Find the decision behind the handoff
A manager opens a ticket and sees that a task is blocked. The reason might be in a meeting, an email or a message from another department. Sentra connects those records so the team can see what was decided, why it changed and who owns the next step. [1][2]
The tool brings information from authorized sources such as Slack, Drive and Jira into a shared record. People can ask questions through supported assistants, and software agents can use the same record via an API or MCP. Sentra says it checks the source permissions when it serves an answer. [1]
What held up a store repair
In Sentra’s case study, a Lenskart store’s power backup failed. Replacing a battery required a quote, an approval and a commercial manager’s signature. Each step was short, but one request waited weeks at a signature shared by hundreds of other requests. [3]
Sentra analyzed work across ten departments to surface dependencies that were holding up other work. It reported 58% fewer stalled dependencies over four weeks. That figure comes from the company’s account of this deployment. [3]
An organization’s record of its own work
Co-founders Ashwin Gopinath and Andrey Starenky brought research and AI engineering experience from institutions including MIT, Caltech and IBM. Sentra joined a16z speedrun’s sixth cohort. The team is building a record that can follow a decision across tools and give people and agents the context they have permission to see. [1][2]

The bigger picture
For a team trying to unblock a decision, finding the right message is only part of the work. Sentra connects that message to the handoff, the owner and the other work waiting on it. [1][3]
