What is Sense?
Sense is a workspace organisation tool that helps teams manage projects and access information across multiple sources. It works by connecting to tools like Slack channels and Jira projects, then automatically organising the data into customisable spaces. Rather than storing content itself, Sense creates an indexed layer on top of your existing tools, so you can search and find information more easily. The app generates summaries of discussions, decisions, and who owns what tasks. It's aimed at teams that struggle with scattered information across different platforms and want a central way to handle and understand their work without duplicating data.
