Building @slitehq - Your knowledge is a mess, we fix it

[Christophe Pasquier °} @Christophepas]

Today we're introducing Slite as the first self-maintaining Knowledge Base

Your wiki docs go outdated everyday, and your agents depend on them for your most ambitious workflows.

Slite monitors your docs' accuracy from all other work tools (slack, jira, linear, codebase, etc) while you sleep and updates them.

It even directly talks to your AI agents to give them accurate context without burning their context window or tool calls.

You've been trying to build this 'company brain' for months now with hacky MVPs

This is the final version of what you need, already built to be collaborative, headless, and secure.

Check it out and HMU if you need this for your team, I'll be running personal onboardings for the next few days!

An open-source Dots clone saves you the agent fee.

It also hands you three jobs the lab was doing for you.

The visual runs the same task through both: every morning at 7, read my email and calendar and send me a brief.

/1 The paid agent (Dots, Duet, Grok Bot, Muse)
The lab runs the computer, the model and the app connections, and the guardrails come built in: Duet asks before it sends, pays, signs or deletes. Your email and calendar do sit on their servers, though, and Meta says its staff can technically access Muse’s.

/2 The open-source clone (Open Duet, OpenDots, OpenMausBot)
The code is free, and these three jobs move to you:
→ Keep a machine running. That can be your laptop, which stops the agent when it sleeps, or a server you rent. OpenMausBot also sells a $49 cloud plan.
→ Pay for the model: your own API key, per use. Or run a local model and skip that bill.
→ Decide where your data goes. Self-hosting moves the server to you, but your emails still go to whichever model provider you plug in. Only a local model keeps them on hardware you control.

In return, it works where the labs haven't launched yet (Dots skipped the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, and Duet is a US waitlist), and you pick the model.

On price 💸 Grok Bot comes with paid SuperGrok and Cursor plans, and Anthropic hasn’t announced what Duet costs after the preview.

This compares who runs what, not how good the briefs are. I haven’t seen a side-by-side test of that yet.

If you already pay for ChatGPT or Claude, which would you pick? 🤨

[Slite @slitehq]

Slite Agent now answers from @meetgranola, @MiroHQ, @Box, and @mondaydotcom.

Ask Slite Agent about your meetings, boards and projects, right next to your knowledge base. Everyone can connect their own account, so answers only use what each person can see.

Set it up in one minute:
1. Go to Settings › Agent sources
2. Pick your source of choice
3. Click Connect and log in with your own account

Using another tool with an MCP server? Add it as a custom source and Slite Agent answers from that too.

@cjpedregal The MacOS version is so freaking good, amazing work!

[Christophe Pasquier °} @Christophepas]

Humans *still* read docs.

So we added support for cover images in @slitehq MCP.

Pair it with your brand skills + image gen tool and enjoy the most beautiful docs you've ever had 🤤

[Christophe Pasquier °} @Christophepas]

Is HTML going to replace Screenshots in your docs?

That's what @OpenAI started to do in https://t.co/8cSitaOgqM for instance, feels like the future.

So I gave it a try for our docs since Slite supports Html artefacts in its docs

[Christophe Pasquier °} @Christophepas]

@jcsamuelian @hey_its_pc That’s what we build (release this month) at @slitehq ;)

I'd be SO curious to see the share of usage of the unexpected features Slack keeps adding
- Who uses canvas
- Who uses their workflows
- Who uses their lists
- Who will use their CRM
(probably missing some)

[Slack @SlackHQ]

Move every deal forward together, without leaving the conversation.

Slack CRM is the conversational AI CRM built into Slack and Slackbot preps your calls, captures contacts and updates records for you.

Built for small teams getting started with CRM. Watch a lead go from web form to meeting prep to closed deal, all in Slack.

Can’t get ChatGPT Dots or Claude Duet where you live?

These 6 open-source clones already run on your own setup.

OpenAI launched ChatGPT Dots without the EEA, Switzerland and the UK. Claude Duet is a US waitlist for Pro and Max subscribers, Meta launched Muse in the US, and xAI’s Grok Bot sits behind paid plans. So most of Europe is watching from the sidelines.

GitHub didn't wait. 6 clones that stood out to me, sorted by stars:

/1 OpenBot (CopilotKit), copies Grok Bot
A team of bots in a Slack-style app, each in its own container. Every action passes a policy check and lands in an audit log. 7.2K stars, MIT.

