Same tool.
Different superpowers.

Yesterday:
→ Merged auth service refactor (PR #310) — 2.5h deep work
→ Reviewed 2 PRs on payments repo, approved 1
→ Updated sprint board — moved 3 tickets to done

Today:
→ PR #312 still needs your review (opened yesterday)
→ JWT token refresh is mid-flow — you stopped at the retry logic

Blockers: none detected

You've been context-switching for 15 minutes — focus score: 22%.

Your last deep session was auth service refactor at 11:45 AM. You were in the JWT retry logic, about 80% through the implementation.

Want me to help you close the noise and pick up where you left off?

Friday afternoon you were deep in the payments webhook handler — 1.8h across 2 sessions. You had the retry logic working but left the idempotency check incomplete (last file: webhook-handler.ts:142).

You also had an open PR (#308) that got 2 review comments you haven't addressed yet.

Want me to pull up those files and the PR?

Found 4 automatable patterns in your last 2 weeks:

1. Standup updates — You spend 15 min every morning summarizing yesterday's work for Slack. I already have all the data. Automation: I post your standup to #backend at 9:15 AM every morning. Already set up.

2. PR review reminders — You check GitHub for open PRs assigned to you 3–4× per day (~20 min total). Automation: I alert you once when a new PR needs your review, with file count and priority.

3. Sprint board cleanup — Every Friday you spend ~30 min moving tickets in Notion and updating status. It's always the same: match what you actually worked on to the board. Automation: I update ticket statuses Friday at 5 PM based on your actual activity.

4. Context recovery — Every Monday and after lunch you spend 10–15 min figuring out where you left off. Automation: I drop a "pick up here" message with file, line number, and next steps when you open VS Code after a break longer than 2 hours.

Total: ~6 hours/week of dev workflow overhead eliminated. Want me to activate all four?

Heads up — Search feature PRD has been idle for 3 days.

Last session: Monday, 1h 40m. You were writing the edge cases section and had open comments from engineering.

The sprint planning meeting is tomorrow. Want me to pull up where you left off so you can close it out?

Based on your activity this week:

→ Search feature PRD is 90% complete — pending eng review of edge cases
→ Sprint velocity is up 12% from last week (8 tickets closed vs 6)
→ Onboarding flow redesign kicked off — initial Figma wireframes in progress
→ Blocked: API rate limit issue waiting on backend team (flagged Monday)
→ Next week: sprint planning Monday, user research sessions Wed/Thu

Here's your context for the product sync:

What you worked on since the last sync: Search PRD (4.2h), sprint board management (1.8h), stakeholder emails (1.1h)

Open items: eng comments on PRD edge cases (unresolved), API rate limit blocker (still open), onboarding wireframes (waiting on design feedback)

Decisions needed: Search scope — full-text vs fuzzy matching. You were leaning toward fuzzy based on your notes from Tuesday.

Found 5 patterns that are eating your calendar:

1. Meeting prep — You spend 15–20 min before every sync gathering context across Notion, Slack, and Docs. You have 8 syncs per week. Automation: I drop a context brief into your DMs 10 minutes before every meeting with open items, recent activity, and decisions needed.

2. Weekly status email — Every Friday, ~45 min writing the leadership update. Same format every time. Automation: I draft it Friday at 3 PM. You review and send.

3. Sprint board grooming — You spend 1h/week reconciling what actually happened with ticket statuses. Automation: I flag mismatches daily — tickets marked "in progress" with no activity for 48h, or done work with no ticket moved.

4. Blocker detection — You find out about blockers in standup, 12–24h after they happen. Automation: I alert you within 2 hours when someone's deep work session ends abruptly and they switch to Slack/Stack Overflow — probable blocker.

5. Stakeholder question answering — You get the same "where are we on X?" questions 3–4× per week across Slack and email. Automation: I maintain a live project status dashboard you can link to. Auto-updated hourly.

Total: ~10 hours/week of PM overhead automated. Want me to set these up?

Your week (41.2h total):

Product: 12.4h (30%) — roadmap, PRD writing, design reviews
Sales: 8.1h (20%) — outreach, demo calls, proposals
Reactive / Slack: 9.8h (24%) — answering team questions, unplanned fires
Ops: 6.2h (15%) — invoicing, vendor calls, legal
Hiring: 4.7h (11%) — scorecards, interviews, pipeline review

24% reactive work is high. Last week it was 18%. The spike was mostly Slack — you answered 47 messages that could have been handled by your team leads.

Wins: Shipped search feature (14h of deep work over 2 weeks), closed 2 new enterprise leads, hired senior backend eng.

Challenges: Onboarding churn is still high — you spent 8h this month on support tickets that should be self-serve. API stability issues cost ~6h of reactive firefighting.

Next month: Based on your roadmap sessions: self-serve onboarding revamp, payment provider migration, Series A deck prep.

Want me to polish this into a send-ready email?

Three patterns I'd flag:

1. Slack triage — You spend avg 1.8h/day answering team questions. 60% of these are from 2 channels (#support, #ops) and could be routed to your team leads.

2. Invoice review — Every Monday you spend ~45 min in Google Sheets reviewing invoices. This is a bookkeeper task.

3. Scheduling — You spent 2.3h this week going back and forth on meeting times across Gmail and Slack. A scheduling tool would eliminate this.

Here's everything I can automate based on your last 3 weeks:

1. Investor update draft — You spend 2h/month reconstructing what happened. Automation: I compile a running draft all month, organized by wins/challenges/next. You just polish and send on the 1st.

2. Weekly time audit — You manually categorize your time every Friday. Automation: I send your product/sales/ops/hiring/reactive breakdown every Friday at 5 PM with week-over-week trends.

