Description
Open Threads connects Slack, Jira, GitHub, email, calendar and documents, and turns what happens there into one explainable record of what needs you and why it's yours. It catches commitments nobody filed, orders work by who's blocked on you — not by due date — and tracks it until it's genuinely closed. No board to groom, no status to keep current: you just ask, and the answer is the work itself, evidence attached.

Could you build this?
Partial Connecting multiple third-party enterprise tools via OAuth and webhooks is standard, but cross-referencing dispersed work streams to reliably infer implicit obligations and blocker dependencies requires sophisticated cross-tool NLP and relationship graphing.
What it would actually take: Stack would involve OAuth integration services (Slack, Jira, GitHub, Gmail APIs), background event queues (Temporal/BullMQ), a graph database (Neo4j), and LLM extraction pipelines. The hard part is building reliable entity resolution and dependency extraction heuristics across unstructured messages and commit logs to deduce true blockers without generating overwhelming false positives.
