What the problem is

Board updates always look easy on the calendar and hard on the night before. Someone has to pull the month's shipping activity, reconcile it against what was actually committed, dig up the traffic and usage numbers, and write a narrative that doesn't read like a changelog. Four hours lost, usually late at night, every single month. Zero takes the raw inputs (issues closed, PRs merged, traffic, revenue, customer wins tagged in Slack) and drafts the full update in your voice. You edit for nuance and send.

How Zero fixes it

Step 1: Connect your tools

Linear

Required

Linear (or your issue tracker). Zero reads closed issues, labels, and epic progress to summarize shipping. Read access required.

Connect

GitHub

Required

GitHub. Zero pulls merged PRs, deploys, and release tags to anchor the shipping narrative. Read access required.

Connect

Plausible

Required

Plausible (or your analytics). Zero compares this month's traffic and engagement against the prior month for the metrics section. Read access required.

Connect

Gmail

Optional

Gmail. Optional. Only needed if you want Zero to send the approved update directly to your investor list.

Connect

Notion

Required

Notion. Zero writes the draft into your monthly updates folder so you can edit, version, and archive. Write access required.

Step 2: Ask Zero

@Zero draft our April board update. Pull closed issues from Linear, merged PRs from GitHub, traffic from Plausible, and customer wins I tagged in #wins. Structure it as Highlights, Metrics, Risks, Next Month.

Zero pulls the month's raw inputs

Zero queries your issue tracker for closed work, GitHub for merged PRs and deploys, your analytics tool for traffic and engagement trends, and any Slack channel you tag as signal. Everything lands in one working dataset.

Zero structures the draft in your format

Your preferred section order (Highlights, Metrics, Risks, Asks, Next Month) stays consistent month to month. Zero fills each section based on the raw inputs and any prior updates it can learn from.

Zero delivers a ready-to-edit draft

The full draft lands in Notion with a preview link in Slack. You rewrite the nuanced parts, approve, and send. First drafts take four hours; edits take twenty minutes.

Step 3: Take it further

Tune the format

Adjust section order or add a new recurring section.

@Zero from now on, include a 'Team updates' section between Metrics and Risks.

Add investors to the send

Route the approved draft to your investor list automatically.

@Zero once I approve the draft, send it to my investor list with the subject 'vm0 April Update'.

Schedule the cadence

Move from monthly to bi-weekly, or layer in quarterly deep dives.

@Zero also draft a light bi-weekly update every other Friday with just shipping and metrics, no narrative.

Tips for better results

●Tag customer wins in a dedicated Slack channel during the month. Zero picks them up automatically instead of you trying to remember 30 days of moments.

●Keep the section order stable across months. Investors skim, so consistency matters more than novelty.

●Draft three days before the send, not the night of. Zero drafts in minutes; the real value is the edit time you reclaim.
