What It Does

DESIGN-OPS connects your existing tools and gives you automated insights across three pillars:

| Pillar | What You Get | |--------|--------------| | Operations | Calendar events, tasks due, email summaries | | Design | Figma activity, GitHub commits, PR reviews | | Analytics | Page views, link clicks, traffic trends |

---
