Give launch ideas a useful first evaluation
Move from an exciting Slack idea to a structured first look at who it helps and what to test.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Assistant Run Creation
Tool to initiate a new assistant run. Use when starting a fresh execution with custom arguments or resources after selecting the assistant.
Why this helps
Ideas can accumulate faster than a founder can assess which ones deserve another hour of attention.
- Make an early assessment easier to start.
- Surface assumptions before committing time.
- Suggest a small, practical experiment.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Griptape to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Automations or tell Notis your goal in a conversation.
- 3Describe in one instruction which launch ideas should start a Griptape run and request an audience, assumptions, and test suggestion.
- 4Select Slack Channel Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real launch idea and review the evaluation.
Questions about this workflow
Will this decide whether we launch?
No. Ask Griptape for an initial evaluation and use the result to inform your decision.
Can the evaluation include a time limit?
