Welcome to Align

Align is a decision tracking platform for engineering teams. It captures decisions from your existing tools—Slack, Teams, Jira, GitHub—and makes them searchable, auditable, and actionable.

Why Align?

Every engineering team makes hundreds of decisions: architecture choices, trade-offs, approvals, and sign-offs. These decisions live in scattered Slack threads, Jira comments, and meeting notes. When someone asks "why did we do it this way?" six months later, no one can find the answer.

Align solves this by:

• Capturing decisions where they happen (Slack, Teams, Jira, GitHub)
• Synthesizing context using AI to extract the decision, rationale, and participants
• Making them searchable so anyone can find past decisions instantly
• Providing audit trails for compliance and governance requirements
