What is Pulse
A short introduction to Pulse and the problems it solves.
Pulse pulls together what's actually happening across a team's work: commits and PRs from GitHub, tickets from Linear and Jira, conversations from Slack, into one continuously updated view.
Teams also post short updates (text, screenshots, video) that become the running record of the project, instead of status calls and after-the-fact reports, and get reused to automatically generate changelogs.
Why now
The bottleneck used to be writing code. AI has erased that bottleneck: teams now ship in days what used to take months. But if the surrounding process is still slow, reviews sitting for weeks, backlogs built for a slower pace, irregular releases, speed in code doesn't translate into speed of delivery. It just hides the real problem better. Faster code means nothing without a faster process.
What it solves
- Work goes unnoticed without a shared view of activity, slowdowns hide until someone stumbles onto them.
- Status updates don't scale across multiple concurrent projects, and rarely reflect what actually happened.
- Oversight is hard with lean, freelance-heavy teams. Pulse makes updates self-reporting instead of manager-dependent.
- Speed ≠ delivery. Pulse looks at the whole lifecycle (requirements, review, testing, release), not just commits.
How it works
- Aggregates team’s activities from tools they already use, no manual status assembly
- Flags anomalies like low commit activity, stale reviews, uneven workload across the team, and etc, before they turn into real delays and get expensive.
- Turns activity into updates: no more status calls, just a changelog and help center that stay up to date on their own.
