Plan better retrospectives and team sessions — with a little help from AI
Facilitating great retrospectives and team sessions isn’t about following a script.
It’s about reading the room, choosing the right activities, and creating space for real conversations.
That’s exactly why I created the FunRetrospectives Co-Pilot.
It’s a simple facilitation assistant, available on ChatGPT, designed to help facilitators prepare better retrospectives and team sessions faster, without replacing human judgment or creativity.

What is the FunRetrospectives Co-Pilot?
The FunRetrospectives Co-Pilot is a facilitation assistant created by Paulo Caroli, author of Fun Retrospectives.
It helps you design:
Retrospectives
Futurespectives
Team-building sessions
Hybrid sessions (reflection + future + alignment)
This is not a template generator.
It’s a co-facilitator that helps you think through structure, timing, and activity choices — step by step.
Think of it as a co-facilitator who never gets tired of planning agendas.

What can you do with it?
1. Create a session agenda
Use the Co-Pilot to design your session by answering a few simple questions:
- Number of participants
- Remote, in-person, or hybrid
- Context and main objective
Based on your answers, the Co-Pilot helps you:
- Choose the right session type
- Structure the agenda (7-step or flexible block-based)
- Select activities that actually fit your context
2. Create a retrospective summary
After a session, simply paste your notes or upload an image of your board.
The Co-Pilot turns that into a clean summary with:
- Session objective
- Key insights
- Decisions taken
Perfect for sharing with the team or stakeholders.
3. Generate an action plan
If you already have action items, the Co-Pilot helps organize them into a clear action plan:
| Action Item | Responsible | Due Date |
|---|---|---|
| Improve daily standup flow | Alice | Next sprint |
| Review Definition of Done | Team | 2 weeks |
You can also ask it to format the output as:
- A checklist
- A follow-up email
What this Co-Pilot does — and doesn’t do
✅ What it does
- Helps structure sessions step by step
- Suggests facilitation activities that make sense
- Keeps timing realistic
- Adapts for remote, in-person, and hybrid settings
❌ What it doesn’t do
- It doesn’t replace facilitation skills
- It doesn’t force rigid frameworks
- It doesn’t auto-generate “magic” agendas
Facilitation is still a human craft.
This tool just makes it easier.
Why use the FunRetrospectives Co-Pilot?
- Less time planning, more time facilitating
- Better alignment between objective and activities
- More fun, without losing focus
- Built on years of real facilitation experience
This Co-Pilot reflects how I actually facilitate sessions — not theory, not hype.
