Withose for Slack
Your decisions already happen in Slack. Now they get remembered there.
Every week your team settles real questions in Slack threads: a vendor, a scope cut, a policy, a hire. A month later the thread is buried, the reasoning is gone, and the question quietly reopens. Slack is where your company decides; it was never built to be where your company remembers.
Withose adds the memory without moving the conversation. One slash command turns the thread into an AI-drafted decision record with named stakeholders, explicit positions, a synthesis, and a permanent place in a searchable archive.
How it works in Slack
- 1
Capture where the decision happened
Type /withose in any channel, or right-click a message and use the Withose message action. You choose exactly which conversation gets captured; Withose never reads anything you did not select.
- 2
AI drafts the record
From the selected conversation, Withose drafts the decision: the question being settled, the options on the table, and where each participant already stands. You review and correct it, not write it.

Stakeholders weigh in, accounts optional
Name the people whose position matters. Each gets an email link to record support, opposition, or a neutral stance with their reasoning. No Slack access needed, no Withose account, no seat cost.
- 4
Synthesis, then a finalized record
AI synthesizes the positions: where people agree, where they clash, the open risks, and a recommendation. Finalize it and the decision joins your searchable archive, with a ready-to-paste announcement and an optional revisit reminder.

Your archive pushes back
When you finalize a decision, it is checked against what your workspace already decided. If today's call contradicts March's, Withose flags the conflict right there, not months later when it bites.

Common questions
Does Withose read our Slack message history?
No. Withose has no access to your message history and does not subscribe to Slack's event stream. Content reaches Withose only when a member of your team explicitly captures a specific conversation, having seen exactly what was selected. Captured content is encrypted at rest with your workspace's own key.
How do I capture a decision in Slack?
Two ways: type /withose in the channel where the discussion happened, or right-click any message and choose the Withose message action. Both open a review step before anything is sent.
Do stakeholders need to be in our Slack workspace?
No. Stakeholders weigh in through an email link with no account and no seat cost, so clients, advisors, and people from other departments can participate without joining your Slack.
What does it cost?
Pricing is public: a Free plan, Team at $45 per seat per month billed annually, and Business at $99 with a 3-seat minimum. Only teammates who create and manage decisions need seats; stakeholders are always free. Every new workspace starts with a 7-day Team trial, no card required.
We also use Microsoft Teams. Does that work?
Yes. Withose is native in both Slack and Microsoft Teams, and decisions captured from either land in the same workspace archive.
