Unified Project Status from Multiple Tools

Ask Zero about any project. It searches across your tools in parallel and synthesizes a brief covering state, owner, blockers, and last update.

What Zero delivers

What the problem is

Someone asks about the status of the Stripe integration. The last Slack thread is from two weeks ago. There's a Linear ticket but the status says 'In Progress' with no update. The Notion doc has a decision log from last month. GitHub has three open PRs. None of these sources tell the full story alone. Zero searches all four in parallel and gives you one answer.

How Zero fixes it

Step 1: Connect your tools

Step 2: Ask Zero

@Zero what's the current status of the Stripe integration? Search Slack (last 14 days), Notion, Linear, and GitHub. Return: current state, owner, blockers, and last meaningful update with source.
Zero searches all sources in parallel
Zero queries Slack, Notion, Linear, and GitHub simultaneously for the topic within the specified time window - returning raw findings from each source.
Zero synthesizes and flags conflicts
Zero extracts state, owner, blockers, and last update per source. If sources disagree - e.g., Linear says 'Done' but Slack has an open question from yesterday - Zero flags the conflict explicitly.
4-part brief delivered in Slack
Zero returns: current state in one sentence, owner/DRI, active blockers, and the most recent meaningful update with its source citation.

Step 3: Take it further

Log the brief to Notion
Create a searchable record of the status snapshot
@Zero save this status brief to Notion under 'Project Status > Stripe Integration > April 2026'.
Schedule weekly updates
Get a status DM every Monday without asking
@Zero every Monday at 9am, DM me the status of the mobile SDK across Slack, Linear, and GitHub.
Escalate a blocker
Turn a found blocker into a tracked issue
@Zero the blocker you found - create a GitHub issue for it and assign to the owner.

Tips for better results

Be specific - 'the Stripe integration' works better than 'the payment feature.' Specific terms match across tools; vague ones don't.
Add a time window for long-running projects: 'focus on the last 14 days' prevents Zero from surfacing stale context as if it's current.
Pair with Document Decisions to auto-log the brief to Notion - useful for recurring reviews where you want a historical snapshot per week.
