Slack Isn’t Built for True Async Work
Slack threads only feel productive in the moment.
But they’re terrible for long-term memory.
They get buried.
Derailed.
Disconnected from actual work.
Async teams need something more than “just using Slack better.”
They need continuity
➡️ Conversations tied to work items
➡️ Accessible after weeks or months
➡️ Organized and searchable by default
That’s how you keep context intact and your team unblocked.
