Your 1:1s, sprints, and incidents — turned into proof you're doing it right
emkit is the workspace where engineering managers run their week: structured 1:1s, sprint and incident tracking, and action items that follow through — plus AI that drafts the reports and preps the hard conversations.
The demo is the whole product with sample data — no signup needed.

How it fits your week
No implementation project. No org rollout. You, up and running today.
Add your team
Names, roles, cadence — two minutes. The roster becomes the hub for 1:1s, growth notes, and reviews.
Run your week
Log 1:1s as they happen. Track sprints and incidents where they belong. Commitments become action items, not memories.
Show the receipts
Weekly report drafted from your real data. Trends and history when leadership asks. Reviews backed by a year of notes.
See what you actually get
Real product, real data model — every screenshot below is the app, not a mockup.
Start the day knowing what needs you
The dashboard is an attention surface, not a vanity chart. Overdue action items, open incidents, and 1:1s due — deep-linked so you act, not hunt.
- Overdue items and open incidents, front and center
- Team mood and velocity trends at a glance
- One click from number to detail
1:1s that compound instead of evaporate
Log a 1:1 in two minutes — notes, mood, wins, blockers. Next time you sit down, the history, the trends, and last meeting's follow-ups are already there.
- Mood trends per person, over months
- Talking points and context carried forward
- Full history per team member
Action items that actually follow through
Any 1:1, incident, sprint, or review can spawn a tracked item with an owner and a due date. They show up on the dashboard until they're done — yours or theirs.
- Created in context, from any record
- Owners, due dates, overdue surfacing
- Linked back to the conversation that created them
Delivery proof your leadership will ask for
Sprint velocity, DORA metrics, and incident history accumulate as you work. When someone asks how the team is doing, you show them — you don't scramble.
- Sprint velocity and completion trends
- DORA metrics without a platform team
- Incidents with postmortems and follow-ups
An AI chief of staff, not a chatbot
The AI works from your actual management data — your 1:1 notes, your team's trends, your incidents. Output you can use, not generic advice.
Difficult Conversation Prep
Facing a performance talk or a compensation ask? Get a structured plan — opening, key points, likely reactions, landmines — built on your 1:1 history with that person.
Weekly Report, drafted
Your week, pulled from real data — 1:1s held, sprint progress, incidents, shipped items — drafted into a report you edit and send. No more blank-page Friday.
Action items, extracted
Paste a transcript or your raw notes. Commitments become tracked action items with owners and due dates — not a bullet list you'll never see again.
Team pulse insights
Mood dips, slipping cadence, quiet high-performers — the patterns you'd miss between meetings, flagged before they become resignations.
Conversation prep and advanced AI are on the Max plan — core AI comes with every plan.
Sound familiar?
Every EM hits these walls. This is the toolkit to break through them.
❌ 1:1s feel like status updates
✅ Structured notes that surface real issues over time
❌ No idea if the team is actually okay
✅ Mood tracking and health trends per person
❌ Reviews take a week to write
✅ Continuous notes — the evidence is already there
❌ Incident lessons evaporate
✅ Postmortem flow with tracked follow-up actions
❌ Velocity is a guess
✅ Sprint tracking with real completion data
❌ You inherited a team with zero docs
✅ One workspace builds the record from day one
Priced for a manager, not a procurement department
Founding pricing locks in forever for the first 1,000 managers.

Questions, answered
The things every EM asks before paying for their own tooling.
Why is there no free trial?
The live demo is the trial — it shows the entire product with realistic sample data, no signup required. After that it's $80/year, cancel anytime. No procurement process, no org buy-in needed.
Who is emkit for?
Engineering managers and team leads who run 1:1s, sprints, and incidents — especially if you're new to a team or inheriting one with no documentation. It's built for a manager of 3–15 engineers, not for the org chart above them.
What happens to my data?
Your team's data belongs to your account and is never shared or used to train models. AI features send only the relevant slice (e.g. notes for one meeting) to the AI provider to generate your output.
Do the templates come with it?
Yes — the original EM Kit Notion workspace, Google Sheets kit, and setup guide are included with every plan, in Settings → Downloads.
What's the difference between Pro and Max?
Pro covers the full core workflow for up to 5 team members. Max removes limits and adds advanced AI (review drafts, difficult conversation prep, flight-risk signals) plus integrations (Jira, GitHub, Slack, and more).
Can I cancel?
Anytime, from Settings → Billing, in two clicks. No retention flow, no email-to-cancel.
Built by an EM who's managed the chaos — 50+ engineers, 200+ sprints, 3 companies.
From Microsoft to startups, this is the system I wished I had on day one. Every framework in here survived contact with a real team.
