Use Case

Founder brief in your Slack DM, on demand today, every morning at 8am once v4.3.0 ships (Q2 2026).

These pages exist for real buying and rollout decisions, not generic demo traffic. Each one states the pain, the workflow, the outputs, the commercial fit, and the self-host versus Cloud tradeoff explicitly.

Pain

Founders lose time reconstructing priorities, chasing context, and checking multiple channels before responding or deciding.

Workflow

Define an exec_brief workflow profile with your founder + product + ops channels. Schedule the morning catch-up DM (Pro/Team — rolling out Q2 2026). Wake up to a structured brief in your Slack at 8am workspace time once the cron handler lands.

Signals this page is relevant

  • Important decisions are getting buried across founder, product, and support channels
  • You regularly need a same-day brief before replying or deciding
  • You'd benefit from a structured morning DM that lands before you open Slack manually

Repeatable workflow steps

  • Define an exec_brief workflow profile (founder + product + ops channels).
  • Enable scheduled morning catch-up DM (rolling out Q2 2026) at 8am workspace time (Pro/Team only).
  • Wake up to a structured brief in your Slack DM. Decide; don't archaeologize.

Named outputs

  • Daily 8am morning brief in DM
  • Decisions + asks + action items
  • Risks + open questions surfaced
  • Workflow profile: exec_brief
  • Structured JSON return: exec_brief structured JSON: {summary, decisions, risks, asks, action_items}
  • Claude-first, Gemini CLI supported

What good looks like

  • A founder starts the day with one structured brief in their DM instead of channel hopping.
  • Decisions are explicit and reusable by an operator or EA.
  • Once v4.3.0 ships (Q2 2026), the workflow runs every morning automatically — no asking required. Today, run slack_catch_me_up at the same time every morning for the same shape.

Prompt starter

Use this as the initial request in Claude or Gemini CLI after the endpoint is connected.

Run slack_catch_me_up against my exec_brief profile for the last 24 hours and return the structured JSON.

Anonymized example output

Summary: current state compressed for the next operator. Action items: owner + deadline when available. Decisions: commitments already made in Slack. Handoff: what the next person needs before they open the raw channel.

Plan fit

Pro at $9/mo is the perfect fit. The scheduled morning catch-up DM (rolling out Q2 2026) is the differentiator that makes $9 a no-brainer for daily founder use.

Self-host vs Cloud

Self-host if you want to define exec_brief profiles locally and don't need scheduled DMs. Pro is the fit when the daily 8am brief becomes a habit you depend on.

Premium fit

Pro at $9/mo unlocks unlimited AI tools today; the scheduled morning DM is rolling out Q2 2026 and is the lever that makes $9 a daily habit. Until then, Pro buys unlimited credits, permanent OAuth, and 90-day Vectorize.

Trust and buyer review

  • Use /status for the live hosted status contract.
  • Use the Ops engagement page for SLA, custom retention, or SOC2 questions.
  • Use the security page for buyer-facing controls, storage, and analytics disclosure.
  • Use official vs managed when the team is still deciding between Slack's official path and the managed commercial path.
