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.

Congrats :) For teams and agencies managing multiple client projects, are there plans for multi-workspace support (or similar features) in the near future? That would be a game-changer for us!
Congrats on the launch! Also having worked at Facebook, I sorely miss Workplace groups. Forums looks much better than Slack!
From a CSM lens, I’m curious: do you also support things like cross-team visibility or external collaboration with customers today?
This looks absolutely beautiful. Where would you say the design inspiration came from?
Alpine’s big differentiator seems to be unified context for AI agents plus a personalized feed/inbox—can you share an example workflow where that context measurably changes the outcome compared to using standalone AI in separate tools?
The motivation behind this resonates. Switching tools constantly is exhausting, even when each tool is “best in class.”
Curious what internal constraint guided your design decisions the most while building Alpine.
This resonates. The Meta vs. Slack-stack contrast is real individual tools can be great, but the seams between them are where focus dies. Optimizing for capture speed and letting the system organize later feels like the right default, especially if AI is going to be genuinely helpful instead of just decorative. Curious to see how this holds up as teams and information density scale.
Do you have integrations? Would I be able to use the tool alongside my company's existing tool stack (Slack, Linear, Notion, GitHub) for private productivity?
Didn't find docs on your web page to check for myself.
This looks really compelling, especially the idea of having everything in one place with shared context for AI.
One question though: a lot of critical information in teams still lives outside tools — phone calls, meetings, quick verbal decisions. Is that “spoken” knowledge brought back into Alpine so it doesn’t get lost?
Hey Caleb! I have been wondering about a tool like that for a big while!
How can I move all the data, documents and stuff that I have in slack, Notion to Alpine?
Thanks!
Curious how you think about reducing context switching when everything lives in one surface. Do you optimize more for capture speed or later organization?