/2 Open Duet (Anil Matcha), copies Duet, Dots, Muse and Grok Bot
Named agents with memory, routines, an isolated computer and approval gates. 6.2K stars, Apache 2.0.

/3 OpenDots (CopilotKit), copies Dots
Self-hosted Dots with any OpenAI-compatible model, Slack mentions and scheduled tasks. Chat history needs a licence for CopilotKit Intelligence. 6.1K stars, MIT.

/4 OpenMausBot, copies Grok Bot, Dots and Muse
Runs bots through the official Claude, Codex or Grok CLI, on a login you already have. It stops when your machine sleeps, unless it runs on a server or their $49 cloud plan. 5.7K stars, Apache 2.0.

/5 OpenMuse (CopilotKit), copies Muse
One agent with a persistent browser, terminal, files, Gmail and Calendar. 5.7K stars, MIT.

/6 nanoMuse, copies Muse
One named agent across phone, tablet, desktop and browser, using the screen as its hands. 2.7K stars, GPL-3.0.

One thing to know before you set one up: self-hosting moves the server to you, but your prompts and context still go to whichever model you plug in. A local model, through something like Ollama, keeps everything on hardware you control, and there’s no API bill.

I left two popular ones out on purpose, invisible_dots markets itself as undetectable by anti-bot systems, and Open Dot has no licence file yet.

Mind that this visual is a snapshot, not a ranking.

Which one would you try first? 🤔

[Christophe Pasquier °} @Christophepas]

@heyblake @Superhuman Honestly reading your post I was so tempted 😅

*but no chris, come on you have a massive launch coming up and already 2 side projects to finish*

[Christophe Pasquier °} @Christophepas]

@AarushYadav47 But isn’t half the pleasure to yell at your agent?

[Slite @slitehq]

The scariest thing in your team's stack this Halloween?

An AI that answers from a two-year-old document, and sounds completely sure about it 👻

Slite Agent dressed our team up based on how we keep our knowledge.

Open Slite Agent to find yours (dark mode has an extra treat 🌙)

[Slite @slitehq]

How much of your company's documentation would you trust an AI agent to act on?

That's one of the questions in our survey for our next playbook: how teams keep company knowledge accurate enough for people and AI to trust.

If you own documentation on your team, or you're rolling out AI on top of it, we'd like to hear how you do it. It takes about 10 minutes, and you'll see the findings before anyone else.

Take the survey: https://t.co/YOve3Ww2XE

Prefer to talk it through? There's a link to book a 30-min call at the end, and everyone we interview gets a gift card. 🎁

Someone in the marketing team got a little too excited

[Femke Plantinga @femke_plantinga]

Amazon’s site went down after an AI agent read an old wiki document.

But how many of those documents do we all have? 👀

In March, Amazon’s retail site had four high-severity incidents in one week. One traced back to an engineer following AI advice that came from an outdated internal wiki.

AI agents now read our documentation and act on it, but a lot of teams can’t say which pages are still up to date.

You’d expect AI to make this easier. In practice it makes it trickier: agents answer from an old page just as confidently as from a current one, and they write new pages faster than anyone can check them.

Usually someone on the team keeps updating the documentation, often without it being their actual job.

That’s what our next research piece at @slitehq is about: how teams keep their knowledge accurate enough to trust, for people and for AI.

The survey for our last ebook, on company brains, got so many great responses and interviews. If this topic speaks to you, I’d love your experience and opinions in this one too.

Here’s the 10-min survey: https://t.co/pPR1QtgMSr

If you’d rather talk it through, there’s a link to book a call at the end, and everyone who does an interview gets a gift card 🎁 💸

Using Jev to classify an 8 yo workspace with ~20k docs cost 1$

I could get used to these kind of bills anymore 😅

[Christophe Pasquier °} @Christophepas]

Quality of life improvement for Slite

When you get notified of a change, you land on the history view, and see exactly who changed what, when, via which agent.

I've never seen any other doc tool do this, and I could not come back.

@emilkowalski Legendary work

[Bijan Sabet @bijan]

Using France's fiscal problems to argue against voting for Democrats feels off base. Just look at where American innovation thrives: California, Massachusetts, New York and Washington

We can protect innovation, reduce deficits by tackling corruption, tax breaks for the wealthy and costly wars, fight inflation & still build a compassionate society that protects the most vulnerable

(Oh and I love France. This isn't a dig at France. If it shifts hard right, I suspect things will get way worse. But that's a post for another day)
