Snitch asks everyone in your Slack one question, who do you report to, and builds the org chart from the answers. Then it answers questions about it: reporting chains, team sizes, who owns what. No HR system, nothing for you to fill in.
Ok, so I built a Slack AI agent that does one very specific thing: owns the Org Chart. That means it can create it, update it, flag things on it, and answer about it to anyone who asks.
If you work in a large enough company that you don't know any new hire right away, you know the problem. And if, by some wild coincidence, you are an HR person (welcome to Product Hunt, btw!) dealing with "how do I get all these people to stop asking me about the org chart???," right now... well, you're welcome! 😇
In all seriousness, I hope you find it useful. Any feedback, especially on use cases I haven't covered, is highly appreciated. 🙏
the who do you report to question works on day one. month six is what i'd worry abt, does snitch re-ask when someone moves teams or does the chart drift
@niveditha_patluri1 Snitch verifies each night if something changed in any of the user details, so if there is a drift, it will verify it. But, to your point specifically, it does not re-ask everybody. It's a good idea to do some regular checkins, or at least have an option for one. Will add it to the backlog :) Thanks!
Report
I'm wondering how much setup is needed before it starts giving useful answers. If it's really just one question in Slack, that's pretty nice.
@paisley_coleman it really depends on your team size. But the moment is launched, and people start answering, you start getting real data. Usually, doing a warm intro by the admin does the trick and then inviting Snitch to #general.
Plus, it's really just one simple question: who do you report to? Hopefully that won't trip up anybody :))

💡 Bright idea
This tool was exactly what I needed for the organization chart! Simple, easy and fun to use. Good job!
clever way to flip who does the data entry. curious what happens with dotted-line reporting though, plenty of people at bigger companies report to one person for headcount and a different one for actual day-to-day work. does snitch let someone give two answers, or does it force a single "who do you report to" and just take whichever one they type first

@orzmar let's gooo!
Pretty clever way to do it! I like it. Assigning Snitch to investigate and prompt the users instead of the other way. Congrats on the launch!

@kinduff thanks man! Yeah, who better to know your boss is, if not you :)
