The problem it solves

Finding out what's blocking a release or whether a bug has already been reported means scrolling through long lists of issues. It's slow, and you often miss the connections between related problems.

Who it fits

Engineering teams and product managers who track work in GitHub.

How it works

  1. Trigger: you ask a question in plain English
  2. The system searches your indexed GitHub issues for relevant matches
  3. AI reads the matches and pulls together a clear answer, using conversation history for context
  4. You receive an answer in the chat, with the related issues referenced
What you get

Issue answers you don't have to dig for

Ask a plain-English question and get an answer pulled straight from your team's GitHub issues, with sources linked.

What you get

A conversational answer to your question, grounded in your actual GitHub issue history.

What you need

A GitHub repository, an OpenAI API key, and a Redis database.

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.
