Remote and hybrid teams are changing the way they communicate. Instead of scheduling another meeting for every question, update, or explanation, teams are increasingly working asynchronously.
The modern async workflow can be surprisingly simple:
Slack for quick conversations → Glooin for visual communication → AI for processing information → Notion for documentation.
Together, these tools create a workflow where teams can communicate clearly without everyone needing to be online at the same time.
What Is the New Async Stack?
Async work doesn't mean communication disappears. It means communication becomes more flexible.
Instead of:
Meeting → Notes → Follow-up → More messages
teams can use:
Record → Share → Summarize → Document
Slack remains useful for quick conversations and notifications, while Notion can act as a central knowledge base. AI can help organize information, summarize conversations, and turn unstructured content into something easier to use.
But there's one important piece in the middle: screen recording.
That's where Glooin fits.
1. Slack: Start the Conversation
Slack is great for quick questions, updates, decisions, and team discussions.
But sometimes text isn't enough.
Imagine a designer trying to explain a UI problem using five paragraphs of text or a developer describing a bug without showing exactly what happened.
That's when a short screen recording can communicate more effectively.
Instead of writing:
"The button doesn't work when you click it after opening the second menu..."
You can simply record your screen, explain the problem, and share the video in Slack.
2. Glooin: Show Instead of Explaining
This is where Glooin becomes the visual layer of the async stack.
Glooin lets you record your screen directly from Chrome and quickly share the result with a link. You can record a browser tab, screen, or selected area, while using features such as annotations, blur, and pause/resume.
The biggest advantage for async teams is simple:
You don't have to schedule a meeting just to show someone something.
For example:
-
A developer can record a bug and send it to the team.
-
A designer can record feedback on a website.
-
A manager can record a weekly update.
-
A sales team can create personalized product walkthroughs.
-
A support team can show a customer exactly how to solve a problem.
-
A new employee can receive a recorded onboarding walkthrough.
Glooin also creates shareable links, making it easy to paste recordings directly into Slack, Notion, email, Jira, or other tools.

3. AI: Turn Communication Into Useful Information
Recording something is only part of the workflow.
The next step is turning conversations and recordings into useful information.
AI can help teams summarize discussions, extract action items, create documentation, and find information faster.
For example, after a product discussion, AI could help turn the important points into:
-
Key decisions
-
Action items
-
Questions
-
Next steps
-
Documentation
This reduces the amount of manual work required after a conversation.
Tools such as Notion are already using AI to transcribe meetings and create organized summaries and action items.
4. Notion: Store the Knowledge
Once information has been communicated and processed, it needs somewhere to live.
That's where Notion can become the documentation layer.
Instead of allowing useful information to disappear inside Slack conversations, teams can move important decisions, processes, tutorials, and project information into organized Notion pages.
For example:
Slack:
"Here's the discussion."
Glooin:
"Here's exactly what happened."
AI:
"Here's the summary and action items."
Notion:
"Here's the permanent documentation."
Notion's AI Meeting Notes can also organize meeting transcripts, summaries, and action items directly within the workspace.
The Complete Async Workflow
The power of this stack comes from how the tools work together.
Step 1: Something needs to be communicated
A teammate has a question, bug, idea, update, or request.
Step 2: Record it with Glooin
Instead of writing a long explanation or scheduling a call, record your screen and explain the situation naturally.
Step 3: Share it in Slack
Paste the Glooin link into the relevant Slack conversation.
Step 4: Use AI to process the information
For longer discussions, AI can help identify important information, summarize the conversation, and create action items.
Step 5: Save important information in Notion
If the information will be useful later, turn it into documentation and store it in your team's Notion workspace.
This creates a simple communication loop:
Show → Share → Understand → Document
Why Screen Recording Is the Missing Piece
Slack is excellent for text.
Notion is excellent for documentation.
AI is excellent for processing information.
But many work problems are visual.
A website bug, design change, software workflow, dashboard issue, product feature, or customer problem can be difficult to explain through text alone.
A 60-second screen recording can sometimes replace a 15-minute explanation.
That's why Glooin isn't simply another screen recorder. It can become the visual communication layer of an async workflow.
Glooin for Async Teams
Glooin is particularly useful for teams that regularly need to explain things visually.
Product & Engineering
Record bugs, feature walkthroughs, QA issues, and technical explanations.
Design Teams
Record design feedback instead of scheduling review calls for every small change.
Marketing Teams
Create product demonstrations, campaign walkthroughs, and reusable content.
Glooin can also help marketing teams turn one screen recording into multiple pieces of content. Read How Marketing Teams Are Repurposing Screen Recordings for more ideas.
Customer Support
Show customers exactly how to solve a problem rather than sending a long list of instructions.
Remote Teams
Replace unnecessary meetings with short, clear video updates.
One Recording, Multiple Destinations
The real benefit of an async stack isn't having four different tools.
It's being able to move information between them.
A single Glooin recording can start as a quick explanation, get shared in Slack, summarized with AI, and eventually become part of your team's Notion documentation.
That means the same information doesn't need to be recreated again and again.
Record once. Share quickly. Document when needed.
Build a Faster Async Workflow With Glooin
Async communication works best when teams have a simple way to communicate ideas without constantly interrupting each other.
Slack handles the conversation.
Glooin handles the visual explanation.
AI helps process the information.
Notion keeps the knowledge organized.
And Glooin sits right in the middle of that workflow, making it easier to show instead of type.
If your team spends too much time explaining bugs, reviewing designs, giving updates, answering repetitive questions, or scheduling meetings for simple discussions, try replacing the next long message with a short Glooin recording.
Say less. Show more. Work faster.
