When Shortcut fits
A good fit if…
You want software planning built around Stories and Epics, with Objectives, iteration reports, linked Docs and AI teammates such as Korey.
Find the right fit
Tellenze vs Shortcut
Give the release and the lesson a shared home.
Shortcut brings Stories, Epics, Objectives, Docs and agent collaboration into a workspace for software teams. Its approach already connects iterative delivery to feedback and business goals. Tellenze centers that journey on business cases, shared focus, required context and dedicated reviews and retrospectives.
We’re taking early-access interest. Take a look, ask questions, and see if Tellenze fits your team.
When Tellenze fits
Make the learning part of the work.
You want a shared execution loop across disciplines, with explicit business cases, versioned guidance for supported agent actions, and learning sessions that create linked follow-up work.
Explore the LoopSide by side
Let’s put them
side by side.
Different tools make different trade-offs. Here are a few worth looking at. Features can vary by plan and setup.
| What matters | Shortcut | Tellenze |
|---|---|---|
| Business direction | Objectives and Key Results connect Epics to company goals; the Shortcut Way encourages replanning from customer feedback. [1] | Business cases preserve expected impact, costs and success criteria so the team can compare the forecast with actual outcomes. |
| Delivery evidence | Iteration burndown and cumulative flow reports show progress, changing scope and workflow bottlenecks. [2] | Delivery insights inform audience-specific reviews and retrospective workshops, with accepted actions linked back to work. |
| Knowledge | Docs connect written plans to Stories, Epics, Iterations and Objectives, with comments and work created from selected text. [3] | Documents preserve revisions and discussions; reviewed policies and procedures can become Required Context for supported agent actions. |
| People + agents | AI teammates can work on assigned Stories; Korey helps turn rough notes into requirements, Stories and Sub-tasks. [4] | Looper and connected agents participate in shared work and refinement rooms, with attributed contributions and human review of suggested changes. |
| MCP access | The hosted MCP server lets compatible clients find, create and update supported workspace entities, including Stories and Docs. [5] | Compatible MCP clients work with shared tasks, knowledge and discussions within the member’s access and current required context. |
The Tellenze approach
A better ordering flow needs more than a release date.
Imagine replacing manual order-status checks with a self-service flow. Product, engineering and operations need to agree what success looks like and learn from the result.
Explore work management- 01
Define the business case, expected impact and acceptance criteria, then refine the work together before delivery.
- 02
Use a shared Focus group to connect the interface, operational handover and documentation, with people and agents working from the relevant guidance.
- 03
Review the outcome from product and business perspectives, discuss the process in a retrospective, and carry the approved actions into the next loop.

How should we evaluate the fit?
Start with one real workflow. Identify the outcome, the people involved, the context they need and how you will learn from delivery. Compare that journey across the products, including the features and limits of the plans you are considering.
