How to check in on your goals from Slack

A team's priorities don't turn into results on their own. Someone has to chase the updates, catch what's drifting, prepare the reviews, and keep follow-through moving. That work usually lands on whoever has the least time for it.

Rhythms is an AI operating partner. It takes the coordination work off leaders and teams, so the week goes to decisions and people instead.

The short answer: In any channel Rhythms is in, post @Rhythms check in on my goals and reply the way you'd tell a teammate what happened. Rhythms turns it into a check-in on the right goal and shows you the draft. Nothing saves until you confirm.

Step 1 — Tell it what's true

If you know which goal

Name it, and say what happened.

Try it: @Rhythms check in on my goals

Also works: "update my Q3 revenue goal, we closed the two enterprise deals", "mark the onboarding project 80% done", "we're behind on activation, put it at risk".

If you'd rather it prompt you

Ask what's due, and it comes back with the list.

Try it: @Rhythms what check-ins are due this week?

Also works: "what haven't I updated in a while?", "which of my goals are overdue for a check-in?"

Tip: Connect the tools behind your goals: Google Sheets, Jira, Salesforce, HubSpot, Linear. Rhythms can then suggest the check-in from what actually changed, instead of asking you to remember it.

Step 2 — Review the draft, then confirm

Rhythms shows you what it's about to log against the goal, and where the number or status is coming from.

Nothing posts until you confirm. Reply in the thread to correct anything before it saves. That's faster than starting over.

Try it: @Rhythms make it 65% and note the API delay

Step 3 · optional — Turn a conversation into a check-in

A lot of progress gets talked through in a channel before anyone logs it anywhere: a thread about how the migration's going, a quick "where are we on renewals" back-and-forth. Tag Rhythms once that conversation exists and it turns the discussion itself into check-in drafts.

Try it: @Rhythms turn this conversation into check-ins

It only pulls from what was actually said. If the thread doesn't clearly cover a goal, it leaves that one out rather than guessing.

Try it: @Rhythms did we cover anything check-in worthy in here?

Useful when you're not sure the conversation touched a goal at all.

How do you make it a habit?

Get asked, instead of remembering

Once your check-in rhythm is set, Rhythms can prompt you in the channel or in a DM when one is due, instead of you tracking dates.

Try it: @Rhythms remind me when my goals are due for a check-in

Ask before you update

Not sure what's changed since last time? Ask first.

Try it: @Rhythms what's changed on my goals since my last check-in?
