Overview

readywhen listens across Slack, email, meetings and documents for the moments where someone commits to something, then prepares the brief, reply or update that commitment implies and waits for approval. Its own description is the clearest one: not a to-do list, a done list.

The approval boundary is the design decision that makes it usable. An agent that acts autonomously on inferred commitments is a liability in any organisation with clients, while one that arrives with the work already drafted and asks before sending removes the effort without removing the judgement.

It is in beta and free and unlimited for now, with no pricing announced, which means the eventual cost is unknown. Passive monitoring of every channel is a significant privacy posture that needs organisational agreement first, and inferring a commitment from conversation is exactly the sort of judgement these systems still get wrong.

Key features
