Handoff
What Handoff is
Handoff is web-based team memory for engineering teams that ship with AI. It builds a searchable record from agent sessions, pull requests, tickets, standups, meeting transcripts, and handoffs. Decision records can show rationale, provenance, alternatives, and source. A knowledge graph links people, projects, services, and decisions, helping users inspect relationships and what a change touches. Agent sessions, PRs, and tickets can enter memory through MCP, while Slack and email deliver prompts and digests. Agents and MCP connections are unlimited and do not count as paid seats; billing is per human. Searchable content is retained for one year by default and can be configured from 30 to 730 days; decisions are retained for three years. The Team Plan costs $39 a month per user, with all features. Enterprise uses custom terms and volume pricing, adding SSO/SAML, custom security review, BYOK, and extended retention.
