Highlight AI

Highlight is an AI-powered team coordination tool built by a San Francisco-based team with backgrounds at Discord, Medal.tv, and Meta. It captures decisions and commitments as they happen across meetings, messages, and documents, weaves them into a shared team memory, and automatically drafts next steps — from Linear tickets to Slack messages to Notion pages. The product is currently available as "Highlight for Individuals" (a personal assistant) while a Teams version is on a waitlist.

What It Is

Highlight sits in the coordination layer between people and tools, not just inside a single app. It works by listening to and reading across the inputs a team already uses — video calls, audio, Slack, email, Notion docs — and building a persistent shared memory from what it captures. When a meeting ends or a commitment is made, Highlight surfaces what needs to happen next and stages those actions for human review before they go out.

How the Three-Step Workflow Operates

Highlight's core loop has three stages the product page describes as Capture, Connect, and Act:

• Capture: Every commitment and decision is caught as it happens, not just in meetings but also across messages and docs.
• Connect: Captured context is woven into a shared memory the whole team can draw on, reducing "I thought someone else had that" moments.
• Act: Highlight identifies what needs to happen next, drafts next steps, sets reminders, and stages outputs for review.

This means after a meeting ends, Highlight can have Linear tickets, Slack messages, emails, Notion docs, and calendar invites already drafted before a user closes their laptop.

Key Features

• Actions: Automatically drafts post-meeting outputs — tickets, messages, docs, emails — for one-click review and approval.
• Reminders: Tracks verbal and written commitments from calls, emails, and messages, and sets reminders before anything slips.
• Skills: Lets teams define recurring workflow triggers; Highlight then runs the full sequence and stages every output automatically.
• Collaboration: Surfaces institutional knowledge — decisions, context, rationale — that is normally never written down, making it accessible to the whole team.

Integrations and Platform Reach

Highlight connects to the tools teams already use. Explicitly listed integrations include Google Calendar, GitHub, Notion, Gmail, Slack, Linear, Loom, Figma, and Amplitude. The product ingests video call audio, uploaded documents, Slack threads, and email to build its shared memory layer.

Audience and Use Cases

The product page positions Highlight for cross-functional teams rather than a single role. Specific use cases described include:

• Product managers: Sprint planning ends with Linear tickets, Slack summaries, and Notion decision logs already drafted.
• Engineers: Can answer "why did we choose X?" questions from planning calls months earlier.
• Designers: Get notified about scope changes from meetings they weren't in.
• Recruiters: Have ATS updates, hiring manager flags, and follow-up scheduling handled after every candidate screening.

Current Status

As of the available sources, Highlight for Individuals (the personal assistant) is live and downloadable. A Teams version — described as "the new Highlight" and "where we're headed" — is on a waitlist. The company has raised $40M in Series A funding, according to the About page, with backers including venture firms and founders from companies such as Ramp, Decagon, and Eight Sleep.
