Bex - Turn your Slack messages into a self-updating knowledge base

👋 Hello, awesome Product Hunt community! I'm Gabe, one of the co-founders of Bex. We're both excited and a bit nervous to introduce Bex to you today. Although we're technically still in Beta, we believe there's significant value in what we’ve built so far, and we’re eager to validate that through feedback from this epic community. We know you'll be transparent with your thoughts, and we can't wait to listen. 🙏 Bex aims to unlock the valuable information that most companies store—and eventually lose—in Slack. As you and your colleagues ask Bex questions and provide the correct answers, Bex will either create new documentation or update your existing documentation with this new information. We’ve also created a Slack shortcut that lets you document any message containing valuable information (that will likely be queried again in the future), and Bex will automatically add this to your relevant documentation. You can see a full demo of our Beta here: https://youtu.be/d_est6gMp8M Importantly, we’ve taken steps to combat hallucination. We require a human-in-the-loop process 🕵️ to verify the merging of document updates, and we create in-line source citations referring back to the exact discussion where the new information was shared. We’ve completely opened up our platform to this community. You can sign up for free and get unlimited access for 7 days. We’ll then reach out directly to see if Bex adds continued value to your workflows. To get an idea of pricing, we're thinking $20 per editor with unlimited team members who can query, answer and view. We’re incredibly excited to get your feedback and will be here all day to answer questions, fix bugs, and chat about the Future of Work! 🚀 P.S. A lot of people ask why we named our company Bex. We want Bex to be seen as a peer so good at capturing up-to-date information that when colleagues ask you a question, you can simply say: "Don't ask me, ask Bex!" 😂 All the best, Gabe & Zach

Congrats on the launch, Gabe and Zach 🎉 Wishing you loads of success with Bex!

@gabe_stein & @zach_bresler awesome idea and solid demo video! Incredibly useful for Sales and Customer Success teams, especially with changes in pricing, seasonal promotions, and constantly evolving plan packages! It could serve as a bridge between finance, leadership, and AEs

Hey Gabe! This is an awesome concept. The pain point of losing valuable info in Slack is real, and Bex seems like a game changer for that! I love the idea of a human-in-the-loop to keep things accurate—super smart move. Plus, the short cut feature sounds like a time saver! Can't wait to see how it evolves. Cheers to you and Zach for bringing this to life!

Hey Gabe and Zach, Bex sounds incredibly useful for managing and preserving valuable team knowledge within Slack. I'm curious about the human-in-the-loop verification process for document updates. How seamless is it, and does it require much manual effort from the team members? Congrats on the launch!

Congrats on the launch, really briliant idea! Is there possibility to mark information as out of date?

Congrats on your launch! I had the same idea for exactly this kind of product not too long ago but didn't find the time to build it so glad someone else did. Looks great and wish you the best of luck!

Hey @gabe_stein Bex is a tool that helps teams save time. It takes chats from Slack and turns them into helpful documents. These documents can be searched right in Slack, so you don't have to repeat yourself. It's like having a smart assistant for your team's knowledge.

As a Content Writer for SaaS brands, I get on a lot of meetings on a daily basis and I'm super excited for a tool like Bex to help me with documentation. Great work the team put into this! 👏🏽

Wish this was around when I still worked at AWS! Our team was extremely bad at knowledge sharing effectively, even though we did it often, and usually through Slack. This would've been a game-changer. My startup team is small, so we're not ready for this yet, but can't wait until that day comes! Also can't wait till this is ready for enterprise so I can share with my old team.
