Your team’s work lives in project management tools and CRMs. Your exec work is scattered. readywhen catches every decision and commitment across Slack, email, meetings, and docs. Without being asked, it drafts what’s needed next: the brief, the email response, the update. You just approve. It's like having your own Chief of Staff, 24/7.
If you're a founder, a leader or anyone managing a team, this one's for you.
You end the day having said yes to twenty things. A promise on a call. An ask buried in a Slack thread. A "leave it with me" you meant at the time. By the time you sit down, half of them are gone. And the ones you remember keep you up at night.
None of us drop the ball on purpose. There's just no one whose job it is to catch everything. So we made it someone's job. readywhen is your 24/7 Chief of Staff.
What it does
It captures what you said you'd do across email, Slack, Notion and meetings.
Then it proactively helps to close the loop, with your full business context in mind.
The result: you stay on top of everything, and nothing slips.
Where we are today
readywhen catches commitments wherever they're made, then gets to work. Drafts the reply. Pulls the report. Chases the owner. Prepares the brief. Brings it back done, ready for your approval. Nothing sends without your final tap.
It connects to the stack you already use, so it works with the full context of your business. Your people. Your projects. Your docs. The conversations you've already had. What it brings back isn't generic, it's ready to action.
Under five minutes to set up. No prompting, no skills to build, nothing to maintain. It just runs in the background.
Other AI tools respond when asked. readywhen acts before you ask.
The best way to feel it is to try it yourself. It's free for founders, leaders and team managers. No credit card.

The framing resonates - commitments scattered across Slack, email and meetings is a real pain. My hesitation is around trust. When I say "I'll handle it" in a meeting, that often means I need to think about HOW first. An AI that proactively drafts a brief or sends a follow-up before I've figured out my approach could create awkward situations. How configurable is the "proactive" behavior - is there a review window before anything goes out?
"Without being asked" is the part most tools get wrong. They wait for you to ask.
How do you keep context coherent when a decision spans weeks of Slack, email, and meetings?
@meandering_sancar Hello, the approval step is the part I like most here. A Chief of Staff agent should not just capture commitments and create more reminders — it should understand context, draft the next step, and know when the human needs to approve before anything moves forward.
The "nothing sends without your final tap" part makes sense, but also feels like where this could get tricky at scale. If I'm making ~30 commitments a day and getting 30 drafts back, that's just a new backlog. How do you think about that as volume grows? Is there some triage layer, or does everything need the same level of review?
Congrats on the launch!
The hardest part of a Chief of Staff role isn't capturing commitments, it's knowing when not to follow up. How does readywhen learn a user's working style over time so it doesn't create unnecessary reminders or actions for low-priority commitments?
would use this to stop dropping the "leave it with me" commitments that get buried in launch-week Slack threads and community DMs. The first thing I would test is how it decides something is an actual commitment versus noise — a throwaway "we could maybe do X" should not become a tracked follow-up. When it does catch one in Slack, does it link back to the exact source message
The idea of catching promises and surfacing them ready-to-approve is brilliant. Congrats! Does it integrate with common meeting tools like Fireflies or Otter yet?
Catching commitments where they already happen is the useful part. Most follow-ups don’t fail because people need another task list, they fail because the promise gets buried. The approval step also keeps it practical.
The number of "yep I'll handle that" promises I make and then lose to a Slack thread is genuinely embarrassing. So yeah, I feel personally called out here lol. Curious whether it ever gets too eager and chases stuff I didn't really mean - but the idea's great.
Great idea and realisation as well. Congrats on the launch!
How do you handle permissions and private channels so it doesn’t overreach?
This is neat. How does it handle the same commitment appearing in both email and Slack?
Hey PH community,
Excited to hunt readywhen today 🎉
Here's the gap nobody talks about 👇
Sales got a CRM. Engineering got Jira. Support got a ticketing system. Every team's work became trackable.
But the person holding it all together? They got memory and willpower.
The exec layer never had a system of record. Decisions, promises, "leave it with me" moments... they live in your head until they don't.
That's what makes readywhen click for me. It catches the commitments scattered across Slack, email, meetings and docs, then quietly drafts what's next. You just approve.
A real Chief of Staff for founders and leaders who've been running without one. 🙌
Huge respect to Sançar and the team for building this. They're here all day, so drop your questions and feedback below ⬇️
Congrats on the launch! The commitment detection looks like the whole ballgame. Wonder how are you guys tuning toward precision over recall? Can users teach it what isn't a commitment? An hour of false positives and people may stop trusting the inbox. Cheers!

When it does catch one in Slack, does it link back to the exact source message so I can verify the context before I approve the draft it writes?
Hi, I'm Adam and I'm a senior engineer working on readywhen! 👋
It's been a fun ride so far getting this together, and the feedback from our initial users has been very positive and super useful - I can't wait to see how it evolves in the next weeks and months and how people will respond to what we have planned!
Happy to answer any questions 🤝
Congrats on the launch, sounds v helpful! How does it build an initial idea of priorities from a user's context?
This solves a real problem. Half the commitments made in Slack threads just disappear. Curious how it tells the difference between a casual 'yeah I'll look into it' and an actual commitment someone needs to follow through on.
The concept is surprisingly relatable.
Most of us don't forget our tasks—we forget the promises and commitments we make throughout the day.
Having something that automatically keeps track of them across meetings, Slack, and email sounds incredibly useful. Looking forward to seeing how teams use this in practice.
Congrats on the launch 👏🔥
One of the biggest productivity killers is forgetting commitments made in meetings and chats. ReadyWhen's approach feels like a practical solution to a very real problem
