Hey team, we need to discuss the API migration strategy. I've been looking at the options and have some concerns about the timeline...
📋 API Migration Strategy Discussion
Team debated three migration approaches. Consensus reached on phased rollout starting with non-critical endpoints. Sarah will lead implementation, targeting March 15th for Phase 1.
Action Items:
Only visible to you
You're losing hours to thread chaos
Every team knows this pain:
"Can someone catch me up on this thread?"
15 minutes gone. Reading 80+ messages just to understand one decision that took 10 seconds to make.
"Wait, who's doing what again?"
Action items buried in message #47. Nobody remembers. Work falls through the cracks.
"I'll catch up on this later..."
Later never comes. You miss the deadline. Or worse — you duplicate someone else's work.
"Didn't we already decide this?"
The answer exists. Somewhere. In a thread. From 3 weeks ago. Good luck finding it.
McKinsey estimated knowledge workers spend 28% of their workweek on email and messaging.
Imagine getting even half of that back.
From "can someone catch me up?" to caught up
Three steps. Under a minute. Skip the scroll.

Slack Thread Summary FAQ
Questions about thread summaries. Need more help? Reach out to us.
Usually under a minute for most threads. Type /recal in any thread and Recal's AI analyzes every message — even threads with 200+ replies. You get the summary, action items, and decisions while you grab your coffee.
That's what Recal is built for. The AI looks for commitments like "can you...", "I'll handle...", "we need to..." and surfaces them with owners and deadlines when mentioned. Much harder to miss tasks when they're extracted and listed.
Absolutely — that's the most common use case. Back from PTO? Joined a project mid-discussion? If you can see the thread in Slack, you can summarize it. Skip the scroll and get caught up fast.
That's exactly when Recal shines. 500+ messages? Technical debates with 8 people talking over each other? Side conversations and tangents? Recal processes it all and surfaces what actually matters.
Only if you share them. Summaries are private by default — great for catching up without broadcasting you were behind. When you're ready, share with one click so nobody else has to ask "can someone catch me up?"
Slack AI can summarize threads, but Recal focuses specifically on action items: who's doing what, by when. You also get a shareable link and persistent record you can reference later. Plus, Recal works via a /recal command your team can standardize.
