Slack

Slack is a really powerful app that turns communication into something you can actually manage. Instead of important conversations getting buried in email threads or scattered across random group chats, Slack conversations live in channels that are searchable, organized, and easy to revisit when you need them.

Where Slack really shines for remote work is the way it supports quick communication without scheduling a whole meeting. Huddles are a perfect example. They’re built for those “can we talk for two minutes?” moments, and Slack even gives you a dedicated thread during a huddle so you can share notes, links, and files without losing them afterward. Additionally, Slack is expanding AI-powered huddle notes on paid plans, capturing takeaways and action items almost automatically.

Slack is also great at keeping a large number of conversations well-organized. You can have different channels set up for different purposes, or even different clients. That way, you and your team can spend less time hunting for information and more time actually working.
