Capture work where it actually happens.
React 📋 on any message to turn it into a task. Via assigns, follows up, escalates, and recaps — so decisions made in Slack get done in Slack.
We should fix this by Friday — probably the new checkout middleware.

What you can do
One-reaction capture
Turn any Slack message into a tracked task instantly — title, description, and due date pre-filled. No copy-paste, no context switch.
Claim in one tap
Unowned tasks post 🆓 up for grabs. Claiming assigns and starts the work in a single click — no “who's on this?” thread.
Size × Impact gauges
Every task carries a four-step size and impact scale, so priorities stay honest at a glance — in Slack and on the board.
AI-native editing
Tell @Via what changed in plain language. It updates scope, pushes due dates, and reschedules its own follow-ups to match.
Follow-ups that escalate gently
Via checks in at 11:00 on the due date. If a task slips, the owner gets a private DM, the creator a quiet heads-up, and the task auto-tags overdue.
Set it to repeat
Daily, weekday, weekly, or monthly. Via spawns each occurrence at 11:00 your time, follows it up, and re-arms the next — DST- and month-end-safe.
Attach a bounty
Pin a medal to a task at creation. The moment it's marked done, Via awards the medal and announces it — recognition that pays itself out.
Tasks from your webhooks
Wire a Webhook Relay to spawn a task automatically — a new lead, a contact-form fill, or a subscription set to cancel becomes an owned, claimable task in Slack, routed to the right person.
Weekly Digest & Month in Review
A Monday recap of overdue, unclaimed, expiring, and upcoming work — plus a monthly highlight reel of everything shipped.
From decided to done, without leaving Slack
Follow one real task through its whole life — captured from a decision, claimed, rescoped by AI, chased politely, and closed out.
It starts with a decision
A busy channel, a real commitment. Someone reacts 📋 and Via turns the message into a task — title, description, and due date pre-filled from the words already written. One click, zero copy-paste.
Dunder Mifflin call wrapped — notes in the shared doc 📝
Decision: we send Dunder Mifflin the Q3 revenue report by Fri 27 Jun. Someone needs to own this.
Pre-filled from the message — edit anything before it posts.

Unowned work finds an owner
No assignee? The card posts 🆓 up for grabs. A teammate hits Claim and it's instantly theirs — claiming assigns and starts it in one move. Size and impact gauges keep the stakes honest at a glance.
Compile Q3 revenue, deliver to Dunder Mifflin.

Scope changes? Just tell Via
Requirements moved — they always do. Say it in the thread and Via parses every change: it amends the description, drops what's out of scope, pushes the due date, and reschedules its own follow-up to match.
@Via client asked for this report to come with an Excel projection. No need for the presentation. Also, due date is pushed back by 1 week.

- Presentation deck — out of scope

Fri 20 Jun→ Fri 27 Jun
⏰ Follow-up rescheduled — I'll check in at 11:00 on the new due date.
On the due day, Via follows up
At 11:00 on the due date, Via checks in right in the thread and tags the owner. Mark Done or Snooze — either way, nobody had to remember to chase.
Q3 revenue report for Dunder Mifflin — over to you, @jim.
If it slips, nobody has to nag
Four hours past the follow-up with no movement, Via escalates — gently. A private DM nudges the owner, the creator gets a quiet heads-up, and the task tags itself overdue. Accountability without the awkward public ping.
It slipped past today's 11:00 follow-up. I've let @kevin know quietly, and tagged it so it's easy to find:
Managers get x-ray vision
One command — /tags overdue — and everything behind is on screen with its owner, shared with the channel. No standup round-robin, no “quick status check” meeting.

Lands in #team on schedule. Sections appear only when they have signal — a calm week reads as one tidy “all caught up”.
Mark Done — and everything tidies itself
The owner taps ✅ Mark Done. The overdue tag clears itself, the kanban board updates, and the task drops off next week's digest. Nothing to file, nothing to remember.

1The headline
Posts on the first of the month, covering the month just closed.
Some work is never really done
The weekly report. The month-end close. The daily standup. Set a task to repeat once and Via runs the series forever — each occurrence spawned, followed up, and re-armed, at 11:00 your workspace's time.
Compile revenue, send to finance. Fires at 11:00 your time, every occurrence.
Standups, backups, end-of-day checks. The occurrence that came due is closed; tomorrow's is already waiting.
Reward the work — automatically
Pin a medal to any task when you create it. The instant it's marked done, Via awards the medal to whoever did the work and announces it in the channel. You set the reward once; the recognition closes its own loop.

Then track it all — board or table, your call
Every task lands in the command center too: a kanban board where cards glide between lanes, and a table with inline editors on every cell. Both stay in sync with Slack.
