@jack__lancaster Saved me almost an entire day when coming back to the office last time ⏳
@parul_gautam Appreciate the support!
Excited to get your feedback as a user 💜
Hey Jack,
This is such a relatable problem, and your solution sounds like a game-changer for maintaining post-holiday bliss. I'm curious, does the summary include categorizations or priorities for the missed messages? Can't wait to try it out for my next vacation!
Cheers to a smoother return to work!
@alex_dulub great question! In our Desktop App product we do actually categorize every message (e.g. Question|Update| etc.) and we use that information together with AI-generated action points to determine prioritisation for individual users.
In the Slack Holiday mode we have developed a binary categorisation on a conversation level (as opposed to each individual message) to distinguish what's relevant for you from what's not.
This is soo useful. We are implementing it asap as our team as we are growing. This has been a huge problem for me personally and other team members for a long time. Congrats and I'd be more than happy to share the product with my community and other founders I know. 🚀
This is so cool. It easily gives me back 0.5-1 day after a 1 week vacation of just catching up with messages. Can't wait to come back from my next vacation!
Love the idea!
I'm curious about your ML engine under the hood, what are you using to get this working?
Hey @vincent_audoire1 👋
We're using a combination of different technologies, this includes fine-tuned open-source models for anonymization of all personally-identifiable / confidential data, MongoDB, RDS w/ pgvector, cosine similarity, hybrid search and some of OpenAI's products like the completion and assistants API (with fallback models models at other LLM providers). Let us know if you have any other questions, always glad to exchange ideas on different approaches and best practices 🙌
saw this over on reddit and thought it was a great product so i’m on PH to upvote and comment on it :)
It would be cool if you could make special groups for super important things. I don't need to know everything I missed, but I want to know about specific things related to my projects in Jira. Like, if I'm working on a project called "Project 1" and it's about making a "User flow change," I want to know if anyone talked about the topics related to Project 1 while I was away within the support channel.
This holiday mode feature is an excellent idea.
Really excited about what the Spoke.ai team is building🚀🚀🚀
Cool solution. When you're on call 24/7, it's really hard to force yourself to take a break knowing you might miss something important in your messages.
Good luck, guys.
@halyna_kamyshanska Thank you for the support and glad to hear Spoke is helping you to stay on top of your messages with more peace of mind.
@hai_ta1 Thank you for the feedback! Glad to hear you had a smooth experience with the install and onboarding
I need this 💯! You are definitely on to a real problem people have with Slack. Same for email would be nice too.
@yegor_naumov Thanks for the feedback!
Hope this will save you some time already 🙌
Seeing a product focused on 'rest' among the many tools aimed at 'increasing productivity' and 'making work more efficient' on Product Hunt is such a refreshing change. I immediately felt the urge to try it out upon hearing the description.
Oh, and are there any plans to expand beyond Slack to other work tools? In Asia, a tool called 'Jandi' is widely used. It would be great if it could be integrated with other tools in the future!
@summer_kim_1014 Thanks for the kind words!
For now, the Holiday Mode mainly works for Slack.
However, we're integrating with various other tools like Notion, Jira, Confluence, GitHub, Linear, and more with our core product. Feel free to check it out or reach out if you have more questions.
Thank you for you support 💜
Hey @jack__lancaster, really impressed with Slack Holiday Mode—it's such a timely tool for managing workloads after a break! Have you considered adding a feature that summarizes key discussions and decisions made while someone is away? This could help in catching up even more efficiently. Great job on addressing a real need for remote and hybrid teams!
Congratulations on the launch! I'm part of a few Slack groups, and this seems like an excellent tool.
Such a game changer!! It actually works super well so now I 100% trust it :) Finally my 7 day holidays will be 7 days, till the last one. Thank you Spoke!!
Definitely see the use in this! Congrats on the launch 🎉 I was wondering how you guys iterate on your model- do you collect data on topics/chats where maybe your summaries or question answering perform poorly? Anyhow keep up the good work 💪
@avibasnet great question, we gather explicit feedback via a feedback modal in the app to identify main areas of improvement and to track whether changes we make to our models and process deliver improved user value (e.g. do the proportion of thumbs-up/ positive comments increase). We also perform meta-analyses of rated summaries to identify issues not directly captured by our feedback options and use that to iterate.
Additionally we usually do a few rounds of testing and annotation/evaluation on our own internal data before release or larger model iterations.
@grainne_mcknight Thanks for the response! Saw you were interested in analytics, and would love to talk more about this if you have the time!
Looks impressive, like it and upvoted. Good job team, bes of luck to you today 🦄❤️
Congrats on the launch! I'm in a few Slack groups and this looks like a great tool.
This will be a game changer! I would log on the day before coming back to work just to sift through slack and catch up so that the next day I could get down to business. Excited for this 😍
@elyssa_stewart1 Thanks for the kind words! You can already get started with it and test it right away 🙌
