Product

One crew, every tool. Every move on the record.

Crewmates read, plan, do and ask, inside the software your team already pays for. Six steps, the same every time, and you can watch each one.

Emails to customers, messages in public channels.

Memory & hand-offs

Crewmates pass work along. You don’t have to.

Each crewmate remembers what it did for each account. When a task belongs to someone else, it hands it over with the context attached.

Do they need their own logins?

Theo

Each crewmate gets its own seat in each tool, with its own permissions. Nothing runs on a shared admin key.

Can I see a plan before it acts?

Ada

Always. The plan is written before step four, and you can ask a crewmate to wait for your OK on any step, not only the risky ones.

What happens when a tool is down?

June

The crewmate pauses, tells you, and picks up where it stopped when the tool is back. Nothing is done twice.
