FAQ from Burnout Bot
What is Burnout Bot?

How to use Burnout Bot?
After installation, Burnout Bot operates passively and transparently—analyzing aggregated, de-identified interaction patterns. It surfaces insights via dedicated Slack channels or DMs, requiring zero daily effort from users.

Absolutely. Its adaptive engine tailors insights to your team’s size, role composition, project cadence, and historical patterns—so a support team’s action plan differs meaningfully from an engineering squad’s.

Its sustainability analytics track metrics like meeting-to-deep-work ratio, uninterrupted focus windows, and cross-team dependency balance—helping teams spot erosion *before* fatigue becomes systemic.
What is the 'inspo for high-quality breaks' feature?
A light-touch, opt-in feed delivering bite-sized, research-backed break prompts—such as “90-second breath reset,” “movement micro-challenges,” or “digital detox nudges”—designed to interrupt autopilot and renew attention.
