How Hitler Works

Hitler is a Slack-first accountability bot built for Inagiffy’s content marketing team. The bot is the primary interface — you talk to it in Slack, and it handles task tracking, KPI scoring, reports, and accountability enforcement automatically. The web dashboard exists for managers/admins to configure settings and view reports.

The Daily Cycle

Here’s what a typical day looks like with Hitler running:

9:00 AM   Morning thread posted to team channel
          → Everyone replies with their tasks for the day

11:00 AM  Submission deadline
          → Users who didn't submit get a DM reminder

11:30 AM  Classification digest
          → Bot posts task classification summary to ops channel

5:00 PM   EOD nudge
          → Bot posts a reminder to update task statuses

7:00 PM   EOD collection
          → Bot collects task statuses from thread replies
          → Marks tasks as done / carry-forward / blocked / no-update

9:00 PM   Daily report generated
          → Public report → progress channel (team-visible)
          → Private report → DM to admins/managers
          → Daily shoutout if anyone hit 100% completion

Friday    Weekly report (6 PM), KPI snapshot (11 PM)
Monthly   Monthly report on last working day (6 PM)

All times are in your org’s configured timezone.

For Employees

Posting Your Tasks (Morning Thread)

Every morning, the bot posts a thread in your team channel. Reply with your tasks for the day:

- Write newsletter for Client A (L)
- QC design for Client B (S)
- Update social calendar (M)

The bot auto-parses each line into a task with:

Title extracted from your text
Size — S (small, weight 1), M (medium, weight 2), L (large, weight 3)
Client — auto-detected from client names in your org
Task type — classified as writing, design, QC, etc.

If you don’t specify size, it defaults to M.

Talking to the Bot

DM the bot or mention @Hitler in any channel. It understands natural language:

"I need to finish the newsletter for Acme by EOD"
→ Creates a task: "Finish newsletter for Acme" | Size: M | Client: Acme

"What are my tasks?"
→ Lists your current tasks with statuses

"Done with the Acme newsletter"
→ Marks matching task as completed

"I'm blocked on the design — waiting on client feedback"
→ Reports a blocker, notifies ops immediately

Slash Commands

Command	What it does
`/tasks`	List your current tasks
`/done <task>`	Mark a task as completed
`/blocked <reason>`	Report a blocker (notifies ops)
`/unblocked <note>`	Resolve your active blocker
`/status`	Show your current status
`/mood`	Log your mood (1-5 scale)
`/help`	Show all available commands

Things You Can Ask the Bot

Just DM the bot naturally — it has tools for:

Tasks: “show my tasks”, “what’s pending?”, “mark X as done”, “create task: do Y”
Reminders: “remind me in 2 hours to send the email”, “snooze reminder 30 min”
Mood: “log mood 4”, “how have I been feeling this week?”
Stats: “what’s my KPI?”, “how am I doing this week?”
Cards: “do I have any cards?”, “show my yellow cards”
Blockers: “I’m blocked on X”, “show my blockers”
OOO: “I’m out tomorrow”, “check my OOO status”
Checklists: “show my checklist”, “check item 3 on content writing”, “checklist done”
SOPs: “what SOPs do I have?”, “done with weekly report for Acme”

End of Day

At 5 PM the bot posts an EOD nudge. At 7 PM it collects statuses. Reply to the morning thread with updates:

- Newsletter for Acme: done
- Design QC for Client B: carry forward (waiting on assets)
- Social calendar: done

The bot parses statuses: done, carry-forward (with optional reason), blocked, or no update.

Cards and Accountability

The system tracks your performance through a card system:

Card	Trigger	Consequence
Yellow	Carry-forward >2 tasks, missing submissions, low completion	Warning — visible in reports
Red	Accumulating yellows, repeated misses, critical underperformance	Escalated to leadership

Cards are visible to you (“show my cards”) and to managers in the dashboard.

Checklists

Role-based quality checklists are assigned to you. Check your pending ones:

"show my checklist"
→ Lists your checklists with completion status

"check content writing item 2"
→ Marks item 2 on Content Writing checklist as done

"checklist done"
→ Marks all items on your active checklist as complete

Default checklists by role:

Writers: Correct hyperlinks, AI-slop edited out, appropriate writing style, outline followed
Designers: Redirect URL added, hyperlinks correct, images clickable
Client QC: Subject line options shared, scheduled/followed up on time

SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures)

Recurring process obligations tracked automatically:

"what SOPs do I have?"
→ Shows your pending SOPs with due dates

"done with weekly client report"
→ Marks that SOP as completed for this period

SOPs have deadlines. Overdue SOPs trigger reminders. Missed SOPs show up in reports.

Action Items

Weekly private reports auto-generate action items based on data patterns:

Client with missed deploys → “Review [client] workflow”
High carry-forward user → “Check workload for [name]”

Items carry forward weekly until resolved. Track them at /dashboard/action-items.

Intervention Logging

When someone picks up another person’s work, log it:

/log-intervention @person Finished their newsletter because they were sick

This is tracked privately and surfaces in daily/weekly/monthly private reports. Helps identify who needs help and who helps others.

Timeliness	20%	% of tasks completed by deadline
Carry-forward	15%	Lower carry-forward ratio = better

Blocker ratio	10%	% of tasks that got blocked

KPI targets are configurable per-org at /dashboard/settings/kpi-targets.

Blocker Escalation

When a blocker is reported (via /blocked or auto-detected from carry-forward reasons):

Time	Action
0 hours	Ops notified in progress channel
8 hours	Founder/admin DM: “Blocker unresolved for 8+ hours”
24 hours	Marked critical, posted to progress channel

Auto-detected from carry-forward reasons containing: “blocked”, “waiting on”, “depends on”, “stuck”, “can’t proceed”, “need approval”, “pending review”.

Client Management

Clients are first-class entities with:

Deploy days: Configured day(s) of the week when client content goes out
Assigned members: Writers and designers linked to each client
Health score: Auto-computed from task completion + deploy compliance
Health levels: Healthy (above 75), At Risk (50–75), Critical (below 50)
