Big tasks, one small next step at a time.
Status: in development. Private beta planned.
Slackwise is a task manager we are building to live in your AI. It is not open yet: join the waitlist for early access.
- Breakdown. Slackwise will split a big, vague task into chunks of 5 to 25 minutes, each starting with something physical to do. You will see one next step at a time, not the whole pile.
- Memory. Slackwise is being built to keep a knowledge graph of your work, so it can remember why each task exists and what it is connected to, and your AI can pick up where you left off.
- Follow-through. Slackwise is being built to warn you when a task looks likely to miss its date. Follow-up nudges are planned for later (coming).

How it works
Example. This is a mock-up of how Slackwise is designed to work, written by hand. It is not output from a live product.
You ask your AI: "Break down 'move flat by 1 Dec' into small steps and tell me what to do first."
1. You will dump it, the way it sits in your head
Move flat by 1 Dec. Need to tell the landlord at some point. Probably need a van or some removal people. Everything needs packing. Gas and electric, broadband, post. I haven't started.
2. Slackwise will turn it into small chunks
Each chunk will be 5 to 25 minutes and will start with something physical to do. They will be stored under the parent task, so the "why" will stay attached.
- Open your tenancy agreement and find the notice clause (10 min)
- Write and send the notice email to your landlord with your move-out date (15 min)
- Search for removal firms and van hire, and request three quotes (20 min)
- Book the van or removal firm for the day you move (10 min)
- Pack the books and shelf items into boxes and label them (25 min)
- Log in to your gas, electricity and broadband accounts and enter your move date (20 min)
3. You will see one next step, and why
Next: open your tenancy agreement and find the notice clause (10 min).
Why this one: the move is due 1 Dec, and a notice period is often the step with the least flexibility.
You will be able to skip it. Slackwise will offer the next best step and won't argue. If you tell it you only have a phone and 15 minutes, it will pick a chunk that fits.
What we plan to build, in order
- Planned first, for a small private beta: breakdown, one next step at a time, and deadline-aware ordering.
- Also planned first: Memory, so Slackwise can remember why each task exists and your AI can pick up where you left off.
- Also planned first: warning you when a task looks likely to miss its date.
- Planned for later: follow-up nudges and a daily brief that talk about the next chunk ("15 min: email the landlord") (coming).
- Planned after that: Slackwise doing a chunk for you, with your approval, such as drafting the quote requests in chunk 3 (coming).
Plans can change. Nothing here is available yet.
