stillsight
Now in early access

The AI coordination layer for engineering teams.

Your team's velocity feels slow and you can't prove why. Stillsight reads what's actually happening across your tickets, your code, and your deploys, holds the whole picture so you don't have to, and shows you what's really stuck.

If you're the one who answers for whether your team ships, this is for you. Lead, EM, scrum master, hands-on founder, doesn't matter what's on the business card.

Here's what's actually happening on Orbit this morning. 4 things need you.

Everything else is moving. You don't have to go digging.

The pre-standup digest. It comes to you, before you go looking.

The problem

The math of the job changed. Nobody handed you more hours.

You're managing more people than your manager managed, and you're still expected to ship code yourself. That's not a you problem. The math of the job changed. Teams got bigger, the IC work didn't go away, and nobody handed you more hours.

So you're pulled fifteen directions before lunch. Standup, a 1:1, an incident, a planning thing, three Slack threads, a PM who needs an answer. By the end of the day you've been busy the whole time and you couldn't tell anyone what actually moved.

That's the real tax. You're holding six people across twenty tickets in your head, and the second you context-switch, the picture falls out of it. You know something's lagging. You just can't point to where, or prove why.

And the stuff that's genuinely stuck doesn't come to you. People don't say they're blocked. Juniors don't want to look slow. The senior dev says "still on it" when she's been spinning since Tuesday. The worst one, where your team's waiting on another team that's sitting on a ticket, never comes up at all. So you find out late, in a status meeting, when your director asks why the release slipped and you don't have a good answer because you didn't know either.

You're not a bad manager. Nobody can hold all of it at once. The information exists, it's just scattered across systems that don't talk to each other, and looking at it means a morning of digging you don't have.

Holds the whole picture

The memory your team deserves.

Here's the thing about holding it all in your head. It works right up until it doesn't, and you don't get a warning. One sprint you're on top of everything, the next you're managing two more people across one more project, and the picture just stops fitting. Good work an engineer did in March is gone from your memory by June. The thing someone's been quietly grinding for three days is the thing you forget to ask about in the 1:1.

Stillsight holds it for you. Not the way notes do, where writing it down and finding it again is its own second job. It reads the work as it happens and keeps the whole picture current, so the state of your team is something you pull up, not something you carry. Then it hands you the part you need, when you need it. Before a 1:1: what they shipped, what they're stuck on, the thing worth asking about. Before a release: what's actually done and what only looks done.

What it doesn't do is think for you. It remembers and it retrieves. The read on the person, the call on the release, the hard conversation, those are still yours. A tool that did those for you would be a worse manager than you are. Stillsight just makes sure you're never making those calls half-blind because the details fell out of your head three context-switches ago.

What Stillsight does

It does the digging, and catches what falls through the gaps between your tools.

Stillsight watches the seam between what your team says (tickets), what the code shows (commits and PRs), and what actually shipped (deploys). The things that are stuck live in the gaps between those three, and Stillsight is the only thing looking at all three at once.

Merged, but failing QA
GitHubJiraQA

The thing that merged but didn't actually work.

The PR is merged. The ticket says in progress. QA quietly failed it this morning and there's no fix in flight. Every system looks fine on its own. Stillsight sees all three at once and tells you, three days before the release, not three days after.

Critical, no delivery path
Jira

The critical work nobody's actually doing.

The ticket's marked critical. It's in no sprint, has no release attached, hasn't moved. It didn't get deprioritized. It just fell through. Stillsight finds the important things quietly rotting in the backlog.

Blocked, same root cause
Jira

The blocker with no name.

Someone marked a ticket “blocked” and didn't say by what. Stillsight connects the dots, and when two people are stuck on the same hidden thing upstream, it tells you the one thing to unblock instead of chasing two symptoms.

Code says what tickets don't
GitHub

The code you don't have time to read.

You live in tickets and Slack, not the codebase. So you miss the revert that got reverted, the four pull requests stacked up waiting on one person, the repo that's gone silent for two weeks. Stillsight reads what the code is saying and tells you in plain English.

The lever

It drafts the move. It never writes the code.

Detection on its own is just a nicer way to feel stressed, and most tools stop there: here's a symptom, good luck. Stillsight finds the stuck thing and then drafts the move to clear it. That's the difference between a tool that reports on the work and one that helps you do it.

01

It catches the stuck thing

Across Jira, GitHub, and CI at once, in the seam where no single tool is looking.

02

It drafts the move to clear it

The nudge to the reviewer, the ask to the blocking team, the check-in with the person quietly spinning.

03

You approve, it sends

Read it, change a word if you want, send. Nothing ever leaves without you.

The line it won't cross

It won't write or fix your engineers' code. That's deliberate, not timid. A tool that submits code badly does their job and leaves them to clean it up, which is the exact "one more thing to feed" Stillsight exists to kill. Surfacing a true fact is right or wrong in two seconds. Submitting a fix is wrong in ways that cost hours and burn the trust that's the whole moat.

