Overview

Snippets AI includes Slack-style real-time notifications that keep your team in sync. When a team member adds, updates, or shares a snippet, you’re notified instantly-right within the app. This ensures everyone stays up-to-date without having to manually check for changes. Real-time notifications transform Snippets AI from a static repository into a living, collaborative workspace.

​
Why Notifications Matter

In collaborative environments, staying informed is critical:
  • Team Awareness: Know when teammates add new snippets you might need
  • Update Alerts: See when important snippets are modified
  • Version Control: Track changes to snippets you use frequently
  • Collaboration: Get notified when someone shares a snippet with you
  • Productivity: No need to manually check for updates
