Daily Sync
Automated team
check-ins every day.
Every morning Leanback messages each team member directly in Slack no group threads, no noise. It collects what they worked on yesterday, what they're doing today, and whether anything is blocking them. Responses are compiled automatically, so by the time you open your laptop the whole team's status is already waiting for you.
Fully configurable timing
Set check-in time per team or per person
No new tools for your team
Everything happens inside the Slack they already use
Smart follow-up
Follows up if someone hasn't responded by a set time
Morning Digest
A full team briefing
before your first standup.
Before 9 AM you receive a structured digest inside Slack. It ranks what's moving, what's blocked, and what needs your attention today, with full context from tickets, calendars, and check-in responses. No more starting your day in the dark.
Ranked by urgency
Blockers surface at the top, wins below
Linked to source
Every item links back to the ticket or calendar event
Cross-tool awareness
Pulls from Linear, Jira, GitHub, Notion & Calendar
Meeting Intelligence
Know what's coming
before every meeting.
Leanback reads your entire calendar and surfaces relevant context before each meeting, who's in it, what tickets are related, what blockers exist for those people, and what's been discussed previously. You walk in prepared, not scrambling.
Pre-meeting briefs
Sent 15 min before each calendar event
Attendee context
Current sprint status for every person in the room
Conflict detection
Flags calendar pressure vs. sprint deadlines
Weekly Progress
Rated weekly reports
with trend tracking.
Every week Leanback generates a full progress report for your team what shipped, what stalled, velocity trends, and a health rating. Over time it builds a picture of team patterns: who is consistently blocked, what types of tasks tend to slip, and where process improvements would have the biggest impact.
Team health score
AI-generated 1, 10 rating based on delivery and blockers
Trend comparison
This week vs. last week vs. 30-day rolling average
Shareable summary

Ask the AI
Ask anything from Slack.
Get a real answer.
Type a question directly to Leanback in Slack and it goes to work reading tickets, GitHub PRs, calendar events, and check-in history to answer in context. Not a generic AI response: a specific, grounded answer based on your actual team and data.
Example: task transfer
"Maya is stuck on AUTH-412, who can take it?" → AI checks capacity, suggests best fit.
Example: risk surfacing
"What's at risk for the release?" → AI scans all blockers and deadlines.
Example: context recall
"What did Alex say about the API redesign?" → AI finds it in check-ins.
Manager Profiling
An AI that adapts
to how you lead.
Over time Leanback builds a profile of your leadership style what you tend to focus on, how you prefer updates formatted, which risks you act on quickly and which you monitor. It uses this to make the digest more relevant and surface the right information in the right way for you specifically.
Personalised digest format
Learns what matters to you and prioritises accordingly
Communication style matching
Adapts tone and detail level to your preferences
Decision pattern awareness
Flags things that have historically required your attention
Team Profiling
Understand your team
and how to improve.
Leanback builds an evolving profile of each team member their pace, communication patterns, what kind of blockers they hit, and how quickly they move through different types of work. This gives you a data-backed foundation for 1:1 conversations, performance reviews, and identifying where the team needs support or growth.
Individual work patterns
Velocity, blocker frequency, and response time by person
Team-level bottlenecks
Where your process slows down and why
Improvement suggestions
AI-generated recommendations for sprint planning and team structure
Before you decide
Concerns we hear most
Does Leanback store our private ticket data?
Leanback reads your tools in real-time but does not store your raw ticket or calendar content long-term. Data is processed to generate your digest and discarded. You can revoke access at any time from your integrations dashboard.
What if the AI gets something wrong?
Every digest item links directly back to its source ticket, PR, or calendar event. Leanback shows its reasoning so you can verify in one click. It is a research assistant, not an autonomous decision maker.
Will my team feel surveilled?
Leanback only collects what you and your team explicitly share in check-ins and connected tools. Responses are treated as professional updates, not monitoring. Most teams find it reduces pressure, not increases it.
Is the ROI real for a small team?
Managers on teams as small as three people report saving 4-6 hours per week by eliminating manual status gathering. The time compounds: fewer syncs, faster decisions, less context switching.
How can I track blockers across Jira and GitHub without relying on my team to self-report?
Leanback connects to Jira and GitHub via OAuth and scans tickets, PR status, and issue age overnight. Each morning it pushes a prioritized Slack brief showing what's blocked, stalled, or overdue, no standup prompts needed. Unlike Geekbot, Standuply, or DailyBot, which depend on developer self-reports, Leanback reads the actual work so nothing slips through.
How can I reduce status meetings as an engineering manager without losing visibility?
Leanback connects to Jira, GitHub, Linear, and Google Calendar and synthesizes real work data into a daily 8am Slack brief, flagging blockers, stalled PRs, and calendar conflicts automatically. Unlike Standuply or Geekbot, which rely on engineers self-reporting, Leanback reads the actual artifacts, so you enter every meeting already informed and can cancel the ones that exist only to chase status.
How do I get an automated morning brief of my team's actual work delivered in Slack?
Leanback connects your tools, Jira, GitHub, Linear, Google Calendar, via OAuth in about 2 minutes, then reads your team's tickets, PRs, and meetings overnight. By 8am it posts a prioritized Slack brief showing what's blocked, stalled, or needs your attention. Unlike Geekbot, DailyBot, Range, or Standuply, it sources data from the work itself, not from team self-reports.
Is there a tool that automatically prepares 1:1 talking points for engineering managers using real sprint and PR data?
Yes, Leanback reads your Jira tickets, GitHub PRs, and Linear issues overnight and surfaces blocked work, stalled PRs, and aging tickets before your 1:1s start. Unlike Range, which relies on team self-reports, Leanback pulls from the actual work, so your 1:1 agenda reflects what's really happening in the sprint, not what people remembered to type.
