Hey HN! We're Harshith, Manoj, and Manik, and we're thrilled to re-introduce Tegon, an open-source issue tracker built with engineers in mind. Here is our demo video (https://www.loom.com/share/b664b01e9b064a02be5791c12b77a107?...)

Traditional issue trackers like Jira can be slow, bloated, and bogged down by unnecessary processes. Tegon takes a different approach, leveraging AI agents to streamline workflows and empower your team.

Tegon is AI-first

- Blazing Fast: Loads data instantly from your local machine for smooth navigation (powered by real-time background syncing).

- AI-powered Assistant: Automatically suggests titles, labels, and assignees, and even identifies duplicate issues while you create new ones.

- Smarter Summaries: Uses AI to generate concise summaries of issue activity, keeping you focused.

- Natural Language Search: Filter issues with ease by simply typing in plain text.

- Automated Triaging: AI saves time by automatically categorizing issues coming in triage

What's coming next

Tegon isn't stopping there. We're actively building features to:

- Prioritization Powerhouse: Groom and prioritise unscoped requirements for efficient development (check out our GitHub issue for more details

- Personal Section: A dedicated personal section containing My issues and My notes

- Context Enricher Agent: Tegon Agent will flag issues with insufficient descriptions to prevent misunderstandings

- Prioritisation Agent: Assist team leads in managing sprints by analyzing tasks, priorities, and bandwidth in real-time, suggesting adjustments for optimal workflow. [Coming soon]

The automation of manual tasks and the ability to provide context to engineers are much-needed features in fast-paced development environment
Hey! Manik here, one of the co-founders of Tegon. Would love to know what are the sources whose context is generally missing in issues in your experience?
I certainly want to use those features, but know how hard to change existing habits. Have you considered building plugins with your AI features for Jira?
Thank you for your interest! Yes, we have considered building plugins with AI features for Jira. However, due to the limitations we face with control over Jira's UI, we've realized that creating an entirely new interface would be necessary for the kind of seamless interaction we envision.

Our focus isn't just on improving interactions but also on enhancing prioritization of the issues.
