Extract action items from Slack — with owners and due dates
SignalOps reads your channels and lifts out the action items — who agreed to do what, by when — from how people actually phrased it. No meeting bot, no manual entry, no one asked to file a task.
Reads Slack, Teams, Discord and Linear, Jira, Asana, ClickUp.
Not from a meeting. From what your team already typed.
Most tools that promise action items record a call and transcribe it. SignalOps never joins a call. It reads the written conversation — where most commitments in a distributed team are actually made — and extracts the action items from it.
If you arrived here thinking about a notetaker: this is the opposite. Nothing is recorded, no bot appears in your meeting, and it works retroactively over messages that were sent days ago.
Action items, in context
Action items come out alongside the decisions, risks and questions around them — so a task is never orphaned from why it exists:
Decisions
What the team actually settled — with a link straight back to the message where it happened. The decision that lived in four messages and then disappeared under the next thousand is now a record you can find in six months.
Action items
Who agreed to do what, by when. Owner hints and due dates are lifted from how people really phrased it ("I'll take this by Friday"), not from a form nobody fills in.
Risks
The concern someone raised in passing and everyone moved past. SignalOps keeps it, so a risk mentioned once in a thread does not have to become an incident before anyone looks at it again.
Open questions
Things asked that got no answer in the conversation — the cheapest problems to fix while they are still just questions. Unanswered blockers are surfaced instead of quietly aging.
One evidence base, from two kinds of source
This is what makes SignalOps different. The AI you already pay for is stuck in one room: Slack AI only sees Slack, your tracker only sees tickets. SignalOps reads both your conversation and your work tracker, and — crucially — joins them. The decision argued out in a Slack thread and the Linear issue it concerns become one connected story, not two disconnected fragments.
Joined, not just collected
Deduplicated across sources
The same issue raised in a Slack thread and filed in Jira collapses into one signal — you see the problem once, with both sources attached, not twice.
Message linked to ticket
SignalOps knows that this conversation is about that Linear issue, and links them deterministically. The context and the work item travel together.
Correlated into groups
Related signals across channels and projects are correlated and grouped, so a problem that shows up in three places reads as one thing, not three.
Real delivery metrics
Connect a tracker and the delivery lens uses actual cycle-time — how long work really took — instead of a guess.
Action items FAQ
Does it need to record a meeting?
No. It reads written chat, never audio. No bot joins any call.
Where do the owners and due dates come from?
From the language of the message itself — "I'll take this by Friday" becomes an action item with an owner hint and a due date.
Can it turn a Slack message into a tracker task?
SignalOps reads both your chat and your tracker and links them, so an action raised in Slack is connected to the work item it belongs to.

- Decided in chat, never filed in JiraThe gap between what the team agreed and what the tracker knows — measured, with the items named.
- Find project blockers your team already wrote downThe question nobody answered, the client you are waiting on, the ticket that stopped moving — found in the conversation and the tracker.
- A software delivery audit, without the interviewsWhere work waits, who owes whom and the one bottleneck to fix — read from what the team already wrote.
- Slack channel summaries — structured, not AI proseStructured, filterable channel summaries — decisions, risks and action items across Slack, Teams, Discord and your trackers, not a paragraph you lose.
- Spoke.ai alternative — AI for Slack and your trackersSpoke.ai was acquired and folded into Slack. SignalOps is the independent successor: AI for Slack, Teams and Discord plus your trackers, with typed signals.
- Decision log for Microsoft Teams channels, not meetingsSignalOps reads your Microsoft Teams channels and keeps a decision log automatically — from written conversation, not recordings — linked to your tracker.
- Slack analytics for private channels — content, not countsSlack's own analytics counts messages. SignalOps reads what is inside the private channels you invite it to — decisions, risks, action items — and never DMs.
