Start with Chrona

Chrona helps you keep conversations and your team's plan in step. It works in both directions: bringing commitments and updates from meetings into the plan, and bringing planned work that has gone quiet or needs attention back into the conversation.

Use Recap to review suggested updates against the meeting evidence. Use Work to see where an expected update is missing, work is overdue, or a question still needs an answer. You decide what to keep, change, dismiss, or follow up on.

Your plan can stay in Linear or Smartsheet, or you can keep work in Chrona. Each connection supports different operations. Check the connection guide before choosing where approved work should go.

Set up your first workstream

You need an account with access to your organization. If access has not been arranged, contact the person who invited you.

1. Open Chrona Actions. Choose Sign in with Microsoft, or enter your email address and choose Email me a code. For the email option, enter the numeric code from the message.
2. In Name your workstream, enter a name for the project or recurring body of work your team is running. A description is optional. Choose Continue.
3. In Where should kept work go?, choose Keep work in Chrona, or choose a supported work tool and complete its setup. Decide later lets you finish setup later.
4. In Add your first meeting, paste or upload a transcript, or connect Granola and choose a meeting. Follow the meeting steps.
5. Choose Check your first recap to review the meeting you added. Or choose Open the workstream without a meeting and add one later from Meetings.

The workstream owner or an organization administrator can open Settings, expand Workstream guidance under Guidance for Chrona, edit the background information, and choose Save guidance. Organization details are read-only there. Changes apply the next time a meeting is processed.

Review, then keep work moving

Before the next meeting, look at Needs an answer in Work. Review overdue work and missed next-update dates so you can ask about the items that need attention. A due date says when work should finish; a next-update date says when you expect news.

Read each suggestion and its meeting evidence before deciding. The button names where that decision saves the work. Approval in Chrona and a successful save to another tool are separate outcomes, even when one button starts both.

Review suggestions and manage work explains these decisions and how to send meeting-prep emails to the people assigned actions. You can also request meeting summaries to review, edit, and share after a meeting.

If a connection, permission, or processing problem stops you, find the next step in Help.
