Hamster gives your team five shared concepts to work with: Direction, Discovery, Delivery, Knowledge, and the Brief as the unit of work that crosses them. They map directly to what's in the product, in the vocabulary your team and the AI both speak.
The leverage is that the AI works from the same vocabulary you do. When you write a Brief, Hamster reads your Blueprints and Goals as context. When the assistant proposes an Initiative, it ladders to a Goal you said you cared about. When a Brief ships, the Blueprint stays current. The English layer is shared between humans and AI — that's how the whole team gets the velocity engineers have been getting alone.
Set Goals with metrics, targets, and per-period results in the framework your team already uses (OKR, North Star, OGSM, V2MOM, AARRR, HEART). The scoreboard lives in Hamster, so reviews start from live data instead of a deck.
Take an idea from a hunch to something the team agrees on, with the AI as a thinking partner grounded in your real work. Discovery happens in chat, in Figma, in code spikes, in whiteboard sessions — and converges into a Brief when the picture is clear.
Ship more, faster, with the AI doing the busy work. Briefs become Plans, Plans become Tasks, Tasks become PRs — run by Cloud Agents for hands-off delivery or from your IDE via CLI and MCP when an engineer wants the controls.
Your Context Graph is the connective tissue between Hamster's English layer (Blueprints, Methods, Goals, Initiatives, Briefs) and the real systems your team works in (GitHub, Linear, Slack, Figma, Notion, the Meeting Agent). It keeps both sides in sync — edit a Blueprint and downstream artefacts re-derive; ship a Brief and the Blueprint updates to reflect what's now true.
Capture context once and let everyone work from the same artefact. A Brief carries the goal, the scope, the user need, the success criteria, and the grounding context. Every shipped PR can trace back to the conversation that started it.
Getting Started walks the first ten minutes — connect a tool or two, open your first chat, and ship something.
