"That's not mine, try Jana"
You finally get an answer — after three people passed you along first.
Who handles this?
Shouldn’t start a guessing game.
OwnQ routes approval and ownership questions to the best-known owner in Slack, follows up, and tracks each request's response status.
Ownership friction
Where work gets stuck
Four moments growing teams know too well.
The answer that never comes
It's sitting in someone's inbox. Nobody's chasing it, so nothing moves.
"Who even knows this?"
The one person who knew has left. The ownership knowledge left with them.
"Who should I even ask?"
The work is blocked, but nobody can name the person responsible for the next decision.
The hidden cost: work waits while people ask around, chase replies, and reconstruct decisions.
How it works
A clear route from question to answer
Ask in Slack. OwnQ routes the request, follows up, and keeps the outcome visible.
-
Ask
Ask in Slack
A teammate asks a question without knowing who can answer.

Route
OwnQ finds the owner
The request is matched with the best-known owner.
-
Follow up
No manual chasing
OwnQ sends reminders while the request is waiting.
-
Visible
Everyone sees the status
Ownership, response, and outcome stay visible.
With and without OwnQ
The same work, with clearer routing, automatic follow-up, and a shared view of every request.
Without OwnQ
- A question sits buried in a chat thread or inbox, unanswered.
- The request bounces between teams until someone recognizes the owner.
- A ticket can track the request, but someone still has to choose the right queue or assignee.
- You have to check the task, ask for updates, and remind the owner yourself.
- No shared dashboard — requesters and owners piece status together from threads and inboxes.
With OwnQ
- OwnQ routes the request to the best-known owner.
- Corrections and ownership updates improve the map for future routing.
- OwnQ helps answer “who owns this?” while the ticketing system continues to track and manage the work.
- OwnQ monitors unanswered requests and sends reminders automatically.
- Dashboards show requests you raised and requests you own, including the current owner and response status.

FAQ
Questions teams ask before trying OwnQ
Clear answers about fit, routing, follow-up, and how OwnQ works alongside your existing tools.
How do I know if OwnQ is right for our team?
OwnQ is a fit when projects stall because people do not know who to ask, or someone has to chase every response manually.
Does OwnQ replace Slack or our ticketing system?
No. OwnQ finds the responsible person and keeps the response moving. Slack stays where the conversation happens, while your ticketing system continues to manage the work.
How does OwnQ know who owns a request?
Onboarding provides the starting point. Confirmed owners, corrections, and reassignments improve future routing.
What if OwnQ routes a request to the wrong person?
The request can be corrected or reassigned. OwnQ uses that signal to improve similar routes next time.
What if the owner does not respond?
OwnQ follows up automatically. The requester can still see the current owner and response status without chasing updates manually.
