Walk out of the retrowith the changes written down
Most retros end on a high and dissolve by Monday: the same frustrations come back next sprint because nobody wrote the fix down. Khint turns your raw retro notes into a clear recap and a short list of improvement actions with a reusable AI action, keeps the sprint context with Memory, and files each action as a real task from the same keyboard shortcut.
The retro felt great,
then nothing changed
The team aired the real friction, agreed on a few things to try, and left. By the next retro the same complaints surface, because the notes stayed a photo of stickies and the “action items” never became anything anyone owned. The fix is unglamorous: write the recap, pull out the concrete experiments, give each one an owner, and put it where the team will see it. Khint compresses that with its three pillars (Agents, Capture, and Memory) wired together behind one palette, so the follow-through happens where your notes already live.
From the wall of stickies to owned actions
Closing out the “Sprint 24” retro the moment it ends.
Keep the sprint's session open for the retro
If you ran a Memory session through the sprint (call it “Sprint 24”), keep it active for the retro. Every Action you ran is logged to it, and Khint keeps a compact running summary. So when you write up the retro, the model already knows the arc of the sprint: the items that slipped, the rework, the blockers you flagged along the way, grounding the recap in what actually happened, not just what people remembered to say.

Pull the retro board off the wall
Half a retro lives in a photo of stickies or a screenshot of a Start / Stop / Continue board you can't copy text out of. Run Extract text from the palette, drag a box around it, and the lines land on your clipboard: the OCR happens on the OS screenshot layer, no separate window opens. Paste them into the notes your retro Action will read. How Capture works →
Turn the wall into themes
In Agents, save an Action like “Retro recap”. No prompt yet? Type a description and press Generate. Khint drafts one that groups the raw notes into what went well, what hurt and why, and the open tensions worth a decision. Select your messy notes, hit Cmd+Shift+K, run it, and the structured recap is pasted back in place for the team to react to.
Pull out the improvement actions
A retro is only worth it if something changes. Run a second Action: an “improvement actions” extractor that returns a short, owned-and-dated list of experiments to try next sprint. Chaining the two Actions into one Workflow turns “raw notes → recap + next steps” into a single keystroke.
File the actions so they don't get lost
With Atlassian or Linear connected, use the Create issue row to turn each improvement into a real, assignable task. One item per run, so each is deliberate. Want the whole recap somewhere the team revisits? The Confluence Create page row publishes it as one page you can reopen at the start of the next retro. How integrations work →
Why not just paste the notes into a chatbot?
You can, and every sprint you'll re-paste the same team context, restate how you like a retro framed, and copy each action into the tracker by hand. Khint removes the round-trips: the recap Action is saved once and reused every retro, Memorycarries the sprint's context into the prompt automatically, and the Atlassian and Linear integrations push each improvement where the team will actually pick it up. Because Actions only see the text you select, plus the session summary you opted into, what the team aired in the retro isn't sitting in a chat history. The retro is a bookend to the planning session that started the sprint.
Common questions
What does Khint do for a sprint retrospective?
A retro ends with a wall of sticky notes: what went well, what didn't, and the frustrations the team finally said out loud. Khint sits behind one shortcut (Cmd+Shift+K) so you can turn that wall into something usable without leaving your notes. Select the raw retro notes, run a reusable Action, and get back a structured recap: themes that went well, what hurt and why, and a short list of improvement actions the team agreed to try. It works wherever the notes already live: your doc, your retro tool, or your browser.
How is this different from a sprint review summary?
A sprint review (the demo) faces stakeholders and recaps what shipped: see sprint review summary for that. A retrospective faces the team and is about how the work felt: process friction, what to start, stop, and continue. The output isn't product tickets or a sponsor update: it's a small set of process improvements the team owns. A retro Action is tuned to surface themes and concrete next experiments, not to report delivery.
Can Khint turn the improvement actions into tracked tasks?
Yes, when you connect a tracker. Once Atlassian is set up with your email, API token, and cloud domain, the palette adds a Jira Create issue row so each improvement becomes a real, assignable task instead of a forgotten sticky note. Linear and Notion are supported too, and the Confluence Create page row can publish the whole recap as one page the team revisits next retro. Every write is one explicit action you trigger: one item per run, nothing posted in the background.
Do I have to write the retro prompt myself?
No. In the Action editor, type a one-line description like "summarize these retro notes into themes and improvement actions" and press Generate. Khint drafts the prompt; press Improve later to refine it in place. You can also browse the built-in starter packs from the Agents page and clone one as a starting point, then adjust it to match how your team runs retros.
Where do my retro notes go?
An Action only ever sees the text you selected, plus the compacted summary of your active Memory session if you opted in. Memory sessions live in a local SQLite database on your machine and are never synced to Khint's servers, and any Jira or Linear credentials stay in your OS keychain. Stop the session and the context is closed. Nothing the team aired in the retro leaves your device silently.
