What Chief takes off your plate.

  • Boards kept current.
  • Unanswered questions, flagged.
  • Chat asks turned into cards.
  • Reviews booked across calendars.
  • Notes drafted from your bullets.

It asks first.

These always wait for you.

  • Every invite, before it sends.
  • Every email, before it sends.
  • Every file, before it is shared.
  • Every card or file it would delete.

After each change, Chief re-reads it. If something did not land, it tells you.

Questions.

What does Chief do for engineering managers?

Chief reports how boards in Tasks are tracking, turns Chat messages into cards, books reviews in Calendar and drafts notes in Docs.

Does Chief send or share anything on its own?

No. Sending, sharing and deleting always wait for your yes. You see what will go out, to whom, and can edit it first.

How do I know Chief did it right?

After a change, Chief re-reads what it wrote. If a change did not land, it tells you instead of claiming it did. Every step it took is listed in the thread.

Will it move cards without telling me?

Chief updates cards when you ask. It lists every change it made, then re-reads the board to confirm it. Deleting a card always waits for you.

Done. And checked.

Bring a real task. See it done.
