How it works

Stop chasing

Four steps, fully automated. Leanback handles the coordination layer so you can focus on the work that actually matters.

02
Reads every ticket & calendar
Pulls open issues from Jira, GitHub, Linear. Scans calendars for load and conflicts, in real time.
03
AI analysis, whole team in parallel
Surfaces blockers, detects patterns, generates concrete action suggestions for everyone at once.
04
Clear action plan in Slack
Before your first standup: blockers, calendar pressure, prioritised actions — right in Slack.

Built by Managers, for Managers

The tool we wanted
for our own sanity.

We didn't build Leanback to be another AI novelty. We built it because we were tired of losing hours every week playing status coordinator.
Engineering managers are drowning in noise. We jump between Slack conversations, standup notes, Jira tickets, and GitHub pull requests just to answer a simple question: what is actually blocking my team?
Leanback does the grunt work. It proactively pings, aggregates, filters, and formats blockers and schedules into a highly actionable overview—helping you lead rather than coordinate.

Meeting Overload

Status meetings are a waste of team velocity. Leanback reads schedules and flags daily priorities so standups stay short and actionable.

Scattered Context

Status is scattered across GitHub, Jira, and calendars. Leanback connects them, building a single source of daily truth automatically.

Invisible Blockers

PRs sit stale for days because notifications get lost. Leanback surfaces blocked tasks, pending reviews, and stuck items instantly.

Manual Retro Prep

Compiling retro notes and daily snapshots is tedious. Leanback logs progress snapshots daily so retrospectives take minutes, not hours.

What your assistant handles

Everything a manager needs
to lead, not coordinate.

Six capabilities that replace hours of manual coordination every week.

Blocker Detection
Cross-references check-ins with ticket age, PR lag, and calendar density to surface real blockers.
Calendar Intelligence
Flags when meeting density will crush deep work time or put sprint commitments at risk.
Async Check-ins
Automates daily standups via Slack DM. Whole team, under 2 minutes, no meeting required.
Universal Integrations
Jira, GitHub, Linear, Asana, Notion, Monday, Google Calendar — all via secure OAuth.
Team Health Metrics
Sprint velocity, PR cycle time, ticket aging — early warning signals before problems escalate.
Actionable Summaries
Every digest ends with a concrete, prioritised action list. You read it, you act. That's it.
