Atona/Workspaces
Workspaces · for engineering teams

Your team,
aligned.

Atona Workspaces reads across Slack, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Gmail or Outlook, Drive, and Notion — captures the decisions, blockers, owners, open questions, and follow-ups, and writes the weekly status your VP would actually read. With citations, every line.

Why now

AI made the work faster.
Aligning the team didn't.

Code ships in hours. Decisions land in side threads. Owners change without anyone posting. Friday's status deck is still a scramble — written from memory.

Today

You scramble for the truth

Scroll Slack on Sunday night. Scrape PR titles. Ping three owners for status. Reconcile what the spec said with what actually shipped. Write the status doc from memory and call it a guess.

With Atona

The truth comes to you

Atona reads every channel, repo, and ticket the team works in. Tracks what was decided, who owns it, what's blocking, and what's open. Posts a weekly status — with citations to every source — before you ask.

Atona reads where work happens. And writes what your team needs to read.

Where work lives

Three surfaces.
One memory.

Not all coordination lives in cloud APIs. Some lives in the browser. Some lives on your computer. Atona reaches into all three with the same memory and the same citation discipline — pick exactly what to expose, source by source.

1 Cloud APIs

Granted source by source — channel, repo, project, label, folder, page. Nothing else is read.

Live
Slack

Channels, threads, pinned messages. Every decision and blocker that surfaces in conversation.

channel-by-channel · DMs never
Live
GitHub

PRs, reviews, issues, releases. The decisions that get made in code, with the diff that proves it.

repo-by-repo · public + private
Live
Linear

Issues, projects, cycles. The plan as the team has actually committed to it — kept current.

team-by-team · scoped per workspace
Live
Jira

Issues, sprints, comments. For the teams who live in Atlassian — Cloud and Data Center.

project-by-project · custom fields preserved
Live
Gmail

Project email threads — vendor responses, customer asks, exec threads. The decisions that get made in inboxes.

label-scoped · personal mail stays personal
Live
Outlook

Microsoft 365 inboxes — same shape as Gmail, via Microsoft Graph. Exec threads, vendor replies, and customer asks that live in Outlook.

folder-scoped · personal mail stays personal
Live
Google Drive

Docs and Sheets — where the canonical spec, OKRs, and status trackers live. Atona reads what the team actually writes down.

folder-by-folder · Docs & Sheets
Live
Notion

Project pages, RFCs, retros, OKRs. The team's writing surface — kept in sync with the conversations and the code.

page-by-page · with linked databases
2 Browser · Atona Companion

The Atona Companion extension turns any web page into a capture surface — useful when the team's work lives somewhere Atona doesn't have a direct integration.

Read the page; draft in any compose box; save what matters into the right workspace.Internal portals · Customer dashboards · Anything behind SSO

Most coordination tools assume work lives in the cloud. A lot of it doesn't. Specs you're drafting in Apple Notes, threads in Mail.app, exports sitting in ~/Downloads, the iMessage where the actual decision was made — none of it has an API.

The Bridge is a small menu-bar app on your Mac that gives Atona a controlled, two-way local presence.

Upload
Drop a file Menu-bar drag, into workspace memory.
Apple apps Notes, Mail, Reminders — captured locally.
iMessage Threads where decisions actually happen.
Local tools Project tools that never see the cloud.

App handoff Open in Mail · Logic · Shortcuts.

Local-first by design. Sensitive material can be processed on-device, with only the structured signal sent upstream.

LiveiMessage capture · Standard + Pro More capabilities rolling out on the same primitive.
The acid test

The status report your VP actually reads.

Once a week, Atona writes the truth — what shipped, what slipped, what's open. Every line cited back to the original thread, PR, or ticket. No fabrication. No vibes.

  • Decisions made, with the thread or PR they were made in.
  • Open blockers, with owners and how long they've been open.
  • Open questions, with who asked and when.
  • A short narrative on top — written from the data, not made up.

Posted
Auth migration landed two of three milestones this week. The vendor SDK / PKCE blocker is the only thing standing between the dark-launch and the cutover. One open question on legacy /v1/login deprecation — Jordan asked Thursday, no decision yet.

Ask anything

Stop asking "do you remember when…"

Type a question. Atona retrieves the moments — across channels, code, and tickets — and synthesizes a cited answer. The team's institutional memory, on tap.

  • Every answer cites its sources. Click through to the original thread, PR, or ticket.
  • Per-source visibility. Members only see what they're allowed to see — never leaked through synthesis.
  • Members can correct anything. Wrong attribution, missed context — fix it inline; the correction is logged and learned from.
Workspace · Platform team asked by Tayo
What did we decide about auth, and why?
Atona · with citations
Two decisions last sprint: refresh-token rotation over session cookies (Maya's call after Monday's security review), and cutting SAML for Q3 while keeping OIDC (PR #842, Wednesday). Rationale captured in the Auth Migration RFC; vendor confirmed PKCE compatibility on Thursday.

Owners & blockers

Who owns it.
What's blocking it.

Look up any project. See live ownership, open blockers, and questions waiting on a decision — read off the actual work, not a stale doc.

  • Owners derived from the conversations and the code — kept current.
  • Blockers and risks bubble up the moment they surface in the team's tools.
  • Stale items, decision reversals, and orphaned work flagged automatically.

Follow-ups

Nothing slips.
Nothing piles on.

When work goes quiet — a blocker no one's posted about, a question waiting on a decision — Atona checks in with the owner. Privately. Help, not pressure.

  • Private DMs, never the channel. The owner hears about it; the team doesn't.
  • One soft nudge. Then it's their call. No daily pings, no escalation cascades by default.
  • Working hours respected. No follow-ups at 9pm on Saturday, or while someone's on leave.
  • Mute anything, anytime. Per item, per project, per workspace. The owner stays in charge of their own attention.
Atona · DM to Maya Fri · 11:42 AM

Hey Maya —

Quick check on the vendor SDK blocker you flagged Tuesday. Anything moved, or still in flight?

No pressure either way. Happy to leave it as-is in next week's status.

I'm on it Mark resolved Mute for this item
From connect to status

Three steps. Then it runs.

Set it up once. Atona reads in the background and posts when it has something worth posting.

1

Create a workspace

Name the project, invite your team. Pick the role each member gets — owner, admin, member, viewer, or single-source guest.

2

Connect your tools

Slack channels, GitHub repos, Linear teams, Jira projects, Gmail labels, Drive folders, Notion pages — pick exactly what to expose. Nothing else is read.

3

Read the status

Atona posts the weekly status to a dedicated channel. Ask questions any time. Correct anything that's wrong.

Built for trust

A coordination tool that
doesn't leak.

The product is only useful if the team trusts it. Six guarantees that hold from day one.

DMs are never ingested

Atona only reads what you explicitly connect — channels, repos, and projects. Direct messages are never indexed under any condition.

Per-source visibility

Pick exactly which channels, repos, and projects Atona can see. Members can be scoped to a single source — perfect for vendors and contractors.

Every answer is cited

Atona never says "X is true" without a one-click jump to the source. If a member can't see the source, the answer is omitted — never synthesized through.

Members correct inline

Wrong owner, wrong attribution, missed nuance — any member can fix it. Corrections are logged in the audit trail and feed back into how the team's coordination is read.

Personal Atona stays private

Your personal email, calendar, and texts never enter the workspace. Bridging — like sharing your busy/free calendar with a project — is opt-in, per member, every time.

Full audit log

Every event Atona read, every entity it extracted, every status it posted — all viewable per workspace. Replay what Atona knew at any moment.
