- 10-second async check-ins, done on your schedule
- Deep work stays uninterrupted — all morning

Private Notes
Some things are just for you. Private notes stay private — visible only to you, never surfaced in summaries.
"Feeling behind on infra work. Need to block tomorrow morning for focused time..."
How it works
Three steps. That's it.
Set your team
Invite members with a link. Set your timezone, working hours, and how often you want pulse reminders. Takes about two minutes.
Works with any team size — from solo founders to 200-person orgs.
Check in daily
Answer three questions in under 10 seconds: what you did, what's next, and any blockers. Via web, mobile, or right inside Slack.
Reminders at the time that works for you, not 9am sharp.
Helio does the rest
Summaries, patterns, and risk flags — generated automatically. Leads get a clear picture of team health without asking for it.
AI summaries land in your inbox before the workday starts.

Testimonials
What teams are saying
We cut our meeting load by 40% in the first month. The AI summaries are genuinely good — they capture what matters without the fluff. Our leads actually read them every morning now.

Helio is the first async tool that didn't feel like homework. Everyone on the team checked in on day one — that never happens. It's just fast enough that nobody resists it.

CTO · Trellis (Series A)
Finally, my team in London and Sydney are actually in sync. We were spending 30 minutes in overlapping hours just getting aligned. Now I wake up, read the Helio brief, and I know exactly where everything stands.