Where the levers go next

Still coordination, never code. Levers that act on systems, not work product:

  • Reassign a stale review to someone with bandwidth
  • Pull a broken ticket out of the release in one click
  • Re-trigger the deploy pipeline that never ran
  • File the cross-team escalation in their tracker, not just draft it

This is why the math works. You're not comparing Stillsight to a dashboard, you're comparing it to hiring a coordinator to chase all this down. Against a salary, the price is a rounding error.A good chief of staff doesn't write the code either. They make sure the right person does, fast.

A moment with a deadline

Is Friday's release actually safe to ship?

Right now that call gets made on vibes and a half-read Slack thread, every week, on a deadline. Everything reads done on the board. You hope it's true.

Stillsight already has every piece: what merged, what QA said, what's still open, what the deploy actually did. So you get the verdict first, in one sentence: here's everything going out, three of these aren't actually done, and here's the one that bites. Then the short list, each with its receipt and a lever.

However your team ships, continuous, release branches, or the messy hybrid in between, Stillsight reads what you actually do and flags the gap at the moment that matters for you. It learns the shape of your pipeline from the work, so it never asks you to change how you ship.

The go/no-go, with the receipts, on Tuesday. Not the postmortem on Monday.

The other 11 are clean. Stillsight checked merge state, QA, and deploy for every one, so the go/no-go isn't a vibe and a half-read Slack thread anymore.

The signature element

Every catch comes with the receipt.

No single source tells you the truth. A blocker is a one-sentence fact, then the timeline that proves it: events from Jira, GitHub, QA, and deploy on one line, the gap highlighted.

It's the one visual no single-tool dashboard can show, because the trap only appears in the seam between systems that each look fine on their own. The job here is to make "yep, that's real" your instant reaction.

  • Intent says done, code says reverted.
  • Code says merged, deploy says failed.
  • Ticket says shipped, the pipeline never ran.

Why this surfaced

Three systems each look fine alone. The PR is green, the ticket reads in-progress, the QA note sits unread. Only the three together say: this ships broken.

Now do something about it.
Stillsight drafts it. You read it, you send it.
"Not a blocker" teaches the radar. It gets quieter where you tell it to. It never ranks anyone.

Here's what's actually happening on Orbit this morning. 4 things need you.

Everything else is moving. You don't have to go digging.

Stillsight isn't a place you remember to visit. It lands in the channel you already live in, before standup, and only speaks when something needs you. Tap any item to see the receipt.

Why it survives the install

The person who's stuck hears about it first.

Every tool like this dies the same way. The team figures out it's a snitch, a feed of who's slow going up to management, and within a quarter or two they're gaming the numbers or quietly routing around it. You've probably watched it happen.

This is the one rule that stops that. When Stillsight spots a blocker, the person who's stuck hears about it first. Quietly, with an offer to help, not a report sent up the chain. They get the chance to unblock themselves before it ever lands on your desk.

That's the whole difference between a tool your team trusts and a tool your team games. Stillsight works for the person who's stuck, not against them. It just happens to make you look like you're paying attention to everything, because you are.

What the engineer sees — first, and privately

Before anything reaches a manager, the person who's stuck gets a quiet DM. A chance to fix it without raising their hand in standup.

Hey Lena — your PR on ORB-4188has been waiting on review since Tuesday. Looks like it's just sitting in Marcus's queue.

Want me to give him a friendly nudge? Nothing's gone to your lead.

This is the rule that makes a team trust it instead of gaming it. Stillsight works for the person who's stuck. It only reaches the lead if the blocker actually sticks around. It never ranks anyone.

Not another exec dashboard

Not metrics for someone else's meeting. Answers for yours.

Even the respectful metrics tools are still something you go look at. You open the dashboard, read the charts, and decide what to chase. Stillsight runs the other way: it watches the seam between your systems, catches the one stuck thing, and hands you the draft to fix it, before you ever went looking. Detection plus action, not a politer chart.

The exec-metrics tools

  • Built for a VP who wants a chart
  • Cycle time, DORA, a board-ready slide
  • Something you remember to go look at
  • Shows you symptoms, you find the fix
  • Charges you more every time you hire
  • Points the data up, at someone judging the team

Stillsight

  • Built for whoever owns shipping today
  • An inbox you work to zero, no gauges
  • Comes to you the moment something's stuck
  • Hands you the draft to fix it, you just send
  • One flat rate per team, growth is free
  • Points the data at the stuck person first

The AI angle

Code got faster. Shipping didn't.

This is the part nobody budgeted for. Your engineers open more PRs than they did a year ago, and the review queue, the integration backlog, and the coordination load all grew to match. The bottleneck just moved from writing the code to getting it out the door, and that's exactly the part no AI assistant touches.

That's the gap Stillsight fills. It watches the place the pileup actually lands, the seam between merged, reviewed, and shipped, and tells you what's stuck there before the queue turns into a slipped release.

The payoff that builds over time

And quietly, a record of everything you caught.

You spend the week catching things before they blow up. The broken PR you pulled before the release. The cross-team dependency you unstuck. The critical ticket you rescued from the backlog. Then nobody remembers, least of all in the meeting where you have to account for the team.

Stillsight keeps that record for you. A private log of what you caught, unblocked, and prevented. It builds itself out of the work you were already doing.

It's yours. You decide if any of it ever leaves your screen. This isn't an exec dashboard reporting on you. It's the receipts for the work that's usually invisible.
