Refinder AI
Chat-native enterprise search and task automation hub that lives inside Slack and Google Chat.
Pick Refinder AI if your team lives in Slack or Google Chat and you want one assistant for cross-app search plus lightweight task automation.
Skip it if you need a developer-facing RAG API, on-prem deployment, or a chat platform other than Slack/Google Chat.
Refinder AI is a workplace assistant from Thinkfree that plugs into Slack and Google Chat and turns chat commands into actions across the dozens of SaaS tools a typical company uses. It combines two main capabilities: unified AI-powered search across connected apps (so employees can ask questions in natural language and get answers grounded in their organization's internal content), and no-code task automation (sending email, updating records, triggering notifications) without leaving the chat window.
The pitch is aimed squarely at mid-market and enterprise teams drowning in app sprawl — Refinder cites the now-familiar stat that companies run on 80+ apps. Setup is connector-based rather than code-based, which keeps it accessible to ops and IT teams who don't want to babysit another integration platform. A free plan with no credit card is offered, but published tier pricing is absent, so larger deployments will land in a sales conversation.
This is firmly an enterprise-search-meets-RAG product rather than a developer toolkit. There's no public API or open-source story on the marketing site, and the value lives entirely inside the Slack/Google Chat UX. Worth a look for teams already standardised on those chat platforms; less interesting if you want to embed retrieval into your own apps.
A sensible Glean-style enterprise search and automation play, narrowed to the Slack and Google Chat surface. The free tier is a friendly on-ramp, but the lack of public pricing and API documentation signals this is really a sales-led enterprise product. Useful for ops teams; uninteresting for builders.
