What's the business plan, being open source, since you've taken funding? Do you pledge to stay open source? Linear already syncs with Slack and GitHub, and your UI is clearly inspired by it, so what would you say is your biggest differentiator? I hope this does not come across as overly harsh.

Impressive. I'd love to know why you chose to go open-source.

Thank you. We chose open source for several reasons:

1. We are building for Engineering Teams: Being in the public domain allows us to collaborate openly with engineering teams and build a better product.

2. Building Trust in AI Agents: Trust is crucial in AI development. By going open source, we demonstrate transparency and accountability, enhancing trust in our AI agents.

3. Enabling Marketplace Development: Our vision includes creating a marketplace for AI agents (Integrating with multiple tools). Open source facilitates community involvement, driving the growth of this marketplace.

4. Community: We've noticed a gap in a vocal community focused on team management and mutual support. Our aim is to create a space where individuals can come together to share knowledge and assist each other effectively.

We love opensource. We have always built in opensource.

Yes, we pledge to remain open source.

1. Our design is inspired by the linear UI, which we believe is the best. We didn't want to reinvent this aspect.

2. As for our differentiation, we've been building the system for two months and believe none of the existing systems prioritize AI. We're focusing on deploying AI agents in specific use cases such as:

    1. Task prioritization
    2. Feedback management
    3. Bug resolution

3. Business Model: We already have a beta version of our cloud service live, where we charge on a per-user basis.

Congrats on your launch.

JIRA is a pretty large system that does a lot.

Has there been any thought about assisting transitions to happen faster by being able to partially use JIRA as a backend VIA api, and migrate the data?

We've already transitioned few private beta customers from JIRA using a backend script. Although we haven't addressed all edge cases yet, we anticipate that this script will evolve over time. Once we've covered a sufficient number of scenarios, we plan to integrate this option into the UI.

We also plan to build an integration with JIRA where you can still use JIRA and link the issues in Tegon as you slowly migrate to our product. Similar to Github issues which is already live.

Once you become popular what stops amazon etc from simply implementing your open source software themselves and charging businesss. We’ve seen it time and again, perhaps most famously with elasticsearch.

Indeed, I experienced this at Airbyte when Amazon began to charge for implementing Airbyte on their platform. In response, Airbyte took proactive steps such as bolstering the community and modifying the license terms to prevent this.

Additionally, there's a certain inertia involved in applying for all integrations. These, however, will come pre-packaged in our cloud-hosted solutions via OAuth's.

As this is a recurring issue, we plan to engage with the community for ideas on how to effectively address it.
