Flow over time

The problem

Async work waits invisibly.

Teams rarely stall because no one's working. They stall because work waits — unanswered mentions, stale decisions, reviews nobody picked up. Meanwhile the day fills with interruptions.

Personal status

A softer Slack status that sets itself.

Currant reads your real response pace, focus, and load — and sets a status that tells teammates what to expect. No manual updates, no explaining yourself.

Fresh Flowing Slammed Deep Away

Fresh — replies normal.
Flowing — usually within a couple of hours.
Slammed — heavy load; a good moment to send clear, complete requests.
Deep — in focus, low bandwidth.

You're in Deep focus until 1:00 PM. Replies may be slower than usual.

Protect the constraint

When someone's slammed, help the work land.

When you open a DM with a teammate who's Slammed or in Deep focus, Currant adds a gentle, private hint — so your message arrives ready to act on.

Protecting the busiest person's attention is how the whole team keeps moving.

Maya's slammed right now. Worth sending everything she needs in one go — context, links, and the specific ask — so it can move without back-and-forth.

Privacy

Your status, your call.

You turn it on

Currant activates per person — you choose to use it.

You stay in control

Override any status, snooze, or pause anytime.

It's yours

In v1, only you see your status change.

Currant reads messages only to spot @mentions and replies — it stores that a mention happened and whether it was answered, never the message content. It doesn't read your DMs. Read our privacy approach →

For teams

See where async work is waiting.

Currant surfaces stuck threads, stale decisions, growing queues, and the people carrying too much — as a picture of the system, so you know where to reroute or unblock. We measure waiting, not people.

For engineering leaders

Flow visibility for async teams.

As more work goes async — and as AI agents generate more drafts, tickets, and requests — the bottleneck shifts to human decisions: approvals, reviews, risk calls. Currant connects the queues across Slack, GitHub, and Linear so you can see where a release is actually waiting, before it slips.

How we're different

A different question: where is work waiting?

Calendar/status sync: “In a meeting.”

“Response pace is slow because the queue is high.”

Jira/Linear: “Task in progress.”

“Task is waiting on a decision buried in Slack.”

Eng-metrics tools: “Here's what shipped.”

“Here's where work is waiting right now.”

Reminder bots: “You forgot to reply.”

“This queue is aging and may block flow.”
