Why this helps
Retrospectives feel important but keep getting skipped. You want to review the week's wins and blockers, but there's no time.
- Creates accountability and reflection without requiring extra meetings
- Reduces the mental burden of remembering what happened all week
- Makes team progress visible through chat history instead of guessing
- Captures wins that people often overlook in the daily grind

Questions about this workflow
How does Notis decide what's important in the chat history?
By default, it includes messages with reactions or from key people. You can ask Notis to focus on specific topics or keywords.
Can I customize the retrospective format?
Yes. Ask Notis to organize it as wins/blockers/action items, or by person, or by project.
What if the retrospective is really long?
Notis will summarize it down to highlights and give you an option to see the full chat history if needed.
