API docs are 80% done. I'll have them ready by Friday. Still waiting on Jake's migration notes though.

Onboarding redesign is coming along. First draft by Wednesday. But I need final copy from marketing — @Dana can you ping them?

Migration guide is drafted, sending to affected customers by end of month. Also — we agreed to deprecate v1 right? Someone should update the status page.

Yes, v1 is going away. I think Priya volunteered for the status page last week? Let me check.

The problem

You open Slack after a meeting and there's a 30-message thread in #product-sync. You need to know what happened and who owes what. So you select the whole thread, copy it, switch to ChatGPT, paste it with "summarize this and list action items," wait for the response, copy it, switch back to Slack, and paste it in the reply box.

It works. But you just spent two minutes on what should be a two-second task — and you shared the thread contents with a third-party tool outside your workspace.

How Revryte fixes this

With Revryte, you never leave Slack. Here's the workflow:

  1. Click into the reply box — with the thread visible on screen
  2. Type ;;recap — your trigger fires Revryte
  3. Done — Revryte reads the thread from your screen and generates a summary with action items, right in the compose box

No selecting, no copying, no switching tabs. The summary appears where your whole team can read it.

Why this is better than ChatGPT

When you copy a thread into ChatGPT, you're manually doing what Revryte does automatically — giving the AI context. Revryte reads what's on your screen, so it already knows the thread contents. You just type the trigger and the summary appears.

And because Revryte uses a snippet template, every recap follows the same format: summary first, then action items with owners. Consistent, scannable, useful.

Works in any chat app

Revryte works at the macOS level, not as a browser extension. It works in Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat — any app where you can type and see a thread on screen.
