# Leanback

> Leanback is an AI assistant for engineering managers. It automates daily team check-ins, reads every ticket and calendar event, and delivers a structured action plan inside Slack — before your first coffee.

Engineering managers spend hours each week chasing status updates, cross-referencing tools, and running coordination meetings that could be automated. Leanback handles the operational layer so managers can lead instead of coordinate.

## Key capabilities

- **Automated team check-ins** — Leanback messages each team member directly in Slack, collects their updates, and compiles everything automatically
- **Multi-tool awareness** — reads Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, GitHub, and calendar events; no manual data entry
- **Daily briefings** — every morning delivers a ranked digest of what's moving, what's blocked, and what needs attention
- **Calendar intelligence** — understands your upcoming meetings and surfaces relevant context in advance
- **Works inside Slack** — your team never has to open a new tool
