Your words. A routine that follows through.
The work repeats. The setup shouldn’t.
Turn a plain-language request into a reminder or an AI channel summary. Pulse prepares the plan; you decide when it starts. A focused set of routines, close to the conversations that give them meaning.
A reminder, right where the work happens.
Use a one-time reminder for a deadline, or a recurring message for a weekly check-in. A clear prompt keeps the channel, message, and schedule together. It helps a team remember the small commitments that are easy to lose between meetings.
Try this prompt“Every Monday at 9:00, remind #launch to share this week’s priorities.”
- Choose the destination channel and time zone.
- Review the message before activating it.
- Use one-time, daily, or weekly schedules.
A channel brief on your schedule.
Schedule an AI summary for a regular handoff or team review. Instead of asking someone to reconstruct the conversation, Pulse turns recent channel context into a brief the team can check against its sources. AI must be enabled for the workspace, and usage limits still apply.
Try this prompt“Every Friday at 16:00, summarize #launch for the team.”
- Keep the brief in the channel it describes.
- Review the source context before acting.
- Use it for handoffs and recurring reviews—not guaranteed exhaustive reporting.
One list. A clear next action.
The automation list is the control surface: review drafts, activate a routine, pause it, or inspect its status. You do not need to draw a workflow diagram for these supported tasks.
- Preparation does not activate the plan.
- Workspace administrators control whether automations can run.
- AI summaries require both automation and AI permission.
Simplicity is the point.
Pulse deliberately starts with reminders and scheduled channel summaries. It does not currently offer arbitrary multi-step workflows, a connector marketplace, CRM updates, or a general-purpose autonomous agent. Its difference is the focused path from a conversation to a reviewable routine—not a claim that other products lack AI.
Compare without shortcuts
Pulse and Slack, honestly.
Slack already offers automations and AI. Pulse takes a more focused approach to everyday routines. The better fit depends on the work you need to do.
