Key Themes

Track recurring topics across all your management work to spot patterns.

Last updated April 2026

Problem

The same topics come up in catchups and meetings, but you cannot see the pattern. Without a way to connect recurring discussions, you might not notice a systemic issue until it becomes a serious problem.

Solution

Tag recurring topics and track them across all your management work. Turn scattered conversations into clear, actionable insights about what your team is really experiencing.

Why Use Key Themes

Cross-entity Linking

Connect themes to catchups, meetings, surveys, and retrospectives. See the full picture of how a topic evolves across different conversations and contexts.

Pattern Spotting

Track how frequently each theme appears and where it shows up. A theme that keeps recurring is a signal worth investigating and acting on.

AI Detection (Pro)

Pro users get AI-powered theme detection that automatically suggests themes based on the content of your catchups, meetings, and other activities.

Co-occurrence Analysis

See which themes tend to appear together. Understanding these relationships helps you address root causes rather than treating symptoms individually.

Pro

Pro users can access AI-powered theme detection, which automatically suggests themes based on the content of your catchups, meetings, and other activities. This helps surface patterns you might not think to tag manually.

Start with a small set of five to ten themes and let more emerge naturally over time. Too many themes from the start leads to inconsistent tagging and diluted insights.
