What is Marina?

Marina is an AI chief of staff for remote teams. It quietly keeps track of who’s working on what, surfaces blockers before they fester, and handles the day-to-day admin — standups, time off, attendance, recognition — so managers can lead and teammates can focus.

What shipped

The team shipped 11 deliverables last week — 7 from engineering, 3 from design, 1 from sales. Highlights: Razorpay v2 went live, the onboarding redesign hit staging, and Arjun closed the Vembu deal (₹12L ARR).

Who needs attention

  • · Sneha — 51h logged, no leave in 73d. Burnout watch.
  • · Rahul — blocked 2 days on design handoff from Priya.
  • · Design pod — 4 of 6 deliverables slipping past Friday.

MARINA recommends

  • 1. 15-min check-in with Sneha. Suggest she takes Fri off.
  • 2. Unblock Rahul → route the handoff to Anika (Priya is on leave).
  • 3. Re-scope the design pod before Wednesday standup.

Generated from 1,247 events across GitHub, Calendar, Slack, and MARINA timesheets.

Your 4-minute morning brief — who shipped what, who’s blocked, what needs you.

The three pieces

  • The web dashboard — your personal console (punch in, log work, file a standup, give kudos) and, for managers, the team views.
  • The desktop agent — an optional macOS app that tracks your focus time automatically so you never have to log hours by hand.
  • Slack — Marina lives in Slack too: punch in, post standups, raise blockers and recognize teammates without leaving your chat.

Everything stays in sync. A standup you post in Slack shows up on the dashboard; kudos you give on the web appears in your #all-marina channel.
