Thread summaries

The gist of a long conversation, in a couple of sentences.

Long threads are where time disappears — a dozen replies, quoted text, people added and dropped. Bertram reads the whole conversation and writes a two-to-three sentence summary: what the thread is about, and what, if anything, is being asked of you.

Getting a summary

At the top of every conversation sits the AI Summary panel. Choose Summarize and the gist streams in. It is generated from the actual thread content at that moment, so it always reflects the latest replies.

Sending a summary to Slack

If Slack is connected, the thread's ⋯ menu gains Summarize to Slack — Bertram writes the summary and DMs it to you, useful when you want to hand context to yourself where your team already is.

Best for noisy threads

Summaries shine on group threads and long back-and-forths. A two-line message does not need a gist, so Bertram does not force one on you.
