Polido for Slack
Rewrite Slack messages in place, before you hit send
Type the rushed version, double-tap right ⌘, and send the clear one. Polido finds the asks buried in a paragraph and makes each one answerable, without making it formal or adding things you did not say.
Then type anywhere and double-tap right ⌘
Free: 100 rewrites in your first two weeks, then 20 a month. Pro is $10 a month for 500 ($8 billed annually).
Before and after
Real recordings from the shipping app, on the free plan.
You type
hey quick q, sorry to bother, is the build still on for thursday? also we still need the art assets, and can you confirm if QA has bandwidth this sprint
Polido sends
hey, a few things: 1. is the build still on for thursday? 2. we still need the art assets, any idea when those land? 3. does QA have bandwidth this sprint?
It keeps your tone
Lower case stays lower case. It still sounds like you typed it, just clearer.
Asks become answerable
Three questions in one run-on become three lines someone can reply to.
Tab to adjust
Press Tab and type “shorter” or “friendlier”, then Return.
Questions
- Does it work in the Slack desktop app and in the browser?
- Yes. Polido works wherever you type, including the Slack app and Slack in a browser.
- Will it make my messages sound corporate?
- No. For Slack it keeps your register. Pick Casual, Neutral or Formal with 1, 2 or 3 if you want to change it.
- Does it send anything to Slack?
- No. It rewrites the text in your message field. You still read it and press send.
