Leanback

Leanback is an artificial intelligence assistant for engineering managers that delivers a prioritized morning brief in Slack.

Leanback is an artificial intelligence assistant designed specifically for engineering managers to eliminate manual status coordination. It automatically reads Jira, GitHub, Linear, and calendar data overnight to deliver a prioritized morning brief directly inside Slack before standup. The platform identifies blocked tasks, stalling pull requests, calendar collisions, and daily priorities so managers can focus on leadership instead of chasing updates across multiple tools. It integrates with Slack, Google Calendar, Jira, GitHub, Linear, Notion, Asana, Trello, and ClickUp using secure OAuth. Setup takes under two minutes, team members do not need accounts, and company data is processed in real time without being stored or used to train artificial intelligence models.
