Retrospective room
Retros people don't dread
A real-time retro board with 12 formats and 7 card flavors, from GIFs to health checks. Vote, group, get an AI summary, and export the actions. The retro ends with a list, not a shrug.
Retrospective runs the whole ceremony in one board, live. Pick from 12 formats like Mad-Sad-Glad, 4Ls, and Start-Stop-Continue, and let the team add cards in real time. Seven card flavors, including GIFs, polls, health checks, and drawings, keep retros honest and occasionally fun.
When the cards are in, group the duplicates, vote on what matters, and walk the top items in presentation mode. The AI meeting summary captures the discussion, and actions export to CSV, so what the team agreed actually leaves the room.

Everything inside Retrospective
Twelve formats
Mad-Sad-Glad, 4Ls, Start-Stop-Continue, and nine more. Rotate formats so the retro keeps surfacing new things.
Seven card flavors
Plain cards, GIFs, polls, health checks, drawings, and more. Different flavors draw out different kinds of honesty.
Real-time board
Everyone adds cards live during the session. No pre-work spreadsheet, no one person transcribing the meeting.
Voting and grouping
Group similar cards, then vote to find what the team actually wants to fix. Discussion time goes to the top issues.
AI meeting summary
Get an AI-written summary of the retro, so the discussion is captured without someone playing stenographer.
Actions to CSV
Export the agreed actions to CSV and put them where work happens. The retro produces follow-through, not just feelings.

FAQ
Common questions
Does it work for remote and hybrid teams?+
Yes. The board is real-time, so remote teammates add cards, vote, and group together during the call. Presentation mode keeps everyone looking at the same thing while you walk the results.
How do we keep retros from getting stale?+
Rotate among the 12 formats, from Mad-Sad-Glad to 4Ls to health checks, and mix in card flavors like GIFs, polls, and drawings. A different structure asks different questions, and different questions surface different problems.
What happens to the action items?+
Export them to CSV and carry them into planning, and let the AI meeting summary preserve the context behind each one. The point of the tooling is that agreements survive contact with the next sprint.
Who writes up the retro afterwards?+
Nobody has to. The AI meeting summary captures the session, and the board itself, with its grouped and voted cards, remains as the record. Facilitators facilitate instead of taking minutes.
