slack thread summary

march 23, 2023 | other prompts →

Everyone has those days — you jump onto Slack early in the morning and see that a post you made the day prior has blown up with 30+ thread replies. This prompt will help you burn through your missed threads and ensure you’re up-to-date without having to read a million messages, piece together conclusions, and identify follow ups… all before you get a sip of coffee ☕.

Recommended AI model: GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 (Access both via ChatGPT)

prompt I’m going to send you the contents of a Slack thread in brackets. [ PASTE ALL POSTS FROM SLACK THREAD IN BRACKETS ] Read the thread and provide me with the following: 1. A general summary of the thread, covering everything discussed. 2. The names of all participants alongside details on their contributions to the thread. 3. A bullet list of any conclusions drawn in the thread. 4. A bullet list of anything discussed that requires follow up. Provide specific names of the people I need to follow up with, if able.

what to expect ChatGPT will provide you with the requested items, allowing you to review the contents of the thread, participants and their contributions, and any conclusions or follow ups necessary. If there are specific takeaways or information you’d like ChatGPT to attempt to glean from the thread, appending additional bullet points onto the prompt with these requests should work wonderfully. Consider asking additional clarifying questions after receiving your first response. This will be especially useful when trying to digest extremely large threads that may have many divergences of conversation.
