Orrin centralizes this information behind a simple question-answering interface, making critical details accessible instantly.

• Retrieve past decisions and their rationale from Slack threads.
• Check why a specific Linear issue is blocked and see related discussions.
• Onboard new hires by letting them query ongoing initiatives and team context.
• Reduce unnecessary pings to coworkers by providing self-serve answers.
• Prepare for standups or meetings by quickly catching up on what happened overnight.
