Idea to release, in one loop

Idea in.Release out.1

Everything in between, requirements, design, code, QA and delivery, runs in one loop your whole team and its AI share. Releavo drafts every doc and story, follows every push and carries each change down the chain. The right person signs it off.

Mai talks the idea through. Releavo turns it into a PRD draft.

  • Approval enforced in the database, not a prompt
  • Pushes only to its own branch
  • Your tool sign-ins never reach the agent
  • Approved versions are never overwritten

1 The product owner approves the brief, PRD and stories. The tech lead approves architecture and the readiness check. QA passes stories. Releavo approves nothing, and the database holds it to that.

§1The handoff is over

What Releavo replaces

  1. 01The status meeting.Everyone opens Releavo to a Home that shows what needs them, and nothing else.
  2. 02Copying stories into Jira.Synced both ways, in the background, after Releavo asks what belongs.
  3. 03The PRD nobody updated.Change one doc and every doc built from it is redrafted for its owner.
  4. 04“Is VD-35 done yet?”The merge request moved it, and the diff was checked against its acceptance criteria.
  5. 05The spec that lived in one head.Requirements, designs, decisions and sign-offs in one place the whole team, the client and every agent read.
  6. 06The release date from a spreadsheet.Forecast from the velocity your team actually delivered.

The AI does the legwork. People make the calls.

§2One loop

Idea to release.
One loop, one teammate.

Releavo doesn't sit at one step of your process. It drafts the plan, breaks it into stories, watches the code land, checks it against what was agreed, and forecasts the release. At every step the same rule holds: the AI does the legwork, a named person decides.

  1. 01Plan Drafts the brief, PRD, UX, prototypes and architecturePO and tech lead approve
  2. 02Break down Epics, stories, acceptance criteriaPO approves
  3. 03Build Builds the story, or works with your own AI tools; follows every pushDevelopers review and merge
  4. 04Verify Test cases, readiness, regression scopeQA passes or fails
  5. 05Release Sprints, forecasts, release notesPM ships
  6. 06Learn Carries every change back up the chainOwners approve the ripple
§3One source of truth

Everything your team agreed.
In one place, and true.

Requirements, designs, code activity, tests, decisions and approvals usually live in six tools and three people's heads. Releavo pulls them into one loop and keeps it current, so your team, your client and every AI agent work from the same context. Not a copy of last month's.

Comes in
  • Jira and LinearIssues, sprints, who owns what
  • Confluence and NotionThe pages the team already wrote
  • GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOpsEvery push and merge request
  • FigmaFrames, components, comments
  • Uploads and voice notesWorkshop notes, spreadsheets, decks, a two-minute ramble
Kept in Releavo
Every version
Brief to stories, each built from the one before. Never overwritten.
Every sign-off
Who approved what, when, and what it was built from.
Every decision
The questions asked, who answered, and where it landed.
Where things stand
Stories, sprints, risks, the release date and why it moved.
Versioned, signed, searchable. The agent reads all of it before it writes a word.
Goes out
  • A Home for each roleWhat needs you, and nothing else
  • Drafts for each ownerA change ripples down, as drafts
  • Your tools, kept in stepApproved here goes out there
  • Your AI apps, connectedClaude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, any MCP app
  • A client viewApproved versions and progress, read-only

Built for the long runA product lives for years and people move on. The record stays: why tiers cap at 500 units, who agreed, and which merge request built it.

Built for teams that hand overAgencies and outsourced teams keep the client in the loop with a read-only view, and every sign-off on record. When the work changes hands, the context goes with it.

§4The doc chain

Change one thing.
Watch it ripple.

A project runs on a chain of documents, each built from the one before. When CR-14 changes the pricing model, Releavo follows your change-request playbook down the chain, drafts every update, and tells each owner what's waiting for them. Nobody goes hunting for what went stale.

  1. changes/CR-14 Tiered pricing.mdCR-14proposedapproved by Mai
  2. docs/brief.mdBriefv3 · approvedno change
  3. docs/prd.mdPRDv5 · approvedv5v6 draft waiting for Mai

  6. docs/readiness.mdReadinessv2 · passedv2v3 re-check waiting for Huy
  7. planning/stories/VD-35-cart-tiers.storyVD-35v2 · in progressv2v3 draft waiting for Mai

Built fromEvery version records what it was made from. PRD v6 says CR-14 + PRD v5, so a reviewer sees why, not just what.

Told, not broadcastOwners hear about it in their own Home and chat: Huy about architecture, Sara about the test cases that moved. Nobody else gets pinged.

§5Drafts, not overwrites

Nothing it writes is final until someone says so.

Each AI edit lands as the next version of the doc, with a diff, a note on why, and the name of the person who approves it. Approved versions are never overwritten. Roll back to v5 any time.

