Building DailyExtract,  Because Slack is a Decision Graveyard

For years, I’ve worked inside teams where everything happened in Slack, decisions, deadlines, task handoffs, ideas, discussions, all good… until the next morning.

When someone always asks:

• “Where/when did we decide that?”

• “Who owns this action?”

• “Did we agree on a date for that?”

• “Which channel was that in?”

And suddenly I was scrolling back through threads like a madman.

Search, scroll, guess, repeat.

So instead of building another dashboard, another productivity tool, another tab… I built something deliberately simple:

DailyExtract

A morning email that tells you what actually mattered yesterday.

No UI, no onboarding, no behaviour change.

Just one automated summary containing:

• decisions made

• action items & owners

• deadlines & dates mentioned

• discussion highlights you missed

• threads that would’ve disappeared forever

Because the most valuable information isn’t the data, it’s knowing what you need to remember tomorrow.

Why an email? Why not a web app?

Because nobody opens dashboards unless forced, but everyone checks email.

I didn’t want a tool that teams should use. I wanted a tool that teams cannot avoid benefiting from.

The bigger vision V2

Slack is step one.

The real problem isn’t Slack,  it’s conversation memory.

Teams talk across:

• Slack

• Teams

• Discord

• Google Chat

• Email threads

• Comments in Notion, Jira, and Linear

And decisions are scattered like breadcrumbs.

My long-term vision is a single cross-platform decision memory layer,  a daily brief summarising important outcomes, not just messages. Slack is the wedge; the pain is universal.

Launching Dec 15 2025, the waitlist is open, and I’m collecting early users before opening access.

Not looking for hype.
Not looking for vanity signups.

If this resonates, tell me where conversation memory hurts most in your workflow.
That insight matters more than a signup.

If you could get a daily summary of any tool you use,  Slack, Notion comments, Jira, Discord, or Email, which one would have the highest impact for you?
