Steady is all about getting you and your team up to speed, at speed. So we’ve been working hard all summer to make writing updates much faster and reading updates much better. Read on for details about our new AI summaries, improvements to our Github integration, and a brand new ability to follow goals & teams.

⚡️ Team Highlights & Quick Fill

Get the big picture fast with Team Highlights in your Daily Digest, which now includes distilled summaries of everyone’s intentions and activity stats to give you a broad sense of work across the team.

Quick Fill makes writing check-ins faster and easier by summarizing your previous intentions and combining them with a “highlight-worthy” activity. Quick fill even summarizes PR descriptions for you so you don’t have to repeat yourself.

🧑‍💻 GitHub PR review activities

PR reviews are a significant part of many teams’ workflows, so we updated our GitHub integration to include PR review activity automatically.

Review requests, approvals, and comments are now included in check-ins and displayed on the activity feed, giving everyone complete context on what’s happening in GitHub.

For most teams, the updates will work automatically, but if you don’t see any review activity, adjust your webhook settings in GitHub to include pull request activities.

👀 Follow teams and goals

Are you the manager of an engineering team but need to know what’s going with design? Now you can follow other teams and Live Goals in Steady to get updates without having to be a member of that team or goal.

You’ll get updates in your Daily Digest and receive notifications in email/Slack/MS Teams, just like the teams you’re a member of. No more searching around for information or context, just read your feed.

Thanks for reading!
