Two big problems are slowing engineering teams down.
Fragmented and manual workflows
Manual effort slows everything down, pulling engineers away from building and shipping.
Automation that does exist is fragmented, sitting outside the checklist, with no single place to manage manual and automated tasks together.
Checklists exist — but they’re scattered across docs, tools, and memory.
No data, no improvement
Most checklists don’t capture structured data — making reporting, auditing, and learning from past runs difficult and time consuming.
Missed opportunities for automation and AI assistance keep tasks slow and inconsistent.
Without a centralised system, every run feels like rework instead of an opportunity to improve.
Most teams rely on half-baked checklist tools.
- Lack of clarity
- No accountability
- Scrambling for related docs
- Knowledge walks out the door when engineers leave
It's time for a smarter way to run engineering workflows — combining AI, automation, and collaboration in one place.
One platform to unify and power your workflows.
Collaborative, trackable, and AI-assisted checklists that combine manual tasks with automation — saving your team time and effort with every run.
Automate and improve over time
AI-powered checklists — use checklist data to power AI-generated tasks like release notes, reports, or updates — all chained seamlessly into the workflow.
Seamless automation — trigger webhooks to run commands, builds, and alerts directly from a checklist.
Smarter with every run — progressively enhance workflows, automating routine steps so your team spends less time managing and more time building.
Unify tasks and accountability
One place for everything — manage manual, automated, and AI-driven tasks side by side.
Clear accountability — always know what’s been done, what’s next, and who’s responsible.
Shared source of truth — processes documented, accessible, and always up to date.
Make engineering workflows smarter, centralised and automated.
Checklists that do more than just check boxes.
Everything your team needs to run critical processes without mistakes — and with less effort.
AI that works inside your workflows
Use generative AI tasks powered by your checklist data to create content, then feed it directly into the next steps of your process.
Automation that does the heavy lifting
Mix manual tasks and automated actions in a single checklist to trigger builds, notifications, and more.
Data that powers your workflows
Checklists don’t just track progress — they capture structured data you can reuse to trigger automations and AI-driven tasks inside the same run.
Ready to go from day one
Start quickly with a growing library of ready-to-use templates, fully customisable for your team.
Scales with your organisation
Manage multiple teams, control access, and assign responsibilities — all from one platform.
Simple to start. Powerful as you grow.
From your first checklist to fully automated workflows, Before Start makes every process easier, faster, and more reliable.
Set it up once, use it forever
Document your process in a repeatable, automation-ready checklist. Start from scratch or customise a ready-to-go template.
Collaborate and automate in real time
Assign tasks, track progress, and mix manual work with automated or AI-assisted actions — like triggering builds, sending alerts, or updating other tools.
Improve with every run
Capture structured data with each run to power reporting, audits, and AI insights — so your workflows get smarter and easier to manage over time.
Power your workflows with the tools you already use.
