    Pretty widely understood at my last two companies to mean something like “looking into this” or “taking a look.” Basically just a quick acknowledgment to let the person asking the question know that they can probably expect a response from that person soon, and lets others know that someone’s already on it so we don’t duplicate effort.

    I always assumed this was a common usage on Slack.

      That’s how I would have interpreted it, as well, but I’ve seen it used in situations where that didn’t seem fitting so I asked.