FR-7 · Volume tiers

Wholesale buyers get a flat 10% off orders over 50 units up to three tiers, set per customer group: 5% from 50 units, 8% from 200, 12% from 500.

Tiers apply to the whole order, after any customer-group price. Discounts do not stack with promo codes. A promo code replaces the tier discount if it's larger; they never stack.

FR-8 · Cart display

The cart shows the discount applied, the tier reached, and how many more units unlock the next one.

Only Mai can approve this. Drafted by Releavo for Mai · +14 −3DiscardApprove v6

Enforced in the database, not in a prompt. If your roles can't approve a doc, no button, script or clever request will.

§6Builds and follows the code

Build it either way.
The story already knows.

Connect the AI tools your team already uses (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT, anything that speaks MCP) and they work straight from the story: the criteria, the epic, the architecture, moving the story as they go. Or switch coding on and Releavo builds it itself, as a draft pull request under your name. Either way, every push and merge request reaches Releavo, which finds the story, moves it, and checks the code against what was agreed.

§7Design, files and voice

Show it, sketch it,
or just say it.

Designs stay in Figma and show up live where they're needed. No designer yet? Releavo sketches a clickable prototype. Drop in the spreadsheet the idea came from, or talk instead of typing. All of it lands in the same loop.

Figma, live in the story. A frame link shows the real design, kept current. Releavo reads it against the acceptance criteria, and with your own Figma paired, edits it with you.
A prototype to click through. Ask for a mockup and Releavo builds one from your PRD, real copy and all. It opens as a live page at phone, tablet and desktop sizes.
Your files, opened in place. Excel with its sheets, Word as pages, slides, PDFs and code, right in the project. Releavo reads them and turns the idea into a brief.
Say it instead of typing it. Hold forth for a minute; Releavo hears names, story keys and your product's words right, in English or Vietnamese, and gets on with it.
§8Works with your tools

Keep your tools.
Releavo keeps them in step.

Connect Jira and Releavo looks around, recommends what to bring in, and asks before moving anything. From then on it syncs in the background: approved here goes out there, changed there comes back. Any MCP server works too.

JiraIssues and sprints, both ways
ConfluenceDocs published and kept current
GitHubPushes and pull requests
GitLabPushes and merge requests
Azure DevOpsAzure Repos, read-only
LinearIssues, projects, cycles
NotionPages and databases
SentryProduction errors for QA
FigmaLive designs, read and edited

Sign-ins stay on Releavo's servers, encrypted. The agent calls your tools through Releavo and never sees a token, and client stakeholders can only read.

§9Delivery

Backlog to release date, without a spreadsheet.

Epics and stories, sprints you plan and close, velocity from what your team actually finished, and a release forecast that moves when scope does. Brought in from Jira or built here.

Scope grew by 16 points with CR-14. At 17 a sprint, 1.2 still lands in sprint 6.
§10Roles

One agent.
Every hat you wear.

Roles belong to people, per project. Mai is PO and BA on Volume Discounts and a client on Brewline. Releavo works with exactly the roles of whoever's asking, never more. Pick someone:

Product ownerBusiness analyst Releavo, for Mai
It will
  • Draft PRD and story changes
  • Write acceptance criteria
  • Re-prioritise the backlog
  • Ask Huy what a change costs
It hands off
  • Architecture Huy
  • Pass or fail Sara

Split VD-35 into a cart story and a checkout story.

Drafted VD-35 v3 and a new VD-44 for you to approve. Told Huy both need estimating.

Mai approvesBrief, PRD, epics, stories, UXReleavo approves nothing.
§11Playbooks

Your process is a file, not a feature.

There's no change-request button. There's playbooks/change-request.md: plain markdown your team writes and edits. Releavo reads it the way a new hire reads the wiki, then follows it. Change the file and you've changed the process.

  • change-request.mdWrite it up, trace the impact, give the PO options
  • readiness-check.mdIs the architecture ready for stories to start?
  • stories.mdStories, acceptance criteria, traceability to the PRD
  • test-plan.mdTest cases from acceptance criteria, bug reports
  • doc-chain.mdAfter an approval, bring every later doc into step
  • status-update.mdThe weekly note a client can actually read
  • release-notes.mdFrom done stories to release notes
  • uploads.mdRead workshop notes, file them, pull out decisions
§12Under the hood

Works like Claude Code.
In your project, not a repo.

Each job gets its own sandbox with the project's files in it. Releavo reads and edits them, runs Python on a Word doc or a spreadsheet, searches the web, and hands focused work to specialists. Then everything it changed comes back as drafts.

§13Home

Open it and see what needs you.

Everyone gets a Home built from their roles: what's waiting on their approval, which stories are blocked on them, what they've been asked. Not a feed of everything that happened while they were away.
