Show HN: Tegon: Open-source alternative to Jira, Linear

Hi HN, we're Harshith, Manoj and Manik and we're building Tegon (https://github.com/tegonhq/tegon), open-source issue tracking software that uses AI to smartly automate manual workflows or provide more context to engineers for a given task. There's a demo video here: https://www.loom.com/share/b664b01e9b064a02be5791c12b77a107, and you can try out the product at https://demo.tegon.ai using these credentials:

As engineers, our experience with traditional tools like Jira hasn't been great. It is slow, bloated and often acts as a burden to engineers. These tools didn't help engineers in getting the work done faster, they only helped the management in tracking the work which enabled a lot of processes and micro-management which used to kill our productivity.

With the rise of LLMs, we thought about how project management and issue tracking would look 5-10 years from now. The current tools didn't match our vision, which excited us and started the journey of Tegon. We aim to build a tool where manual workflows are either automated or handled by AI. This tool will provide better context about a task to an engineer by smartly gathering data from all sources, helping teams with better prioritization.

Tegon loads all the data from local (indexed db) thus making it super fast to load and navigate. We make all of this happen by real-time sync in the background. Tegon also uses AI to simplify the issue-creation process by automatically creating titles, suggesting labels and assignees and identifying duplicates. Tegon also simplifies the issue creation process from Slack, just apply an emoji to a Slack message and a tegon issue will be created making it easier for other teams to raise bugs or feature requests to engineering teams.

We deeply value the feedback from this community and have spent the last month revamping Tegon's design based on the feedback from our last launch. We just got started and there's a lot more to come. We're eager to get more feedback and keep building. Let us know what you think in the comments :)

Current AI functionalities: 1. AI-generated Titles 2. Smart Delegation 3. Duplicate Detection 4. AI Summarization 5. AI filtering 6. Automated Triaging

Cohere: To improve smart delegation, duplicate detection, and automated triaging, we integrate Cohere's advanced NLP capabilities, ensuring more accurate and efficient similar issue searches.

We are bringing in more agents to delegate some of the work to them. 1. Code agent: This will help you in solving the small code fixes and small features but assigning issues to the agent and giving it instructions on how to solve them. 2. PRD agent: To help in PRD writing for the PM

we'll add more agents for different use-cases going forward

Completely disagree. Their website is fairly unique, and looks really nice and usable. It's a bit "standard" with the gray, but that's fine if that's their branding.

It's wild to see this posted on hackernews.

I'm pretty sure hn has no problem with user traction.

If you are planning to monitise it through SaaS, might be worthwhile to change the license to AGPL from MIT.
