AI Assistant for Engineering Managers
GAIA helps engineering managers automate sprint reporting, track team velocity, manage 1:1 prep, and stay connected to technical work without micromanaging.
Engineering managers balance technical leadership with people management, and the split rarely favors deep work. A Jellyfish State of Engineering Management report found that EMs spend an average of 22 hours per week in meetings and communications. Keeping pulse on team health, sprint velocity, PR review times, and cross-team dependencies while preparing for 1:1s and stakeholder meetings creates a constant operational burden. GAIA automates the data gathering and reporting so you can focus on unblocking your team.
Challenges Engineering Managers Face Every Day
Sprint retrospective and velocity reporting requires manually aggregating data from Linear and GitHub
Preparing for 1:1s means reviewing each report's recent PRs, tickets, and Slack activity
Cross-team dependency tracking and escalation management consume hours of coordination
Balancing technical context with management responsibilities leads to shallow engagement with both
How GAIA Helps Engineering Managers
Sprint Analytics & Reporting
GAIA aggregates sprint data from Linear and GitHub, including velocity trends, PR cycle times, and completion rates. It generates formatted reports for stakeholders and identifies patterns worth discussing in retros.
1:1 Preparation
Before each 1:1, GAIA compiles a briefing with the team member's recent PRs, completed tickets, open blockers, and any Slack discussions where they were mentioned. Walk into every 1:1 prepared.
Dependency & Escalation Tracking
GAIA monitors Linear and Slack for cross-team blockers, flags dependencies at risk, and helps you escalate issues before they impact delivery timelines.
Integrations for Engineering Managers
GAIA connects with the tools engineering managers already use, creating an intelligent automation layer across your entire workflow.
