Be Awesome

Awesome is a Slack bot that helps teams stay in sync, cut through the noise, and uncover insights.

We believe that by embracing natural communication and leaving overhead to bots, we can focus on being Awesome to each other. ✨

Let’s take a look at some hypothetical “Not Awesome” scenarios and how our customers completely avoid them with Awesome:

Not Awesome

Being shoulder-tapped for status updates right when you get in the zone.

Yeeeah if you could send your status to me by end of day, that would be great…

Awesome

Jotting down what you’re up to in the moment with Worklog and relying on Awesome to make it available to coworkers and channels.

A great tool to keep everyone on track without disrupting anyone’s day.
We spend less time on chasing each other’s progress/status, thus have more time to dedicate to actual tasks.
- Matthew Morek, MADBIT Co.

When bots handle our status updates, we have more time for...whatever this is.

Not Awesome

Having a question about a project but spending way too much time deciding how and where to share it.

Awesome

Knowing your questions, project updates, and cat GIFs all have their place with Sidebars: Awesome-facilitated spaces that encourage summarization and focused discussion.

We are able to make decisions quickly with sidebars.
- Nick Frühling, Chimp

An easy to use meeting manager which we can use as a team to structure breakouts and discussions.
- Benjamin Hindson, Marsh

This project’s Sidebar looks relevant for my question.

Not Awesome

Your team has shared ideas and opinions aplenty, but no one’s made a definitive call on how to move forward.

Awesome

Let your team know where you stand by adding a lightweight Highlight to any message to signify decisions, questions, importance, or recognition.

Being able to “take notes” in Slack via reactions is a massive addition to the utility. Adding messages to Recaps via reactions is a beautiful idea.
- Eric Bailey, Barrel

So decisive! Awesome keeps track of Highlights in weekly Recaps.

Not Awesome

Manually cobbling together messages, meeting notes and status reports to piece together what your team did this week.

Awesome

A quick read through your team’s Recap gets you up to speed on decisions, summaries, and accomplishments. You share it with your team to reflect on the week and look like a genius.

Take a look, it’s in a Recap. Spaceship not included.

Awesome is one of our co-workers. You know, the nice kind.
- Otto Sarvamaa, Scotch & Co.

Thanks to Matthew Morek, Otto Sarvamaa, David Marquez, Eric Bailey, Nick Frühling, and Benjamin Hindson for being Awesome and sharing testimonials. You’re rad.
