Question 1

What is Align?

Accepted Answer

Align (Align AI, meet-align.com) does the work around the code for product managers, engineering managers and engineers. It turns standups and other meetings into suggested tasks for each person, keeps those tasks in two-way sync with Jira or Linear, moves tickets as branches, pull requests and merges happen in GitHub, and drafts tomorrow's standup and a prep brief for every meeting. It works inside Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom through a browser extension, or in Align Rooms.

Question 2

Does it replace Jira or Linear?

Accepted Answer

No. Keep the tracker you already have. Align syncs both ways: a task you accept in Align shows up in Jira or Linear, and a change made there shows up in Align. Align Plans is there if you'd rather not run a separate tracker, but you don't have to use it.

Question 3

Will it change our tickets without asking?

Accepted Answer

Not unless you turn that on. By default every suggested task and every status move (branch to In progress, pull request to In review, merge to Done) waits for a one-click approval. If your team trusts it, you can switch on automatic moves, and switch them off again at any time.

Question 4

Which meeting tools does it work with?

Accepted Answer

Google Meet, Microsoft Teams on the web and the Zoom web client, through the Align extension for Chrome, Brave and Microsoft Edge. No bot joins the call. Only the person who presses Start needs the extension, and Start posts a note in the call chat so everyone knows. It reads captions, never audio or video, and it doesn't run in the Teams or Zoom desktop apps. You can also meet in an Align Room in the browser.

Question 5

Is it a note taker?

Accepted Answer

It takes notes, but that isn't the point. A note taker hands you a summary to file. Align acts on it: each task goes to the person who took it on, tickets sync to your tracker and keep up with the code, and the next standup is drafted from what actually changed.

Question 6

How do tickets move themselves?

Accepted Answer

Connect GitHub and Align links branches and pull requests to their tickets. A pushed branch suggests In progress, an opened pull request suggests In review, and a merge suggests Done. You approve each move with one click, or turn on automatic moves.

Question 7

Does it work with Claude Code or Cursor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Align has an MCP server at https://api.meet-align.com/mcp. Add it to Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT or Claude and your assistant can pick up your next ticket, see the meeting it came from and what was decided, and update it when the work is done.

Question 8

What if it suggests the wrong task?

Accepted Answer

Edit it or drop it. Every suggestion links to the moment in the meeting it came from, so you can see why Align suggested it, and nothing reaches Jira or Linear until a person accepts it.

Question 9

Is the call recorded?

Accepted Answer

Not on Meet, Teams or Zoom: the extension reads the live captions only, never audio or video. In an Align Room you choose per room: no recording, audio only, or audio and video. Rooms started without an account are deleted shortly after they end.

Question 10

Is our data used to train AI models?

Accepted Answer

We don't. To be straight about the rest: prompts, transcript text and uploaded images are sent to third-party model providers to run the AI, and during early access some calls go through a provider's free tier, whose terms may let it keep what it processes. The Security page lists every provider. If you work with regulated or very sensitive material, or need SOC 2 or HIPAA, talk to us before you use it.

Question 11

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free keeps 3 Aligns — rooms you come back to, with their board, notes and decisions — plus 3 recaps a month, with Align working in every call, and guests always join free. Up to 5 people also get Pages, Chat and Plans, two-way sync with Linear or Jira, GitHub ticket moves, Slack and the MCP server for coding agents. Team ($12 per person a month, billed yearly) adds unlimited Aligns and recaps, unlimited people, both trackers, every integration, history kept forever and unlimited Aligns and recaps. Details are in the pricing table at meet-align.com/#pricing.

Question 12

What do you charge for?

Accepted Answer

People, not meetings. Plans are per person per month. Meetings captured on Google Meet, Teams or Zoom with the extension, and Align Rooms without the AI, are unlimited on every plan. The only metered thing is minutes with the AI live in a voice Align Room, because that is what costs us money: Team includes 120 minutes per person a month, shared across the team.
