Concepts
API-first
Sally is designed around APIs and automation first. The interface exists to support that model, not to trap everything inside a click-only workflow.
Humans + agents
Sally assumes that people, internal systems, and agentic tools may all touch the same projects. That changes how the product should be designed, documented, and permissioned.
Low-noise UI
The UI is meant to help people see status, move work, and collaborate quickly without the ornamental clutter that dominates a lot of seat-expansion SaaS software.
Ownership
Your project management system becomes operational infrastructure. Sally is for teams that would rather own and shape that layer than rent it forever from a bloated vendor.
Operational core, not collaboration theater
Sally is not trying to be a chat app, a document platform, or a kitchen-sink productivity suite. It is trying to be a solid execution layer with real machine interfaces and sane human workflows.
