- Surface explicit blockers in the moment.
- Separate stated risks from interpretation.
- Spend less time scanning routine project updates.
Setup

- 1Connect Slack and Gemini to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to summarize risks from Slack project messages.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to define which blockers, dependencies, and decisions Gemini should identify.
- 4Select the Channel Message Received trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real project update that includes a blocker or dependency.
