AI that finds your team’s workflows and hidden structures

Panorama analyzes your workplace data to recommend AI workflows your team can run together. Instead of building automations from scratch, discover what to automate and execute collaboratively in one place.
Panorama
Hey Product Hunt! I’m Jackie, co-founder of Panorama.
As a scientist and first employee at Lila Sciences I witnessed something strange — along our trajectory from 1 employee to 100 there was always the same problem. Instead of spending 100% of time doing the work that propels the company forward, more and more time was spent constructing glue between teams, preparing for meetings, filling in forms.
At twitter, Lyft, CashApp, and Google, my co-founder Jingwei saw the same thing even on the best teams.
Panorama is built to free humans from this burden, by leveraging work data, surfacing hidden structures, and recommending personalized, collaborative flows.
It sees you fill out the same notion document every Friday, and offers to provide a draft.
It notices your team planning doc gets turned into linear tickets, and steps in to do it automatically.
It notices subtle things you’ve been looking for answers to but don’t have time for — counting how many times the team is distracted, noticing who is burnt out and who can take on more.

@jaclyn_lunger For a small remote team grinding on content workflows, what's one "hidden structure" insight it's surfaced that blew your mind during beta?
Panorama
@swati_paliwal Really interesting question! We haven't teamed up with any teams working on content workflows yet. It sounds really interesting, we'd love to partner with you on this if you're open to it!

Congrats on the launch! What sort of features have you planned on the roadmap @jingweihao & @jaclyn_lunger ?
Panorama
@jingweihao @jaclyn_lunger @larkef
Thank you Jord! Chiming in on behalf of the team here, there's plenty planned out for ahead, but would love to hear what you would like to see :)
(sneak peak includes surfacing team-wide hidden structures and adding integrations we know our current users have been asking for - LinkedIn, Salesforce etc.)
You can also follow our journey through our bi-weekly updates at https://withpanorama.com/ (top right corner) !

@larkef +1 to what @nutboltz mentioned, team-wide hidden structures & automations, surfacing them peer to peer are the first ones we plan to work next.
Most automation tools assume you already know what needs automating, which is half the problem. We're a small team using Slack, Notion, Google Workspace, and a bunch of other tools, and I'm sure there are workflows we repeat every week without realizing they could be automated. Having AI analyze the actual patterns and recommend automations instead of building them from scratch is a much better starting point. How much data does it need before the recommendations become useful? Like does it need weeks of history or can it find patterns pretty quickly?
Panorama
@ben_gend Hi Ben, great question! We've seen that 2 weeks of historical data gives the best results. But depending on the activity volume in your tools, that can vary a lot. For example, if your team is actively communicating on Slack, even 1 day of data can help uncover some hidden team communication patterns or improvements.
"Most automation tools assume you already know what needs automating, which is half the problem"
100%. That was something we noticed with many of our early users as well.

@vouchy I never quite got to most of my time being preparing instead of doing (maybe that happens at 200 employees)? Was definitely ramping though. To give an example, there were 3 different "updates" I had to fill out every Friday, they all had the same information just for a slightly different audience. And a 2 hour meeting on Monday where everyone has to give an update on their tickets.
Coolest launch of the day fs! What surprised you the most when observing how teams actually work vs how they think they work?
Panorama
@lak7 Thanks for the kind words! Gonna chime in for the team here and say I love it when it calls out moments to reflect on our communication style. For example, I thought I was doing a good job with async communication by posting lots of details in slack, but Panorama pointed out to me that the fact that most teammates responded with follow-up clarification suggests that posts were too long for them to digest and they might benefit from a TLDR.
@nutboltz That's pretty cool!
Panorama
@nutboltz @lak7 LOL you didn't tell me this one! That's definitely from me asking clarifying questions... Panorama should probably point out to me that I need to read your posts more carefully and tend to read too fast/skim without getting key details
@nutboltz @jaclyn_lunger Haha, ig it would be awesome if there is a dashboard or something where one can see all the team’s workflows and hidden structures discovered by panorama
discovery is the easy part - who prioritizes which workflows to actually run? curious if there's a scoring layer or if that's left to the team.
Panorama
@mykola_kondratiuk Thanks for the great question!
Right now every team member gets access to their own personalized recommendations and insights (though evaluated on a team context). The nice thing is, by analyzing each person's individual activities, Panorama does a good job of identifying what's important to you (are you an IC who wants to optimize their processes and needs to see what are your blockers, or a manager who wants better visibility into the team and projects?). So recommendations are already prioritized according to your own needs.
We are looking at a layer where team managers get special team wide insights and recommendations that can help improve the team's efficiency as a whole, and not just their own.
Thanks for clarifying! Curious about the evaluation side — is there a shared overlay where a team lead or PM can see aggregated recommendations, or is each view fully siloed to the individual? For distributed teams that aggregated signal is often where the real sprint decisions happen.
Panorama
@mykola_kondratiuk
this is on our roadmap will be one of the next feature we work on:
a) the next big thing is surfacing hidden structures and automations peer to peer with public data (public slack messages, notion docs, gdocs etc.)
b) then we'll move on to team-level hidden structures and automations!
Glad it's on the roadmap — that PM visibility layer is what separates a useful AI tool from one people actually champion internally. Any sense of timeline? Curious whether the signal came from team leads or PMs pushing for it.

Been following Panorama's journey since the early days! So pumped to see it launch and helping every team automate the right things. Huge congrats to Jingwei and the team!!
Panorama
@rishi_builder :) thanks for supporting us all this time!
Panorama
@rishi_builder thank you for your support Rushi, let's catch up!
Panorama
@rishi_builder Love this, thanks for being an early supporter!
Panorama
@rishi_builder just noticed you set up an automation to check for real time changes in a folder. The system doesn't support event triggers right now, it can only do schedule-based. I updated the system so it'll explain that better next time! Event triggers are on the road map :)
