What Cole does in Slack
From task tracking to team coordination - Cole keeps your workspace running.
Channel & DM Support
Cole works in Slack channels and DMs. Mention @Cole in a channel or message directly - it understands both contexts.
Task Management
Say 'Cole, track this as a task for Sarah due Friday' and it creates, assigns, and follows up on tasks without leaving Slack.
Automated Follow-Ups
Cole watches for stale threads and unanswered questions. It nudges the right people at the right time so nothing gets lost.
Team Coordination
Cole tracks who is working on what, surfaces blockers, and keeps async teams aligned - like a project manager in your Slack.
Cross-Channel Continuity
Start something in your private Slack chat with Cole and pick it up in your private WhatsApp chat. Notes carry over, along with a short list of the last 24 hours; each channel and group keeps its own.
Your Apps, Connected
Connect your calendar, email, CRM and other apps, and Cole uses them from Slack. No Zapier needed - just tell Cole what you need.
