Reactive AI answers your questions. Proactive AI tells you which questions to ask.
# AI shouldn't wait for a prompt
You open ChatGPT. You type a question. You wait. You read. You close the tab.
You open Cursor. You highlight some code. You write a prompt. You wait. You apply the diff.
You spend an afternoon wiring up an n8n flow or a CRON job. You hope you anticipated the conditions that matter. You forget about it. Three weeks later it breaks silently and nobody notices.
Every interaction starts with **you** deciding something is worth asking about. That's a problem, because the things that matter most are usually the ones you don't yet know to ask about.
The blocker that just appeared in a thread you're not in. The teammate who quietly missed a commitment. The decision that got reversed in a meeting you skipped. The customer issue three different people mentioned in three different channels this week.
You can't prompt your way to context you don't have.
# Thor comes to you
We built Thor on a different premise: the AI should pay attention so you don't have to.
Instead of waiting in a chat window, Thor watches the actual flow of work — Slack threads, meetings, ticket activity, PRs, docs — and pings you when something matters. Not when *anything* happens. When something **you** would want to know about.
That includes:
* A meeting you were in just ended, and you've got three action items.
* A teammate said they'd follow up on something yesterday and haven't.
* A product change you're waiting just got blocked.
* A decision you cared about was made in a thread you missed.
* It's Friday at 4pm and you struggle to remember what the team actually got done this week.
You don't program any of this. No triggers, no CRON expressions, no n8n graphs to maintain. You tell Thor in plain English what to keep an eye on, and Thor figures out when to come back to you.
# A chief of staff for your work
The mental model that fits best: a really good chief of staff.
They sit in on every meeting. They keep tabs on every channel. They read every PR description. They notice when something stalls. They notice when a question went unanswered. They notice when a decision got made but nobody wrote it down.
And, more importantly, they don't wait to be asked. They DM you and say "hey, I think you wanted to know about this."
That's Thor.
# Thor isn't perfect
Sometimes Thor pings you about something you don't care about. Sometimes Thor misses something you wish it had caught.
When that happens, tell Thor (in plain English) to back off on a topic, or to pay closer attention to one. The more you use Thor, the better it gets at picking the right moments. This is still early days, and some rough edges are expected.
# Reactive vs. proactive, in practice
Same task, two ways:
**Reactive AI** waits for you to ask — and that only works if you (1) remember the meeting happened, (2) remember to ask, and (3) ask the right question.
**Proactive Thor** comes to you:
Heads up: three pricing decisions were made in yesterday's leadership sync. Two need follow-up from your team. Want me to draft action items?
Yes — draft them and assign the ones that look like mine.
Drafted two tasks from the sync and assigned the owner follow-ups to you. The third is waiting on Finance — I subscribed you to updates.
Use the Thor MCP to draft action items from yesterday's leadership sync pricing decisions and assign the ones that look like mine.
Drafted 2 tasks · assigned your follow-ups
Subscribed you to the Finance-owned item
Same data. Different outcome. The reactive version requires you to know what you don't know. The proactive version assumes you don't, and helps anyway.
# Things Thor does without being asked
Out of the box, Thor will:
* DM each meeting participant a recap of action items and decisions a few minutes after a meeting ends. See [Meetings](/usecases/meetings).
* Send you a daily standup with what you worked on yesterday. See [Stand-ups](/usecases/standups).
* Send a Friday recap and a Monday kickoff. See [Weekly Messages](/usecases/reminders#weekly-messages).
* Tell you when a task you care about gets blocked, completed, or reassigned. See [Task Subscriptions](/usecases/tasks#task-subscriptions).
* Follow up the next day if you haven't closed out an action item from a meeting.
You can also tell Thor to watch for arbitrary things, with no scripting required:
Hey Thor, let me know if anyone mentions the auth migration this week.
On it — I'll ping you when the auth migration comes up in channels, threads, or meetings this week.
Use the Thor MCP to watch for anyone mentioning the auth migration this week.
