AI retrospective tool
The AI retrospective tool that remembers what your team decided
Most tools bolt AI onto a retro board and call it done — a summary button on top of sticky notes. SmartRetro's AI works across cycles instead: it gathers evidence between retros, remembers what came up before, and keeps action-item follow-through visible until the work actually moves.
How the AI actually works
Detect, surface, recommend — then hand the decision to your team.
Detection with evidence
Between retros, SmartRetro reads the signals your team already produces — Slack threads, tracker activity, delivery events — and clusters what matters. Every surfaced pattern carries the evidence behind it, so the team debates the issue, not the AI.
Cross-cycle memory
An AI sprint retrospective is only useful if it remembers the last one. SmartRetro connects this retro's themes to earlier patterns — "third time this quarter" is a fact it can show, not a feeling someone has to defend.
Follow-through, watched
Action items keep their owners and status between cycles, and SmartRetro checks them against real delivery evidence. Stalled work resurfaces at the next retro instead of quietly expiring.
A brief, not a transcript
Before each retro, SmartRetro drafts a brief: themes, recurring issues, and what changed since last time. Your team edits and approves it — AI-drafted, human-approved.

Bounded by design
AI detects, surfaces, and recommends. Teams decide and act.
SmartRetro is designed to improve team process, not evaluate individual people. Analysis runs on your own LLM provider key if you prefer — bring Anthropic, OpenAI, or an equivalent — and nothing becomes an action or a verdict without a human decision.
