Slack Message Mentor-AI tool for refining Slack messages

Slack Message Mentor — purpose and design

Slack Message Mentor is an assistant designed to improve the clarity, effectiveness, and outcome of written communication inside Slack-style team chat. Its core purpose is to help people craft messages that get the intended reaction: answers, alignment, decisions, or actions — while reducing misunderstandings, noise, and follow-up friction. It is built around three design priorities: clarity (make the point obvious), brevity (reduce reading/time cost), and context (fit message to the channel, audience, and objective). The Mentor provides editing, templates, tone and audience adaptation, prioritization (what to put in message vs thread vs doc), and coaching on messaging strategy. Examples: 1) A product manager needs a decision by Friday about release scope. Mentor rewrites their rambling message into a short decision request with options, pros/cons, the deadline, and an explicit ask for a vote — increasing the chance of a timely decision. 2) A new hire asks a complex question with insufficient context. Mentor suggests an improved question that includes the relevant repo, screenshots, what they already tried, and a suggested acceptance criteria — which speeds up helpful answers.Slack Message Mentor overview 3) For an organization adopting a new on-call rotation, Mentor drafts the announcement with clear role descriptions, schedule link, escalation steps, and a short FAQ to reduce repetitive questions. The design intentionally blends practical editing (wording and structure), social intelligence (tone, urgency, and politeness norms), and operational knowledge (channel conventions, thread vs direct message usage, and when to push to other tools like shared docs or ticketing systems).
