Turn a highlight into an edit

Refine reworks any passage of a brief or blueprint you highlight. Plus your notifications now show up in Slack.

Refine

You're polishing a brief and one line needs work. Highlight it, hit Refine, and tell Hamster the change.

Slack notifications

A notification from Hamster is easy to miss when your day lives in Slack. Now it reaches you there too, as a direct message with a link back to the work.
