Marzo AI gives engineers an “extra day” each week by eliminating the wasted time and interruptions that slow teams down—so developers spend more time coding, and less time hunting for context, sitting in meetings, or chasing updates.
The Hidden Time Sink in Engineering
On most engineering teams, developers spend more than half their week not coding:
11+ hours/week in meetings (standups, status syncs, “just-in-case” calls)
8+ hours/week looking for context (searching Slack, pinging colleagues, getting distracted by questions, tracking down blockers)
That’s up to 40–50% of engineering time lost to “coordination tax”—instead of building products.
How Marzo AI Reclaims That Time
1. Fewer, Shorter, and Smarter Meetings
Skip status meetings: Engineers can “decline & follow”—skip routine meetings, and Marzo delivers a personalized highlight reel afterwards, with just what’s relevant to them.
Add Followers: Managers can keep stakeholders informed (PMs, QA, etc.) without bloating meetings.
Pre-Meeting Intel: When meetings are needed, everyone gets a brief with all key context—no more wasting 15 minutes “getting up to speed.”
Result: Fewer unnecessary meetings, smaller attendee lists, less “meeting FOMO.”
2. Less Time Chasing Context
Personalized Daily Briefs: Each morning, engineers see only the decisions, deadlines, risks, blockers, and new dependencies that actually affect their work—with links to the source. No more digging through Slack or Jira.
Instant context in the flow: Reviewing a PR? Wonder why a task changed priority? Just ask Marzo in Slack, GitHub, or your browser and get a sourced answer in seconds.
Result: No more interrupting teammates or endless Slack/meeting search to get unstuck.
3. Fewer Surprises and Less Rework
Proactive risk & commitment tracking: Marzo AI flags blockers, missed deadlines, and changes as soon as they surface, so engineers aren’t caught off guard or forced to rework late-breaking issues.
Clear accountability: Every commitment and decision is tracked to an owner, with the history always accessible.
Result: Less wasted time from “surprise” changes, less last-minute fire-fighting.
What Does This Look Like in Real Life?
An engineer skips two status meetings per week (saving 2 hours).
No more 10-minute Slack searches or pings per blocker (saving 2–3 hours).
Meetings that do happen are half as long and more focused (saving another 1–2 hours).
Fewer last-minute “why didn’t I know?” or “can you catch me up?” syncs (saving 1+ hour).
Total: It’s common for teams to reclaim 6–8 hours per week per engineer—the equivalent of an extra productive day, every week.
Why It Works
Proactive, not reactive: Marzo AI surfaces what matters before you go looking.
Personalized: Each brief and alert is tailored to the individual—no generic spam.
No new tools: Everything happens inside Slack, Google Meet, GitHub, and your browser.
Source-linked: Every answer comes with receipts—so engineers trust the insights and can act fast.
In short: Marzo AI automates the “coordination work” that slows engineers down—so you get more real coding days, fewer interruptions, and your team ships faster.
