We built Niyam AI because time tracking is broken.
Most people don't forget to work they forget to log their work. By the end of the day, hours are estimated, tasks are missed, and teams lose visibility into where time actually goes.
We wanted a solution that fits naturally into the way people already work. Since teams spend much of their day in Slack, we built Niyam AI to turn simple conversations into accurate time logs automatically.
The goal is simple: help teams understand where their time goes without adding another tool, form, or timer to their day.
Hey 👋 Tarun here — I built the product.
Not used to writing these so I'll keep it simple.
When Manoj first explained the idea, it genuinely seemed like the most obvious thing nobody had done yet. Time tracking that lives where your team already talks. No new tool to open. No habit to form. Just Slack.
That clarity made it easier to build. When you know exactly what you're solving for, the technical decisions almost make themselves.
The part I'm most proud of is how little the user has to think. You describe what you did in plain language — the way you'd tell a colleague — and the bot handles the rest. Getting that to feel natural took a lot of iteration, but I think we got there.
Excited to see how real teams use it and what breaks first. That's honestly where the interesting work begins.
If you have technical questions or feedback, happy to answer anything here 🙏
