Paco sniffs out important asks hidden beneath heaps of Slack conversations and reminds you about them at an appropriate time. It follows up with your colleagues automatically, freeing you up to tackle things that need your undivided attention.
Howdy Hunters,
Thank you @kevin for hunting Paco!
We love Slack - how lively and interactive it makes our virtual workplaces. But sometimes it becomes too much of a good thing. The constant chatter can interrupt our ability to do focused work. For some of us makers, it causes constant anxiety that something important might slip through the cracks. We created Paco to bring some calm focus back into our lovely Slack lives.
We have been building Paco with a group of amazing early adopters over the past couple of months, and are now ready to share it with you all.
Here is how it works:
š¶ Single-Player Mode
Hit 'Add to Paco' from the actions menu for any message that you want to track. Paco will consolidate it into a single queue that you can process anytime you want. It will also send you a daily reminder about it at a time of your choosing.
š§š½āš¤āš§š¼ Team Mode
Add Paco to any team channel and watch it automatically detect messages that may need to be followed upon.
Or you can mention @paco in any message and it will create a thread to follow up on it.
ā Paco Queue
Paco queue gives you peace of mind that you won't miss anything important. You can access the queue anytime within Slack using the /paco-track command, get a daily reminder, or access it on the web app.
We want Paco to become that trusty sidekick that makes you more effective, giving you more time to do epic things. It is learning new tricks fast. e.g. Coming soon -- a deep work mode where it saves you from all the 'quick questions', a dedicated queue for pull reminders and pending Jira tickers, and more.
Give it a try and let us know what you think!
p.s. We learnt today that we are featured as a 'New & Noteworthy' app by the Slack App Directory team. The timing couldn't be better.
