What it does

Gives anyone an instant exec brief of a Coda doc's comment threads, on demand. An operator triggers it from Slack with a doc link, and within seconds receives a reply summarizing every thread on that doc into decisions made and questions still open, without manually reading the conversation.

When to use it

Use before a meeting or status update when you need the current state of a doc's discussion right now, rather than waiting for a scheduled digest. Good for ad-hoc prep on any doc, not just ones you track daily.

How it works

  1. 1An inbound request arrives with a Coda doc link.
  2. 2Resolve the link and fetch all comment threads on that doc.
  3. 3Summarize the threads with OpenAI into a Decisions section and an Open Questions section.
  4. 4If the doc has no comment activity, return a short no-discussion notice instead.
  5. 5Post the brief back to the requesting Slack channel as a threaded reply.
