object model:

A message, a task, and a doc are the same object, just rendered in different views.

Chat ≠ Task Manager ≠ Wiki, but they sit on the same data layer, so hand-offs happen automatically rather than by re-typing.

Anything beyond that (CRM, billing, email) stays as integrations no temptation to rebuild an Outlook clone.

So the direction is “context cohesion without feature creep.” If we can kill the copy-paste tax and still keep each tool honest to its purpose, we think that’s the sweet spot.

Curious where you’ve seen this approach succeed or crash and burn in real teams.
