Apps and MCP opportunities

Slack and DiskDrive

Save confirmed decisions from chat without silently turning every Slack message into permanent AI memory.

The useful fit

Capturing final decisions instead of indiscriminate conversation history

DiskDrive is the persistence layer, not the model or app itself. It gives a team that makes decisions in Slack a separate place for finished files, structured records, and explicit memories that should outlive one session. Each connected AI receives its own authorization and only the scopes the user approves.

An honest boundary

Connection does not mean unlimited access

An API or MCP pathway is only the technical beginning. A real connector still needs authentication, tenant isolation, permission checks, audit events, rate limits, and revocation. DiskDrive does not claim an app is connected merely because its name appears in this research library.

A believable everyday use

What this could look like in practice

A volunteer team discusses dozens of options in Slack. Once it chooses a venue, an authorized workflow saves the final decision and source document to DiskDrive. Casual messages remain in Slack and do not become hidden durable memory.

  1. 1

    Choose what is durable. Save finished source material, reviewed records, or a fact the user explicitly wants remembered—not an entire private conversation by default.

  2. 2

    Authorize separately. Give this client the narrow read, search, or write permissions it needs. Write access never silently implies delete access.

  3. 3

    Keep provenance. Preserve who created an item, where it came from, and what later corrected or superseded it.

DiskDrive is designed so the AI is an authorized client and the user remains the owner.
