Spot — The knowledge base that scales with your team

Spot is the knowledge base that works with your existing tools: write bite-size documentation on the fly, backup what would otherwise be lost in Slack, and search for the knowledge scattered across Confluence, Drive, Notion, Intercom, Zendesk, Jira...

Congrats on your launch @raf_col & @ulysse_mizrahi! As the first beta-tester of the product, I can attest to 2 things: 1. The speed of execution & agility of the team 2. As a Knowledge Manager, I see the pain point of having unconnected sources of information (more than that, truth) across a company, and the difficulty of maintaining all those pieces in the long run. Spot is the connective tissue for knowledge!

@ulysse_mizrahi @tmorisse love the "connective tissue for knowledge" badge from you, thanks Tom - you should be our honorary product hunter with all your feedback 🥰

Hi Product-hunters ! Great to meet y'all 🤗 and thanks to @mwseibel and to @ycombinator for the Hunt! I'm Raf, the CEO of Spot (https://justspot.io) and together with @ulysse_mizrahi we are super proud to announce the launch of Spot to the public. We've been working on it hard (kudos to all the team! ) and we can't wait to see what you think. We've been using it internally for a while now - and I think it's pretty neat ❤️. Without further ado: ❓Why we decided to build Spot 💩 Documentation is always a mess. Even with the best intentions, drives and wikis always end up poorly maintained - and nobody really wants to spend time managing or adding to them. Is this page up to date ? Where should I put this document ? Ugh 😩. 💬 We resort to exchanging vital knowledge on Slack, which is lost as soon as it is written. Questions get repetitive, and nothing really sticks. 🧠 But good knowledge management is crucial, especially in the remote age, when teams are growing. We can spend up to 20% of our time searching for information, new hires need to ramp up quickly and self-serve, people leaving the company leave with their knowledge, and time-consuming projects can end up duplicated. 👀 We've seen this before. As a Product Manager at Google - I saw first hand how good (or bad 😀) information management practices can turn a team's productivity around. 💪 What Spot does for you team 📖Spot is your team's hub to document their work, backup important knowledge and search for whatever they need. It's not a wiki, it's not a drive - it's an entirely new kind of knowledge base. 💡Thought of a great idea ? Found out something new ? Want to document a bit of knowledge for posterity ? Jot it down in a Spot card, link it to a few others - and you're good to go. No hierarchies to navigate, no long pages. 🤝Spot works hand in hand with your other tools - not parallel to them. Connect them to Spot and let the magic happen. See an interesting thread on Slack ? Back it up. Perhaps even write a Card to expand on it. 🔍Spot's search is fast and smart. And it searches everywhere. Cards, but also Drive, Notion, Confluence or any tool you might already be storing important knowledge in. 🧨 Enough already - how do I get started ? 🚀Just drop us a line so we can onboard you. 🤑If you get started before July 31st, we'll offer you $300 in free credit. This will cover for 5 active users for 6 months.

Huge need in the space. Excited to see you guys tackling it. Congrats Raffaele!

@victoriahyoung Grazie ;))))

Really love this product! I like how easy and convenient it is just to jot down ideas and concepts into a Spot card, and instantly have it connected with the rest of the Spot knowledge base. Maintaining knowledge repositories for teams has traditionally been a difficult and cumbersome process, often times with multiple sources scattered throughout, and crucial information not always being documented. Spot has just provided a novel, easy-to-use and pretty cool way to create, organize and search ideas, documentation and information for teams. Amazing product and congrats @raf_col, @ulysse_mizrahi and team on the launch!!

@ulysse_mizrahi @andrewlai87 thanks for you feedback!
Max Faingezicht
Really cool concept, solving the real mess of managing knowledge, content and documentation inside an organization- love how you have reimagined the wiki.
Raffaele Colella
@maxcr Thanks! Can't wait to have you guys started next week
Nuno Sanches e Silva
Congrats on the launch and amazing product!
Raffaele Colella
@nunosanches Thanks Nuno!
Colin Keogh
Love this! Knowledge management and maintaining knowledge bases can be PAINFUL. Especially frustrating is lost documentation or those great ideas from a thread. I’ve found this has become particularly challenging with remote work. Great product and best of luck to you @raf_col @ulysse_mizrahi and team!!
Raffaele Colella
@ulysse_mizrahi @keogh_c Thanks! Came a long way since last demo few months back😃
Michael Dubakov
I like Slack integration, looks useful :)
Dylan Zwick
Spot is awesome! Just what my team is looking for, and I'm both impressed with what they've built so far (July 13th, 2021) and excited about everything they'll be building.
Raffaele Colella
@pulselabs_cpo Thanks Dylan - demo was fun. Excited to grow with you guys

Looks neat, love the ux and end navigation between different docs.
Raffaele Colella

Congrats on the launch Raffaele!! Happy customers of your product.
Alexey Shashkov
I like the idea but I don't understand what the result looks like.
Raffaele Colella
Hello @shashcoffe ;)) Thanks for checking us out! (also fromnotion.com looks super interesting!) Spot assembles a light-way knowledge base which stays fresh and functional as cards are easy to create, connected with rest of your docs, slides, relevant slack threads, other cards etc.. The system is based on a strong ownership model to make sure an owner is always on top of a question, colleagues contributions etc... Would love to give you a demo and have your pointers ;))
Raffaele Colella
@shashcoffe Glad it makes sense! why don't you drop me a note at raf@justspot.io and we can exchange demos?

Great product! Good replacement for a drive to manage all my data at once and being able to share it with my co-workers. Love the idea of having a search tool and subscription based usage. Can't wait to use this soon.
