COSTA is an intelligent, context-aware personal chief of staff that works with you throughout the entire day — from a personal podcast briefing before you sit down at your desk in the morning, through every meeting and decision. It is your trusted collaborator on the complex work that actually matters.
Good morning, Alex.
Today
Two 1-1s today — Maya at 10 and Jordan at 15:30. The onboarding review with Lucas is at 14:00; worth reading his proposal before that (it's on your task list, 1h estimate).
Four tasks flagged for today. The two high-priority ones are linked to meetings: Maya's design review feedback (45m, before 10am) and Lucas's onboarding flow review (1h, before 2pm). Marcus's API error state response can wait until this afternoon.
People
Maya Chen — last spoke Tuesday. She's presenting the notification redesign at 10:00. Her last 1-1 flagged scope creep concerns; worth having a clear position ready before the meeting.
Jordan Park — 16:00 hiring panel. No open threads from last week; straightforward.
Focus
The Q2 principles deck is the highest-leverage output this week. It's blocking the headcount ask and shapes the growth squad's Q2 design direction. Two hours of clear thinking this morning beats three rushed hours this afternoon.
First Q2 strategy sync. Sam wants an update on headcount, the DS contractor model, and the principles work. Last 1-1 flagged the Vanta Studio relationship as something to formalise before the Q2 budget conversation. The headcount ask has been informally discussed twice but never formally submitted.
"Q2 direction locked, four tasks cleared, three decisions made. One of your cleanest days this quarter."
COSTA works with you on whatever you're doing, and makes you more effective and more efficient at doing it — surfacing the right context at the right moment, from the first notification of the day to the last decision of the evening.
Design Principles →Each morning, COSTA synthesises your calendar, 1-1 history, open tasks and context into a concise brief — available in the app to read, and narrated as a private podcast episode to listen to before you even sit down. Then, as the day progresses, COSTA produces updated briefings throughout the working hours — each one incorporating fresh context from across the organisation, so what you're reading at 2pm reflects what's actually happened since 9am.
Good morning, Alex.
Today
Two 1-1s today — Maya at 10 and Jordan at 15:30. The onboarding review with Lucas is at 14:00; worth reading his proposal before that (it's on your task list, 1h estimate).
People
Maya Chen — Last spoke Monday. She's presenting her design review at 10:00. Her key ask is feedback on the revised component audit before end of week.
Maya flagged the component audit timeline as a priority in your last 1-1 three days ago. Jordan has been waiting on your sign-off for the Q2 design OKRs since last week.
One tap on any calendar event and COSTA generates a full briefing: your history with everyone in the room, open threads from previous conversations, relevant tasks, and what's changed since you last spoke.
Your COSTA assistant is always open, always aware. It knows who you're looking at, what meeting you're preparing for, what your tasks look like. Ask it to draft a message, pressure-test a decision, summarise a thread, or think through a problem with you.
Maya joined 18 months ago and leads the design system work. Your working relationship is strong — 1-1s are consistent and she's candid about blockers. Current focus is the component audit and Q2 OKR planning.
Rich profiles for everyone in your organisation. One-to-one history, LinkedIn context, a COSTA synthesis of your working relationship, and quick notes from any interaction. The context that would otherwise live only in your head.
A time-aware week view that knows where you are in the day. See what's coming, spot conflicts, and jump directly from any event into COSTA prep — without switching apps.
Last sync Alex flagged the roadmap dependency on the design system migration — still unresolved. Sam wants to revisit the Q2 resourcing model before the board read more →
