AI Slack Triage to Surface What Matters

Zero scans your unread Slack messages, filters out bots and noise, and shows only the messages that need your action today, sorted by urgency.

What Zero delivers

What the problem is

You open Slack after a 2-hour focus block and there are 47 unread messages across 12 channels. Most are bot notifications, automated alerts, and conversations that don't need you. Somewhere in the noise are 3 things that actually need your response. Instead of scrolling through everything, you ask Zero to find what matters.

Step 2: Ask Zero

@Zero scan my unread Slack messages from the last 12 hours. Filter out bots, automated notifications, and threads I'm not tagged in. Show me only messages that need my action today, sorted by urgency. For each one, tell me who's waiting and what they need.
Zero scans your channels
Zero reads your unread messages across all channels, filtering out bot messages, automated CI/CD alerts, and threads where you're not mentioned or needed.
Messages classified by urgency
Each remaining message is assessed: is someone waiting on you? Is there a deadline? Is it a decision that's blocking others? Zero ranks them by how urgently they need your response.
Actionable summary delivered
Zero DMs you a numbered list of what needs attention, with who's asking, what they need, and a direct link to each thread. Everything else is safely ignored.

Step 3: Take it further

Reply through Zero
Respond without opening each thread
@Zero reply to #1: "Looks good, approved. Ship it." And for #3, create a P0 Linear issue and assign to James.
Make it a routine
Auto-triage every morning
@Zero every weekday at 9am, scan my unreads from overnight and DM me the action items.

Tips for better results

Tell Zero which channels matter most to you so it can prioritize accordingly.
Ask Zero to learn your noise patterns over time: "always skip messages from @github-bot and @vercel-bot".
Combine with the standup use case: triage first, then generate your standup from the action items.
