Slack voice memos your team will actually read.

Clear is a Slack app for people who work from their phone. Record a voice note while you walk, commute, or move between meetings, and Clear turns it into a short, scannable message your team can read in ten seconds.

Before — voice memo to Clear

You

"Hey — just wanted to check in about the project we talked about last week… yeah, just wondering if there's any update, or if there's anything I can help out with on my end, so…"

Clear transcribes and refines

After

11:42 AM Only visible to you

Any updates on the project from last week? Happy to help if needed.

Coaching tip

Remove filler phrases like "I wanted to reach out" and "I was wondering". Direct questions get faster responses.

Message #general

Like all AI assistants, Clear uses LLMs to refine your messages. Refinements may occasionally be inaccurate. Always review before sending.

The problem

Voice memos are easy to send and painful to receive.

You record a three-minute ramble while walking to your next meeting. Your team has to stop what they're doing, put in headphones, and scrub through it to find the actual ask. Half of them won't. The ones who do will spend longer listening than you spent recording.

How it works

From voice memo to readable Slack message in ten seconds.

Works on mobile where you already record voice notes. DM the Clear bot from the Slack app on your phone, or use /clr on desktop for text.

Record on your phone

Open the Slack app, DM the Clear bot, and hold the mic. Talk like you're leaving a voicemail — no script, no edit pass. Typing on desktop instead? Use /clr in any channel.

Clear writes it up

Clear transcribes and rewrites your ramble into a short, scannable message. Names, acronyms, and technical terms stay intact. Uses fine-tuned language models to preserve your intent and tone.

Paste and send

Copy the refined message into the channel you wanted. Only you see the refinement; your team only sees the clean version. Optional coaching tips explain what changed, so you learn with every memo.

Why Clear

Not the only way to send a voice memo. Just the one your team will read.

How Clear compares to the other options you have today.

vs. Slack audio clips

Slack ships audio clips. Teammates still have to press play, listen at 1x (or 2x and miss the ask), and nobody can search the thread later. Clear gives them a message they can skim and reply to in ten seconds.

vs. Slack AI recaps

Slack AI summarises threads after the fact, once the confusion has already happened. Clear refines your message before you post it, so the thread never needs untangling in the first place.

vs. typing on your phone

Thumb-typing a well-structured Slack message while walking is miserable, which is why you started sending voice memos in the first place. Clear lets you keep the mobile workflow and give your team something readable.

vs. Wispr Flow

Wispr Flow dictates through a custom mobile keyboard, awkward to swap to inside Slack. Out of the box, you get a verbatim transcript — no summarisation unless you heavily prompt-tune it. Clear lives inside Slack and returns a refined message by default.

What you get

Mobile-first messaging your team can actually use.

Built for the way you already work from your phone.

  • Record where you are

    Walking, commuting, in an Uber between meetings. Open Slack on your phone, hold the mic, talk.

  • Team reads it in ten seconds

    Short, scannable, searchable. No headphones, no scrubbing, no "can someone TL;DR that memo?"

  • Audio and text aren't stored

    Voice notes are transcribed, refined, and then deleted. No logs, no training data.

  • Keeps your names, acronyms, and tone

    Technical terms stay intact. Works in almost any language — useful if English isn't your first.

What's inside

The details, if you're still reading.

Everything Clear does, without the marketing spin.

Voice notes on mobile

DM the Clear bot from the Slack app on your phone and hold the mic. Clear transcribes and refines whatever you said.

iOS and Android

Text mode with /clr

At a keyboard? Type /clr followed by your message in any channel or DM, and Clear returns a cleaner version only you can see.

Works in channels and DMs

Audio deleted after transcription

Voice notes are transcribed, refined, and then the audio is dropped. Nothing is stored long-term; nothing is used for training.

No audio retained

Inline coaching

Each refinement includes a short note on what changed. Turn it off if you just want the message.

Optional, not in your way

Keeps your names and terms

Technical terms, product names, acronyms, and capitalisation stay exactly as you said them. Your team recognises the message as yours.

Context-preserving

Only you see the refinement

Clear returns the refined message as an ephemeral response. You decide whether to paste it into the channel — your team never sees the rough version.

FAQ

Common questions

The basics to get you started.

Is Clear free to use?

Yes! Clear is free to use while in beta. After the beta period, pricing will be around $1.99 per Slack user per month to cover AI costs.

Are my messages stored?

No. Your messages are not stored and expire immediately after conversion. We only process your message to generate the refined version, then discard it.

Is the shortened draft visible to anyone else?

No. When you run /clr, only you see the refined draft. Clear never posts or interacts publicly with your message; it just returns the shortened text for you to send.

What AI models does Clear use?

Clear routes your message to the best available state-of-the-art model from Anthropic or OpenAI. We use a fine-tuned prompt optimized for clarity and directness.

What languages does Clear support?

Clear works in almost all languages. It even adapts seamlessly when your sentences mix multiple languages, preserving each language while making the overall message clearer.

Can I use Clear in private channels?

Yes! The /clr command works in any channel because it's a private command.You can also DM the Clear bot directly.

Does it change the meaning of my message?

No. Clear preserves the meaning, intent, and tone of your message. It only removes filler words, redundant phrases, and unnecessary complexity while keeping technical terms, acronyms, and names intact.

Why not just rely on my colleagues' AI summarizers instead?

Summaries are convenient for quickly scanning a flood of notifications, but people rely on your original message for the real details and still go back to the source when making decisions.

How do I install Clear?

Click the "Add to Slack" button and authorize Clear for your workspace. Once installed, the /clr command will be available in all channels.
