Every team I've worked with has the same problem.

The answer you're looking for usually exists somewhere...

• Slack thread
• GitHub PR
• Jira ticket
• Meeting notes
• Google Docs

But finding the full context later feels like a treasure hunt.

I'm thinking about building something that connects all of these and lets you ask questions in plain English instead of searching across multiple tools.

Before I spend more time on it, I wanted to ask:

• Is this actually a problem for your team?
• How do you deal with it today?
• What would make you switch from your current workflow?

I'd really appreciate honest feedback—even if you think it's a bad idea.

Every team I've worked with has thousands of Slack messages, GitHub PRs, docs, meeting notes, and tickets.

The information exists.

But finding the reason behind a decision is surprisingly difficult.

A new engineer asks,
"Why did we build it this way?"

Someone replies,
"I remember discussing it... somewhere."

Then begins the 30-minute hunt across Slack, GitHub, Notion, Jira, and Google Docs.

It feels like companies don't have an information problem.

They have a memory problem.

I'm curious:

• How does your team preserve important decisions?
• What breaks as your company grows?
• Have you found anything that actually works?

I'm exploring this problem and would love to hear real experiences.

Everyone says social media kills productivity.

For me, it wasn't even close.

The biggest time sink was trying to reconnect context.

Searching Slack.
Opening old PRs.
Reading meeting notes.
Checking Notion.
Asking teammates,
"Do you remember why we changed this?"

Nothing was technically lost.

It was just scattered everywhere.

I realized I wasn't doing deep work.

I was doing detective work.

Curious if it's just me...

Where do your work hours disappear?
