Yikes. Love the app idea. I hate the first use case shown. I've never gotten anything helpful from a CEO/manager slacking me, "How are you doing?" At best I have to stop doing what I'm doing and respond relativity quickly so I seem attentive to this superior. Normally there is no purpose to the interaction so it just feels like wasted time and more wasted time due to context switching.

At it's worst it turns into a checking in conversation with some critique that would be better suited for a phone call or in person meeting.

Advice to CEO's/Managers: The how are things going slacks do not feel like a personal chat. Create a culture where people will ask for help and guidance when they need it and let them do their work.
