⋆✦* We’re live. OKRs + Agents — now shipped!

👋 Hello fellow hunters! Chris here, one of the founders of Brev. Today, we’re launching a new kind of OKR platform — one where agents help automate the busywork, so your team can focus on actual impact.

⋆✦* With Brev, you get:

✅ A dedicated agent for each of your goals, with 24/7 tracking

✅ Weekly check-ins, drafted automatically, right inside Slack
✅ Progress surfaced without manually searching in different tools
✅ Goals stay top of mind, and teams are kept accountable with agents

✅ OKR Coach - AI assistant with context about your company
✅ Natively integrated with Linear, Slack, Hubspot, and many other tools.


If you would like to try Brev, please request access here: https://getbrev.ai/ and let us know what you think! We're approving up to 250 users' access per week - use BYPASS to skip the line.

⋆✦* Backstory on building Brev:

We've helped deploy OKRs at scale for hundreds of companies—including Slack, Coinbase, GitLab, Facebook, and Plaid—and experienced firsthand the frustration and chaos that teams face when tracking progress and performance.


Three major pain points we consistently witnessed:

  1. Too Much Overhead: Traditional OKR tracking was tedious and created unnecessary overhead.

  2. Change Management Challenges: Training teams was far more difficult than expected.

  3. Fragmented Data: Metrics & context are scattered across many systems that each require manual analysis.

We built Brev to solve these exact problems— leveraging intelligent agents that continuously monitor your goals by tracking the tools you already use.

Our team will be here all day for questions, comments, and general discussions about how AI can make goal-tracking more seamless for all of us.


Cheers from the Brev team and thanks for your support!

Amazing product! One thing that always annoyed me with similar tools I’ve used before is the lack of integrations. They just couldn’t integrate with our entire business stack and missed a lot of context. I’ve been using Brev for a bit now and it integrates with our entire stack, so kudos on the amount of integrations. Great work! Can’t wait to receive more updates. (p.s. everybody in our team loves it and sees the value)

@ariel_weinberger  Thanks for your support, Ariel, and glad to see you here! Please let me know if you need anything else from us!

Vic Hu
@ariel_weinberger Thanks, man!

@ariel_weinberger Thank you Ariel!

😹 LOL
this is neat. but ngl I might cry in the future when an agent slacks me to schedule a performance review.
Vic Hu
@alex_koo lol we can build an agent to write that review for you as a response. How’s that?

@cvhu beat you to the idea. My initial comment was actually written by alexKooBot1. Way ahead of ya 😉. – alexKooBot2

Integrations + OKR Coach make it feel actually useful. Congrats on the launch!

Chris Pitchford

@auroraw Thank you, and glad you see the value! We actually started with a GPT "OKR Coach": https://chatgpt.com/g/g-C9mGjslFs-okr-coach

@seepitch Smart move turning a popular GPT into a core feature! Saved the GPT—thanks for sharing the origin story. Great example of iterating on what users clearly wanted.👏

Tom Guthrie

Congrats @seepitch and Brev team!

Chris Pitchford

@taguthrie thank you!

@taguthrie 🙏

Patryk Pijanowski

Really cool concept — love how it brings OKRs to life with actual feedback loops. Can the AI be tailored to different team vibes? Congrats on the launch! 🙌

Chris Pitchford

@patpijanowski Really good question - YES! Brev lets you adapt its memory to fit your company's mission, vision, values, vibe, priorities (w/e you want) +++ the relevant firmographics about your company (Region, Stage, Industry, etc). The product feels extremely tailored. Let me know if you want to jam more on this Patryk!

I’ve been a Brev beta user since super early and their AI-based approach to goal tracking is way better than any of the tools I’ve used before. It helps that the team is really steeped in the OKR ecosystem and best practices. Honestly, it’s the perfect example of AI making you and your team a superhero. It’s a required tool at my company, Tower.dev. Super stoked to see it and @seepitch on PH.

Chris Pitchford

Hey@bradhe2! Thanks for your support and kind words from you/the Tower team! Let us know if you need anything at all. New features coming soon!

Vic Hu
@bradhe2 Thanks, Brad!

Huge congrats on the launch, Chris and team! 🚀

The idea of assigning a dedicated agent to each OKR is brilliant — it feels like goal tracking just got an AI-native upgrade. Weekly Slack check-ins, live tracking, and built-in integrations sound like a dream for any fast-moving team.

Quick question: Do you have plans to support custom workflows for teams that use less conventional tools?

Chris Pitchford

@kay_arkain Thanks! Glad that landed for you. Which tools? Let us know, and I can get back to you asap.

Paolo Sciarra

Huge congrats on the launch, Chris and team!

Brev feels like a breath of fresh air in the OKR space. Automating the operational drag that typically comes with tracking goals is a game-changer, especially for fast-moving teams juggling multiple tools. The idea of a dedicated agent per goal, seamlessly integrated into tools we already live in (like Slack), is not just smart, it’s the frictionless.

As someone who’s seen OKRs fall apart due to lack of accountability and fragmented data, I can already see how Brev could be the missing layer that keeps strategy connected to execution. Excited to see how teams use the built-in OKR Coach and agents to stay aligned without all the manual check-ins.

This is one of those rare launches that feels both innovative and immediately practical.

Chris Pitchford

Hi @sciarrapaolo - that means a lot to our team! Excited to hear your feedback and will get you access asap. More to come!

Benn Graham

@sciarrapaolo Thank you!

Vic Hu
@sciarrapaolo thank you! accountability and automation are exactly what we aim for
