Keep context as work moves.

Keep messages, tasks, documents and decisions beside the work they belong to, so the reason behind an action stays visible.

Manifesto

Your team isn't distracted. They're commuting.

Every switch between Slack, Jira, Notion and Zoom is a micro-commute — a moment to re-open a thought, dozens of times a day. That's a traffic jam inside every knowledge worker. Polybase doesn't make the tabs faster. It removes them.

Before · After

Deep work, not deep switching.

Legacy flow

Read a Slack message
→ open Jira → search the ticket → copy the link → paste back.
Join a Zoom call
→ try to find the Notion doc → lose the slide in chat → ask for it again.
Review a PR
→ GitHub → Linear → Slack thread → back to GitHub. Context shreds.
Write a spec
Three tools open, two transcripts missing, one stale roadmap link.

With Polybase

Turn a message into a ticket
Right-click, assign, done. The thread becomes the task's history.
Calls stay with the work
Every call happens in its channel, and the call chat stays behind with the project. AI summaries are coming soon.
One surface for reviews
The GitHub connector links PRs, branches and commits to tasks, so the discussion stays on the work.
Specs write themselves
Polybase AI drafts specs from the conversation that already happened.

The trick

We treat context as the first-class citizen.

(01)

Unified surface

Chat, tasks, docs, calls and calendar share a state, a cursor and a search.

(02)

Persistent threads

Every conversation stays attached to the thing it created — for life.

(03)

Context-aware AI

One copilot reads every channel, doc and ticket so no one has to re-explain.

What changes

Quiet, by design.

Workspace

Chat, tasks, docs, boards and calls share one home.

1 click

Message to task

Any message becomes a tracked task without leaving the thread.

Search box

Full-text search across messages, docs and tasks.

Modules, one context

The AI assistant reads the same workspace you do.

How it works

Four unifications that undo the switching.

01
Thread = Task
Every message can become a tracked ticket without leaving the conversation.
02
Call = Context
Every call happens inside its channel, with live captions today and AI summaries coming soon.
03
Doc = Conversation
Every doc has a live comment rail that pipes into the right channel.
04
AI = Working memory
Polybase AI remembers what the team decided — so people don't have to.

FAQ

About reducing context switches.

No. Polybase mirrors the rituals you already have — standups, planning, reviews — and just removes the tool-hopping between them.

You can keep GitHub. The connector links PRs, branches and commits to tasks and moves statuses automatically. There's no Linear sync — most teams move their boards into Polybase.

Fast. The first time a thread becomes a task without opening another tool, the effect is hard to miss.
