"We do not collect any information from any channels nor do we collect any direct messages that you send to us"

Nitpicky but you are obviously collecting all the messages in the channel onto your server in order to process them. Not collecting any information implies that it is either self-hosted or a client-side operation.

Thanks for raising this concern. To make it clearer, we do collect the data to do processing but then we delete the conversations and the executive summaries we generate after sending them to our users.

Parent commenter is very modest to call it "nitpicky" - I don't think it is at all.

You might not _store_ the data, but you absolutely do "collect" it.

(Nitpicky would be "well... you do store it at least a little while; even if only in RAM".)

You are absolutely right. I am going to update our privacy policy to make sure it is clear to users.

Not to necro-post, but your landing page still claims you don't collect any conversations.

I pushed the changes today. Corrected content should be live now. Thanks for the note!

That diff must look hilarious..

    - we do not collect your information
    + we collect your information

I am no security eggspert but I think if you encrypt them while they are waiting on disk to be processed then decrypt them in memory only to process them anD then delete from memory and delete from disk, you will have a better claim to privacy. Also, must transport over SSL.

Thanks for the suggestion! I do some more research and explore this option. :)

This looks very cool!

But I just closed the tab on your signup form because it doesn't tell me whether there is a free trial. Thought I would mention it since I'm sure others may have the same reaction.

Hi gassk929, there's a two-week free trial! You can just put your HN id somewhere in the signup form and we will give you access to this to try out. :)

Reminds me of FOMO bot by Thoughtbot https://github.com/thoughtbot/FOMObot

I thought that too after listening to the podcast episode recently. Didn't realise it was open source though, thanks!

Interesting, haven't heard of it before. Thanks for the link! Afer reading their Github page, the differentiation between Brighty and FOMO is that Brighty consolidates messages into structure information. This helps users read only the important information with little effort.

You spelled "you're" wrong. It should be "your."

Your tense on "RELAXED" is wrong, it should be "RELAX"

"SIT BACK AND RELAXED

You can sit back and relax while Brighty summarizes all your messages. At the end of the day you're executive summary will be ready."

Thank you late2part for catching these errors. We obviously didn't do a good job proofreading our content. We just updated the website right now. Thanks again :)

Look pretty cool! Somehow between work and personal groups, the number of Slack teams I'm on has multiplied greatly. I'm guessing this might be more for intra-team Slack summaries but if it ever lives across teams, it would be awesome! I miss messages constantly.

How much time can you save me each day? What format do I get the summaries in?

We save managers around an hour per day. We message you directly via a bot. Check out this example: http://enterprise.brighty.io/#features

Small typo on the homepage - it should be "At the end of the day your executive summary will be ready."

Sorry this comment had to be about grammatical errors - otherwise great concept

Thanks so much for catching this! :) We would love to have you try out our product. Just put your HN id somewhere in the signup form and we will give you access immediately.

This is exactly what I have been looking for! I wonder whether this is all NLP or it's a combination of NLP and operators?

We do a combination of both to ensure the accuracy of our summaries. We want to enable users like you to stay on top of information without having to read and filter a lot of noises. Give it a try and let us help you!

Do you have a free trial that I can check out?

Yep, you can just fill out the form and we will give you a two-week trial to check out our product!

One more small typo - "SIT BACK AND RELAXED". Should be Relax.

Thanks gsharma! :)

Congrats! It looks promising!
