Use Align, connect your tools, and understand the platform
Getting Started
Choose a workspace, learn the five Align apps, and complete your first decision-to-delivery workflow.
Product suite
The current Align product map: Home, Rooms, Pages, Chat, Plans, the browser extension, and the services shared by every app.
Plans
Work items, projects, the Inbox, team Standup, two-way Jira/Linear sync, GitHub moving tickets, workflows, planning layers, and reports.
Collaboration
Rooms, decisions, Pages, Chat, Quick Decide, Pick-a-time polls, recaps, and how they connect to Plans.
Browser extension
Align for Meet, Teams, Zoom, Gmail, Slack, and selected text—meeting prep, live notes, tasks after the call, installation, connection, and privacy.
Integrations
Connect calendars, Slack, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Notion, Figma, ICS, and webhooks; understand sync, write-back, and plan limits.
AI & automation
Ask Align, Universal Search, MCP, controlled actions, and the private-beta Intelligence and Autopilot surfaces.
Companion & Align for Mac
The private-beta Companion that lives in your Mac's notch, picks what needs you from your tools, keeps follow-ups both ways, moves tickets after you push code, and hands you the next step as one tap.
Protocol
The Socket.IO and REST wire contract between apps/rooms and apps/api — events, endpoints, and JSON shapes.
MCP server
Connect Align to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients. Endpoint, sign-in flow and tool reference.
Architecture
The five backend layers, room lifecycle, message pipeline, and RAG/knowledge-graph pipeline.
Deployment
How Align's services (Vercel apps + the API on AWS EC2) are deployed, configured, and wired together.
Roadmap
Design docs for what's next
Trust
The enterprise trust harness — runtime invariants (NWEGRESS, RMISO, MANIFEST) and their proof suites.
Ephemeral Architecture
The two-model Moderator/Resident split with per-room ephemeral crypto keys for the document-blind Moderator.
Document Sidecar
A slide-in PDF/email viewer with live AI topic-summary bubbles, running as a second concurrent moderator lane.
Document Viewer 2.0
Office-format support and live evidence-scribble highlighting — a planning doc extending the Sidecar viewer.
DocuSign Integration
Feasibility investigation into integrating Align with DocuSign's extension-app framework. Not implemented.
The suite
One backend, a family of apps — each on its own subdomain.
