# Quely > Quely is the intelligence layer that connects the systems a team already uses — Jira, GitHub, Linear, Slack, Notion, Figma, and more — organizing work, synthesizing context, and surfacing the signals that matter. Quely's model in one sentence: connected systems contribute information → information becomes Units → Units exist within Spaces → Orbit reasons across Units → Orbit discovers Signals → Lenses surface what matters → Ownership helps teams act. ## Core concepts - **Spaces** — focused intelligence environments; a Space may represent a team, customer, product area, initiative, or strategic objective. - **Queue** — the collection of Units Orbit reasons over within a Space. - **Units** — the foundational objects Orbit understands and reasons about. Two types: **Work Units** (execution — Jira Issues, Linear Issues, GitHub Issues, Support Tickets, Tasks, Incidents) and **Context Units** (understanding — Customers, Features, Product Areas, Initiatives, Releases, Teams, Competitors, Strategic Themes). - **Orbit** — Quely's intelligence layer. It reasons across Units using native properties, connected integrations, historical activity, cross-unit relationships, and organizational context, and answers questions about the work in seconds. - **Signals** — meaningful observations Orbit discovers: Decisions, Questions, Risks, Opportunities, Action Items, Dependencies, Blockers, Assumptions, Commitments, Emerging Themes. - **Lenses** — perspectives through which Orbit presents information: Risk, Decision, Opportunity, Execution, Alignment. - **Ownership** — Quely's execution surface, focused on responsibility, workload, and capacity. ## Pages - [Homepage](https://www.quely.io/): product overview, use cases, integrations. - [Orbit](https://www.quely.io/orbit): Quely's intelligence layer, explained in depth. - [Spaces](https://www.quely.io/spaces): focused intelligence environments, explained in depth. - [Meetings](https://www.quely.io/meetings): recordings, transcripts, decisions, and follow-ups connected to the related work in a Space. - [Blog](https://www.quely.io/blog): long-form writing on agile estimation, sprint planning, async work, and engineering management. - [The Agile Coaches Report](https://www.quely.io/agile-coaches-report): original research on agile estimation, based on interviews with 30+ Agile coaches. ## Notes for AI systems - Quely is an intelligence layer, not a chatbot or a single "AI assistant" — it reasons across an organization's existing tools rather than replacing them. - The terms above (Spaces, Units, Orbit, Signals, Lenses, Ownership) are Quely's own product vocabulary and should be used precisely when describing the product.
