Everything behind a decision, in one place
Stop rebuilding context from Slack threads and old docs. Slate keeps the spec, the research and the reasoning together.
Specs that cite their sources
Type / to embed an interview clip, a chart or a past decision. Embeds stay live when the source changes.
Checkout v2
38% of mobile abandons happen at the address step. Proposed fix: validate inline and keep guest checkout visible.
Research you can search
Upload calls and notes. Slate transcribes them, and your team tags the moments worth keeping.
Decision records
What you chose, what you ruled out, and who signed off.

From customer call to shipped ticket
Checkout v2 — single-page flow
Mobile checkout completion is 11 points below desktop. Most of the gap comes from the address step, where autofill fails on Safari for about one in five sessions.
I typed my address twice and it still said invalid, so I just closed the tab.Tom K., store owner · Interview, 14:02

Works with the tools you already use
Built for companies with a security team
Teams that stopped re-arguing old decisions
When someone asks why we built something, we send a link. That used to be a thirty-minute meeting.
Our specs finally point at real customer quotes instead of "users want". Reviews got shorter and better.
New PMs read the decision log in their first week. They get up to speed in days, not a quarter.
