Real-time tab synchronization for engineering grooming sessions
The host navigates. Everyone follows. No installs, no accounts, no friction.
Remote grooming sessions waste minutes on "which ticket are we on?". Tab Pilot fixes that.
The facilitator creates a session, pastes a list of ticket URLs, and shares a 6-character join code. When they click Next, every participant's browser automatically opens the correct ticket — no copy-pasting links, no confusion, no lag.
It works with any ticketing tool that has a URL: Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues, Notion, Confluence, Shortcut, ClickUp, or anything else.
