Warn me my new flight clashes with a recording that isn't even on my calendar

While Dan Shipper's Dot displayed research for changing his flight out of San Francisco, it warned the new option might overlap with his head of video's Wednesday morning recording. The recording was not on Shipper's calendar — the Dot had read an unseen Slack discussion, clocked the proposed schedule and alerted him at the moment it mattered; the rest of the column is paywalled.

How it works

  1. Research flight-change options
  2. Read a Slack discussion Shipper had not seen
  3. Extract a proposed Wednesday recording schedule
  4. Compare it with the flight options
  5. Warn him of the possible overlap while booking

Why it’s worth knowing

It caught a clash with an event that existed only in a Slack thread he'd never opened.
