For teams whose work changes faster than their docs

Documentation that keeps itself current.

Optimuo turns scattered Slack updates into approved, audit-trailed changes to your living documents — so distributed teams always know what's current, and where it came from.

Quick QA question — am I supposed to be checking against the 1k token max or the older 800?
PS
Priya S. 9:14 AM
@optimuo Max response length should be 1,000 tokens for all production tasks. Effective immediately.
Optimuo APP 9:14 AM
Got it — does this apply to all production task types, or only the coding pool?

Priya S. 9:15 AM

The problem

Process drift is silent.
The bill isn't.

A process is documented in Google Docs on day one. By week three, it's been updated in three Slack threads, two emails, and a manager's head. The doc never caught up. Now your team is working from yesterday's truth — and the cost shows up everywhere: rework, escalations, missed SLAs, contracts you shouldn't have lost.

Tuesday, 9:14 AM

Maya, a contractor, opens the spec doc to start her shift. It hasn't been touched since launch. She bills the next four hours under the old rubric — the one with the deprecated formatting rules and last quarter's quality threshold.

On Friday, her batch is rejected in QA. Her manager opens Slack, scrolls back, and finds the rule change — buried in a thread from 1 week ago.

Multiply Maya by five thousand. That's a single project on a single Tuesday.

It's not just contractors. Anywhere a team operates from a shared rulebook — support, compliance, sales enablement, content moderation, field operations, customer success — process drift turns into rework, escalations, and refunds you didn't have to give.

$90/hr

A typical contractor rate. Every confused hour while someone works from stale information is real money on the floor.

~hours

How long until initial documentation has materially drifted from how the work actually gets done.

0

Number of teams that can reliably catch every process change buried in a Slack thread.

How it works

From Slack message to source of truth, in under a minute.

No new tool to learn. Managers flag changes the same way they already do — in Slack. Optimuo handles the rest, and the doc stays current even when it changes five times a day.

01 Tag the bot in Slack

A manager mentions @optimuo in any working channel — paste the change, hit send. That's it.

Jamie Chen 9:14 AM
@optimuo Coding tasks now require a 200-token minimum response, not 150. Effective Monday.
02 AI confirms the details

Optimuo asks short, targeted clarifying questions if the change is ambiguous — and skips them entirely when it isn't.

Optimuo APP
Got it — does the 200-token minimum apply to all task types, or only the coding pool?
03 Approve the proposed change

You see the exact diff before anything is written. One click to apply, one click to cancel. No surprises, no hallucinations.

Minimum response length: 200 tokens (eff. Mon May 11)
04 Document updates · audit trail logged

The living doc updates instantly. The mirror Slack channel reflects the new version. Every change is logged with a backlink to the original message — even if it's the fifth change today.

What you get

Built for the messy reality
of distributed work.

AI-clarified updates

Optimuo asks only the questions it actually needs. No ambiguity, no hallucinated edits — every change is reviewed before it touches the doc.

Slack-native workflow

No new tool to learn. Managers flag changes where they already work. The bot does the rest, in the same thread.

Full audit trail

Every change is logged with a timestamp, an author, and a backlink to the Slack message that triggered it. Complete provenance, every time.

Read-only Slack mirror

A dedicated channel mirrors the live document. Your team sees the current version where they already are — no link-clicking required.

Approval workflow

Nothing changes without an explicit human sign-off. The button click is the trust gate — not the AI's judgment.

Google Drive export

One-way sync to Drive for backup, external sharing, and the "we still have it in Docs" peace of mind. Optimuo stays the source of truth.

Spotlight · RLHF agencies

When every hour is billable, every spec matters.

AI training agencies are the canonical example. They run on contractors — hundreds of them, often thousands — working on tasks where the rubric changes weekly and the rate sheet changes monthly. One outdated paragraph turns into a rejected batch. A rejected batch turns into a renegotiated contract.

Optimuo was built with this failure mode in mind. The teams getting it right are the ones that closed the gap between "the manager knows" and "the contractor knows."

~$12M

Annualized exposure of a single 5,000-contractor project losing just 30 minutes per contractor per week to stale specs. At $90/hr.

11×

Faster from "spec changed" to "every contractor has the update" vs. forwarding Slack threads manually.

100%

Of changes carry an immutable backlink to the source Slack message — for QA review, dispute resolution, and contract audits.

~30s

Median time from manager mention to approved, applied, mirrored update.

Figures illustrate typical engagement profiles. Your numbers will vary with team size, contractor rate, and update cadence. The same playbook applies to support operations, compliance teams, content moderation, sales enablement, and any other distributed function where process drift has a price tag.

Pricing

Pricing that scales with your audience.

Pay for projects, not seats. Tiers scale with your audience size — every plan ships with the full feature set.

A project is a self-contained workspace — its own docs, audience, mirror channel, and approval flow. Most teams run one project per major engagement.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Where does our data live, and who can see it?
Your documents and audit trail are stored on US-region infrastructure (or EU-region, on Enterprise). Access is restricted to your workspace's members. Slack tokens are encrypted at rest. We never train models on customer data, and document content is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) only at the moment of a manager's update — never for background processing.
How accurate is the AI? What if it gets the change wrong?
The AI never applies changes — it proposes them. Every update goes to a manager for explicit approval, and the proposal is shown as a precise before/after diff. If the proposal is wrong, you cancel; nothing happens. The trust gate is the human click, not the model's confidence.
What integrations do you support today?
Slack (full bot + OAuth) and Google Drive (one-way export). Microsoft Teams and Notion sync are on the near-term roadmap; reach out if you need either for a specific deployment.
Who owns the documents we create in Optimuo?
You do — fully and exclusively. You can export everything (documents, full version history, complete audit trail) to Google Drive or as a structured archive at any time, on every plan. If you cancel, your data is yours to take with you.
Can we restrict who's allowed to propose changes via Slack?
On Team and Enterprise, you control which Slack users have permission to trigger updates. Anyone outside the allowlist gets a polite "you don't have permission" reply. On Starter, anyone in your Slack workspace who's been invited to the bot's channels can propose — every change still requires explicit approval before it's applied.
How do you count users for billing?
We count users who viewed the document or its mirror channel in the past 30 days. Inactive accounts don't count, and users who roll off your project drop out of the count automatically — you're never paying for ghosts. If your audience grows past your tier, we'll prompt you to upgrade rather than charging you mid-cycle.
What if a doc changes five times in one day?
Then your doc changes five times in one day — that's the normal case for live FAQs, work requirements, and rate sheets. Each change is its own approval, its own changelog entry, and its own backlink. The mirror channel re-renders. The team sees the new version immediately. No batching, no end-of-day digest where things get lost.
How long does setup take?
About fifteen minutes. Install the Slack app, paste in your existing documentation, point the bot at the right channels, and you're live. We'll do this together on the demo if you want.
Are you SOC 2 compliant?
SOC 2 Type I is in progress and on track for completion this year. We can share our security posture document and DPA on request, and customize data residency and retention controls for Enterprise contracts.
