What it is

SmartRetro is a web-based retrospective tool for product and engineering teams, aimed at engineering groups at AI-adopting companies. It offers formats such as Start / Stop / Continue and Glad / Sad / Mad, with card grouping and voting. The product says it detects themes that recur across retrospectives to preserve team memory. Action items can be assigned an owner and status, and unfinished work returns automatically in the next retro. The site names Slack, GitHub, and Linear as sources for signals; paid plans list Slack and Linear exports for action items. AI clustering and summaries require a customer-provided LLM key, and the customer pays the model provider separately. SmartRetro says its integrations do not store source code or read direct messages, and organization-scoped data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The product is in closed beta, with beta access free. The Free plan permits one active team, three retros monthly, three members, 30-day retention, and five action items per team. Team is $49 a month billed annually; Pro is $99 a month billed annually.
