Ops (Slack)

Ops is a Slack app for product and engineering: run /prd, /summarize, or /actions inside a thread and get AI-generated artifacts you can post back to the same thread.

Why it is useful

  • Turns Slack threads into structured PM outputs: PRD, summary, or action items.
  • Thread-only slash commands with ephemeral previews and post-to-thread actions.
  • Built with TypeScript, Slack Bolt, and OpenAI for reliable team workflows.

What surprised me

I used to treat Slack's DM-with-myself as a scratchpad for drafts. With Ops, that same space turned into where I preview agent output. A quiet, persistent thread that's become a real product surface for one person in Slack.

On paper you could dismiss "a conversation with yourself" as pointless; in practice it's disproportionately useful.

Commands

  • /prd: PRD draft from the thread
  • /summarize: Thread summary
  • /actions: Action items