3. Slack triage routing — 60% of your Slack responses are questions your team leads could answer. Automation: I flag which messages are "founder-only" vs. delegatable, and draft suggested responses for the ones you should handle.

4. Meeting prep briefs — You context-switch hard before every meeting. Automation: 10-minute-before brief with everything relevant from the last week — what you discussed, what's changed, what's pending.

5. Hiring pipeline summary — You check the hiring doc 2× per day for updates. Automation: I send a daily digest at 8 AM — new applicants, interview feedback, pipeline movement.

6. End-of-day debrief — Automation: I send a 6 PM summary of what you accomplished, what's still open, and what needs attention tomorrow.

Total: ~12 hours/week back. Setting up all six now.

Here's everything on Meridian:

Last touchpoint: Discovery call on Thursday — they're evaluating 2 competitors, main concern is onboarding speed. Your call notes mention their VP of Ops wants a pilot by March.

Email thread: You sent a follow-up Friday with the ROI calculator. They opened it twice but haven't replied.

Proposal status: You started a custom proposal Monday (Google Docs, 40 min) — it's about 60% done. Pricing section is blank.

Deal value: $48k ARR, currently in "Proposal" stage in HubSpot.

Apex Corp is going cold — no activity in 5 days.

Last action: You sent the custom proposal on Thursday. They haven't responded and you haven't followed up.

This deal is worth $36k ARR and was moving fast before the gap. Their eval deadline is end of month.

Want me to draft a follow-up email that references where you left off?

This week (38.6h total):

Active selling: 21.4h (55%) — calls, proposals, outreach, follow-ups
CRM admin: 7.2h (19%) — updating HubSpot, logging notes, pipeline grooming
Internal: 6.8h (18%) — team syncs, forecasting, Slack
Research: 3.2h (8%) — competitor analysis, prospect research

Your selling time is up from 48% last week. The CRM admin is still high — you spent 3h just updating deal stages and logging call notes. That could be automated.

Found 5 time sinks I can eliminate:

1. CRM logging — You spend 45 min/day updating HubSpot after calls and emails. Automation: I log every touchpoint automatically — emails sent, call duration, proposal views, deal stage changes. Your CRM stays current without you touching it.

2. Follow-up emails — You draft 6–8 follow-ups per week, usually referencing the last conversation. ~40 min total. Automation: I draft personalized follow-ups based on the last touchpoint and deal context. You review and hit send.

3. Pre-call research — You spend 10 min before each call reviewing emails and notes. 5 calls/day = 50 min. Automation: I drop a deal context brief 5 minutes before every scheduled call.

4. Pipeline review prep — You spend 1h every Monday prepping for the pipeline review meeting. Automation: I generate the full pipeline status with deal movement, stale deals, and win probability changes every Monday at 8 AM.

5. Cold lead reactivation — Warm leads from 2–3 weeks ago go untouched because new ones take priority. Automation: I queue up stale warm leads every morning with a suggested re-engagement message based on the last interaction.

Total: ~8 hours/week of sales admin eliminated. More time closing, less time logging. Activate?

This week's marketing output:

Content: Published 2 blog posts (5.8h writing + editing), drafted webinar landing page
Email: Built 3-part nurture sequence for webinar promo (2.4h in HubSpot), sent Tuesday newsletter
Paid: Reviewed and approved 4 ad creatives in Figma, updated targeting on LinkedIn campaign
Analytics: 3.1h in GA and HubSpot dashboards — mostly monitoring Q1 push performance
Coordination: 4.2h in Slack and meetings — launch copy alignment, design reviews

Coordination took 4.2h — up from 2.8h last week. Most of it was the launch copy back-and-forth in Slack.

Heads up — Webinar landing page has been idle since Monday.

Last session: 50 minutes in Google Docs, you finished the hero copy but the registration form and speaker bios are still blank.

The webinar is next Thursday and the email promo sequence is already built — it's pointing to this page. You probably need this done by Tuesday to give the promo 2 days to run.

Want me to pull up where you left off?

Last 30 days of content work (62.4h total):

Blog posts: 24.1h (39%) — avg 4.8h per post, 5 posts published
Email campaigns: 14.6h (23%) — sequences, newsletters, A/B tests
Landing pages: 12.8h (21%) — webinar page, product update page, pricing test
Social: 10.9h (17%) — LinkedIn posts, Twitter threads, scheduling

Blog posts take the most time but your last 3 got 2× the traffic of landing pages. Social is 17% of effort but drives only 4% of signups based on your GA sessions.

Might be worth shifting some social time to blog or email.

Found 5 patterns burning hours every week:

1. Weekly activity report — You spend 1h+ every Friday compiling what the team shipped across channels. Automation: I generate the full report by channel every Friday at 3 PM — content published, emails sent, campaigns launched, hours by activity.

2. Campaign deadline tracking — You manually check project status across Notion and Docs before every standup. Automation: I send a daily morning brief with every campaign's status, days until deadline, and what's at risk of slipping.

3. Content performance check-ins — You open GA 4–5× per day to check how the latest post or campaign is doing. ~30 min/day. Automation: I send a single daily digest at noon with performance highlights — what's trending up, what's underperforming, what needs a boost.

4. Cross-team alignment — You spend 3h/week in Slack threads aligning copy, designs, and launch timing with other teams. Automation: I maintain a shared launch tracker that auto-updates when anyone on the team works on a campaign asset. Fewer "where are we on this?" messages.

5. Monthly content audit — You spend half a day every month tallying content output, time-per-piece, and channel allocation. Automation: I maintain a running monthly dashboard and send the final audit on the last day of the month.

Total: ~9 hours/week of marketing ops automated. Want me to activate all five?
