Unlock Coaching that Scales — Powered by Runbear’s Performance Review Assistant

Connect GitHub and Slack to automatically review weekly activity, surface coaching insights, and track impact — without the manual overhead.

GitHub and Slack are essential tools for tracking your engineering team’s progress. Pull requests, code reviews, and ongoing conversations all provide valuable insights into individual and team performance. However, gathering and synthesizing this information for employee coaching, evaluation, and review can be time-consuming and fragmented.

That’s where Runbear’s GitHub + Slack integration comes in. Instead of switching between platforms or manually compiling reports, Runbear’s AI automatically analyzes each of your team member’s weekly activity across GitHub and Slack.

From code contributions to team discussions, it surfaces key insights and coaching points directly within Slack — where your conversations already happen — to give you clear visibility into your team’s progress and make performance management feel effortless.

How It Works

  • Ask your question (e.g. “review this week’s PRs for member@runbear.io” or “summarize coaching insights for @Member based on this week’s Slack”)
  • Runbear analyzes the data and responds with feedback or actionable insights within minutes
