Transform Slack conversations about bugs or features into properly formatted GitHub issues with AI-generated summaries and automatic assignment.

Workflow Steps

1

Slack

Monitor specific channels for discussion triggers

Set up monitoring for specific emoji reactions (like :bug: or :feature:) or keywords in designated Slack channels. When triggered, capture the thread conversation and participant details.

2

OpenAI GPT-4

Analyze and summarize discussion into structured format

Process the Slack thread through GPT-4 to extract key points, identify the issue type (bug/feature), determine priority level, and create a structured summary with clear problem description and suggested next steps.

3

GitHub API

Create formatted issue with labels and details

Use GitHub's REST API to create a new issue with the AI-generated summary as description, appropriate labels based on issue type, and link back to the original Slack conversation.
