About

Instila is an AI COO for software companies. It reads Stripe, Slack, GitHub, Linear, Jira and Notion, works out what matters, and acts on what it finds, reversibly, with a name on everything it does.

Features

Problem
Important signals and unresolved issues are scattered across work tools.
How it works
Watches selected Slack, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Notion, Calendar and Stripe activity to surface blockers, customer issues and other findings.
Result
Teams can be briefed on what needs attention without manually checking every source.
Why
Cross-tool context reveals gaps that a single-tool agent cannot see.
Problem
Company decisions, ownership and operating practices disappear into chat history.
How it works
Builds a memory of decisions, people, customers, practices and postmortems; each fact cites its source and can be edited.
Result
The organization retains a shared, inspectable picture of how it works.
Why
Persistent, correctable context is more useful than scrolling through old conversations.
Problem
Teams need help acting without losing oversight.
How it works
Prepares findings, replies, tickets and specs from source evidence; approvals and an autonomy setting govern what it can do.
Result
Teams can delegate routine follow-up while retaining control over consequential actions.
Why
Automation must be adjustable and accountable rather than all-or-nothing.
Problem
Connected-tool access can expose too much information or enable unsafe actions.
How it works
Lets users select channels, repositories and projects individually; actions show their destination, carry a person’s name, and irreversible actions require approval.
Result
Companies can adopt automation with explicit scope and traceability.
Why
Granular access and a clear audit trail make proactive operation reviewable.
Problem
Payment issues may require immediate but reversible intervention.
How it works
Can act in Stripe, including pausing collection, only in ways it can undo.
Result
Teams can address selected payment-collection situations with a reversible action.
Why
The product limits its current operational write capability to a reversible scope.
