You Already Manage Your Team. You Just Don't Have a System.
Your 1:1 notes are in Google Docs. Goals are in a spreadsheet. Performance reviews are a panicked scramble every six months. And the person-shaped picture of each engineer? That lives in your head.
You don't need your team on another tool. You need a better system for the work you're already doing.

Structured Around People, Not Pages
Every note, goal, and action item is linked to a person on your team. Not buried in a folder you'll never find again.
Team Roster
Add people by name, role, and level. They never know they're in the system. No invites, no accounts.
1:1 Notes
Structured notes per person with running history. Private thoughts stay private. Never start a 1:1 from a blank page again.
Action Items
Track commitments from every 1:1. See what's overdue before your next meeting. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Goal Tracking
Set and track goals on behalf of each team member. Monitor progress, flag at-risk goals, and tie them to reviews.
Performance Reviews
Write reviews from months of accumulated notes — not a frantic week of trying to remember what happened.
9-Box Talent Grid
Place people on a performance x potential matrix. Track movement over time. Know who to invest in and who needs support.
An AI That Knows Your Team
Vera works across all your notes, goals, and reviews. Ask questions in plain English and get answers grounded in months of your observations.
- "Who am I overdue for a 1:1 with?"
- "Summarize my last 3 months of notes on Alex"
- "Draft a review for Sam based on my notes"
- "What patterns do you see across my team?"
