What is Oluma?
Oluma is a memory layer for managers — leadership context software for people managers, team leads, and directors. It gathers context from calendar meetings, quick notes, team introductions, Slack messages, and weekly reflections, then brings the relevant history back at the moment it is needed: a prep brief before a 1:1, a nudge about a commitment that is slipping, a profile of what each person is working on. Emily, the intelligence layer inside Oluma, assembles those briefs and answers questions from your team’s context. Oluma is free to start, and it never trains AI models on customer data.
- Who it is for
- People managers who run regular 1:1s — team leads, engineering and product managers, directors, and founders who manage directly. Who Oluma is for
- What it does
- Prep briefs before 1:1s, follow-ups tracked until they close, a profile per person, and a weekly reflection across your team. How it works
- How context gets in
- Your calendar, one-line notes you write in the app or straight from Slack, and introduction forms your team fills in. Integrations
- What it is not
- Not a meeting recorder, not an engagement survey, and not a way to monitor or score your team. How it differs
You're not disorganized. You're over-subscribed.
A manager's context lives everywhere at once — calendars, Slack threads, hallway conversations, and your own memory. By the time the next 1:1 comes around, half of it is gone.
- You prepare in the two minutes before the call — or not at all
- Notes scatter across tools, or never get captured
- Commitments you made quietly slip through the cracks
- The thing someone told you last month is already fading
It's not a discipline problem. There's simply too much to hold — and the cost lands on the people you lead.
Oluma keeps the thread for you.
Three quiet steps that turn a scattered week into context you can actually use.
It gathers
Meetings, notes, introductions, reflections, and Slack — Oluma quietly collects the context as your week happens, no extra busywork.
Emily makes sense of it
She surfaces what's changed, what's owed, and what to ask — before each conversation, instead of after.
You show up ready
Prepared for the 1:1, clear on your follow-ups, and fully present with your people.
Every 1:1, already prepared.
Oluma works the way your day actually runs — before, during, and after the conversation.
Before: a prep brief that's ready when you are
Last meeting's notes, open follow-ups, and what's changed for this person — waiting for you the morning of.
During: capture without leaving the moment
Jot a note or a follow-up in one line — including straight from Slack — so you never break eye contact to remember it.
After: nothing rides on "I'll remember that"
Follow-ups are tracked and resurfaced, so commitments get closed instead of forgotten.
Over time: a month of moments becomes something you can learn from
Weekly reflection and leadership trends turn day-to-day context into patterns you can act on.
The intelligence behind Oluma
Meet Emily
Emily isn't a chatbot you have to go talk to. She's the part of Oluma that's paying attention, so you don't have to hold it all in your head.
Prepares you
A short brief before each 1:1 — last conversation, open commitments, and what has changed for that person.
Surfaces what matters
Patterns across your team that are easy to miss when you are moving meeting to meeting.
Notices what slips
Follow-ups and commitments resurfaced before they fall through the cracks.
Answers what you ask
“What did Priya and I land on last month?” “Who haven’t I met with in three weeks?” Ask Emily, instead of digging.

Questions managers ask first
Short answers here; the full set is on the FAQ page.
What is Oluma?
Oluma is a memory layer for managers — leadership context software that gathers what happens across your meetings, notes, and follow-ups, then brings the right details back before your next 1:1.
Who is Oluma for?
People managers who run regular 1:1s: team leads, first-time managers, engineering, product and design managers, directors, and founders who manage directly. It is one manager's workspace, not an HR system.
Does Oluma record or transcribe my meetings?
No. It does not join calls or capture audio. It reads your calendar to know a meeting is happening and works from short notes you write yourself.
How is this different from an employee engagement survey?
Engagement surveys measure sentiment across an organisation and report it to HR and executives. Oluma holds one manager's context about their own team and produces no scores, rankings, or organisation-level reporting.
Is my team's data used to train AI models?
No. Oluma does not train AI models on customer data, and it is not sold or shared with advertisers.
