NewMeeting transcripts now turn into records

Your team already decided. Now you’ll remember why.

Because reads the threads where your team makes calls, writes each decision down with its reasons, and answers “why did we…?” six months later, with the receipts.

Free for one team. Connect Slack in about two minutes.

Listens where your team already decides

The decision took 40 messages. Finding it again takes 40 minutes.

Decisions don’t live anywhere. They’re scattered across threads, tickets and calls, and they leave when the people who made them do.

The reasons, the losing options, and the thread they came from. Still there after Lena leaves.

Three steps, and only one of them is yours.

Because does the noticing and the writing. Your team does the one thing software shouldn’t do alone: agree that it’s right.

  1. Catch

    It listens to the channels you connect and notices when a conversation turns into a decision: a choice named, a reason given, people agreeing.

  2. Confirm

    The people in the thread get a draft record. One tap to confirm, edit, or throw it away. Nothing is settled until a person says so.

  3. Ask

    Anyone can ask “why did we…?” in plain words, from Slack or the web, and get the decision, its reasons, and who was in the room.

Ask it the question you’d ask the person who left.

This is a working search over a sample log from Pawpaw, a made-up grocery app. Type the way you’d ask a teammate.

Results update as you type. Use the arrow keys to move between decisions.

Every team makes calls. Few of them write the reasons down.

Pick a team to see the kind of question Because answers for them.

Stop re-litigating last quarter’s roadmap.

When someone asks why a feature was cut, the answer is one search away, with the data that cut it.

It reads your threads, so it’s built to forget most of them.

Messages that don’t become a record are never stored. Records stay visible only to people who could see the original thread.

Same permissions as the source

A record from a private channel is only visible to that channel’s members, and it updates when they change.

Nothing kept by default

Messages are read in memory and discarded. Only the quoted lines in a confirmed record are saved.

Your region, your rules

Pick EU or US hosting, set retention per workspace, and export everything whenever you like.

Your first record takes one tap

Write down the why while everyone still remembers it.

Free for one team. Connect Slack in about two minutes, and the first real record usually shows up the same day.
