Built by managers,for managers.
We were engineering managers tired of spending our days chasing status updates instead of leading our teams. So we built the assistant we always wanted.
What is Leanback.live?
An AI chief of staff
for engineering managers.
Leanback.live is software: an AI chief of staff for engineering managers. It reads your team's Jira, GitHub and Linear tickets, pull requests and calendar overnight, and posts a prioritized morning brief in Slack: what's blocked, what's stalling, and what needs you today.
It is not a TV, recliner or furniture brand, and it is not a standup bot, a project-management tool or a dashboard. Setup takes about two minutes, it is free for 30 days with no credit card, and plans start at $12 a month. Leanback.live is built by Yaniv Hayun, Co-Founder & CEO.
60-Second Overview
Why we built
Leanback.
We built Leanback because engineering managers spend too much time acting as human status routers between Slack, tickets, and calendars.
Watch our quick 60-second snapshot on how Leanback automates the operational grind and gives you your mornings back.
What we believe
The principles behind
how we build.
Managers deserve better tools
Engineering managers are responsible for the output of entire teams, yet the tools built for them have not kept up. Leanback is built from the ground up for the manager's perspective.
Async-first, always
Status updates should never require a meeting. Great information flows happen in writing, on your team's schedule rather than in a room at 9am.
AI that acts, not just advises
Leanback is not a chatbot. It takes action: runs the sync, reads the tools, and hands you the answer. You decide. It does the work.
Your team stays in Slack
Your team should never have to open a new tool. Everything happens where they already are.
Who we are
Built by someone
who lived the problem.
"I build AI products from 0 → 1. My specialty is taking an idea from whiteboard to revenue-generating production system."
I've done it multiple times across fraud prevention, fintech, and cybersecurity at early-stage and growth-stage startups. 15+ years in distributed systems, cloud infra, and applied ML. Deep technical roots, strong product instinct, hands-on leadership.
Leanback was born from years of running engineering teams and watching talented managers drown in status meetings instead of leading. The tool we always needed didn't exist, so we built it.
