01 The Challenge

Observability tools are either expensive enterprise solutions or fragmented open-source projects that don't integrate well.

Teams spend more time stitching together tools than actually understanding their systems.

AI is changing development, but most observability tools weren't built for AI-native workflows.

02 The Solution

Build a unified suite where every product shares data, UI patterns, and authentication.

Make it open source so anyone can self-host or contribute.

Design for AI from day one: MCP servers for every product, natural language queries, AI-powered insights.

01 The Challenge

Legal software is either expensive enterprise solutions ($500+/month) or clunky tools that haven't evolved since 2010.

Solo practitioners and small firms need something powerful but affordable.

Most solutions require extensive training and don't integrate well with modern workflows.
