Get a unified status brief on anything without checking five tools
Ask Zero about a project, feature, or topic. It searches Slack, Notion, Linear, and GitHub simultaneously, then returns a structured brief: current state, owner, blockers, and last activity — all from a single message.
Zero connects:



Why status updates take longer than they should
You need to know the status of the new onboarding flow. You open Slack to check if there has been a recent decision. You open Linear to see what is in progress. You open Notion to find the spec. You open GitHub to check the PR. Four tabs, four contexts, and you are still not sure if the spec is current or if the Linear ticket reflects the latest decision. Zero does all four searches at once, flags any conflicts, and gives you the full picture in one response.
How to ask Zero for a cross-tool status brief
@Zero what's the current status of [X]?
Search Slack (last 14 days), Notion, Linear, and GitHub. Return: current state in one sentence, owner, blockers, and the last meaningful update with source.
How Zero searches, synthesizes, and flags conflicting signals
Zero searches all four sources in parallel
Zero queries Slack messages, Notion pages, Linear issues, and GitHub PRs and commits simultaneously, scoped to the topic and time window you specified.
Findings synthesized into a structured brief
Zero extracts state, owner, blockers, and last update from each source. If two sources disagree — for example, Slack says blocked but Linear shows in progress — Zero flags the conflict and cites both.
Brief returned in the same thread
Zero replies with a 4-part brief: current state in one line, owner or DRI, blockers, and the last meaningful update with its source and date.

Required integrations: Slack, Linear, Notion, and GitHub
Slack
Zero reads messages across channels to surface recent decisions, blockers, and discussions about the topic.
Linear
Zero pulls open and in-progress issues to surface ownership, priority, and current state.
Notion
Zero searches pages and databases for specs, decisions, and context documents. Optional but recommended.
GitHub
Zero checks open PRs, recent commits, and issue comments for the latest technical activity. Optional but recommended for engineering topics.
Best practices for cross-tool context queries
Be specific — "the Stripe integration" works better than "the payment feature". Zero needs enough context to filter results across four sources.
Add a time window if the topic is long-running. "Focus on the last 14 days" prevents outdated results from burying recent ones.
Pair with Document Decisions to automatically log the brief to Notion after Zero returns it.
