All your work in one place: docs, tasks, chat, AI and more
Alpine brings docs, tasks, and chat together in one app. See updates from across your company with an algorithmic feed. Work alongside AI agents that have complete context of everything you’re doing. Use alongside your current tools or replace them entirely.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Caleb. I've spent the last 3 years building Alpine with a small team.
Alpine is docs, tasks, forum, chat, AI, and a personalized feed in one app. Everything is connected. No integrations to configure, no stitching together apps from different companies.
Why did I forgo a cushy software engineer salary for 3 years to build this? Because I was fed up with all the time I was spending in so called “productivity” tools distracting me from the work I love: building excellent software.
After working in both big tech (Meta) and startups (Airtable) I’d seen two wildly different approaches to productivity tools. Airtable uses what I affectionately call the “Slack Stack” (Slack + some docs tool + some tasks tool). Meta built all their productivity tools in house. You’d think Meta’s internal tools would be worse than the Slack Stack (given the difference in staffing), but I never stopped yearning for Meta’s internal tools! While each individual tool at Meta was behind the rest of the industry they worked nicely together and that made all the difference.
So I spent 3 years building a productivity suite 🙃
It was all worth it because now I get to use Alpine every day. It’s fast, it’s filled with delightful little corners, I don’t have to keep switching apps, I’m not barraged with noise, I’m happy.
What we built:
• Docs that are fast and simple, not a database you have to configure
• Tasks that work like bullet points, hit enter for a new task, tab for subtask
• Forum for async discussions where every post is a thread (no more “can you move this to a thread?”)
• Chat for when you need real-time conversations (and it’s the easiest way to talk with your agents)
• A personalized feed to help you stay on top of everything happening at your company
• Search that uses AI and NLP to find anything in a couple keystrokes
• An inbox that actively sorts the signal from the noise
• Agents to help you with anything: ask for summaries, help with writing, and more
Your docs know about your tasks. We have your social graph so we can recommend stuff based on who you interact with most. When you ask AI for help, it has full context because everything lives in one place.
That last part matters a lot right now. AI agents are starting to enter the workplace, but they’re useless when your work is scattered across 7 apps. Alpine gives them the unified context they need to improve your workflow, not slow you down.
We’re a team of 4. I'm joined by Ian (ex-Amazon, ex-Asana), Rachel (ex-Rover), and Josh (ex-Automattic, ex-Gatsby, ex-Duo Security). We’ve spent 3 years obsessing over every detail and we’re just getting started. Would love to hear what you think.
We’re offering Alpine free for now because we want feedback ([email protected])! If you want to join us in our mission to build the future of work we have a $250 lifetime access plan. You can lock in your price today, never pay us another dollar, and get higher AI limits + storage limits. We can’t do this without your support.
The best part: you don’t have to switch from your current tools all at once. Start with docs and tasks, keep Slack for now. Use as much or as little as you need.
