The problem it solves

Bugs get mentioned in passing during a Slack conversation and then forgotten because nobody has time to open a ticket for every issue. You end up losing track of real problems because reporting them takes too many steps.

Who it fits

Product or engineering teams who want to make it effortless for anyone to report bugs.

How it works

  1. A team member types a bug command in Slack with a description
  2. Details are captured and formatted for tracking
  3. A new ticket is created in Linear with a bug label
  4. A confirmation message is sent back to the person in Slack
What you get

Bugs logged the moment they're reported

You get every bug reported in Slack instantly turned into a tracked ticket in Linear.

What you get

A new, labeled bug ticket in Linear and a Slack confirmation.

What you need

A Slack workspace and a Linear account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
