What Ken Does
Ken stays in its lane. It doesn't try to be a project manager or replace your tools. It just handles the communication layer that everything else ignores.
Ask anything in plain English. "What's blocked on the mobile launch?" "Is the API bug fixed?" Ken understands the question and pulls the answer directly from your project data.
Ken learns what matters to each person and sends updates before they ask. The right information, to the right people, at the right time — without anyone configuring a thing.
Engineers get commit-level detail. Executives get plain-English summaries. Ken adapts its response depth and language to match who's asking.
Jira, Linear, GitHub — connected in minutes. Ken reads your existing data as-is. No remapping, no migration, no custom fields to fill in.
Tell Ken you want more detail, or fewer updates, or to stop tracking a particular project. It remembers. Every interaction makes it sharper for your team.
Your project data is scoped to your organization. It never crosses contexts. Access controls follow your existing Slack and tool permissions.
