Idle Pilot is a productivity tool designed to help users maintain their online presence on Slack, specifically keeping the green dot status active even when their laptop is closed, asleep, or turned off. The service operates entirely from the cloud, ensuring that nothing runs on the user's computer after the initial setup. This allows users to focus on their work without worrying about their Slack status, which can be particularly beneficial for remote workers, consultants, contractors, and distributed teams who need to manage their online presence effectively.
Idle Pilot does one thing—keep your Slack status active remotely—which makes the value proposition simple and easy to explain. It has attracted paying users (revenue-stage) and generates $136 in recurring revenue while drawing 1,740 visitors monthly, so there is demonstrable demand on a tight product.
