Channel digests are useful, but most decisions hide inside threads. A Slack thread summarizer should pull signal from the reply chain — not just the parent message.
Ask for a recap of this thread: decisions, dissent, and next steps without reading every emoji reaction.
Turn a sprawling design debate into a short list of owners, deadlines, and open questions.
No export to a doc, no paste into another chatbot. Summarize where the thread already lives.
