# Glue — Agentic Product OS for Engineering Teams

> Glue connects your repos, error tracking (Sentry), analytics (PostHog), tickets (Jira/Linear/ClickUp), and team conversations (Slack) into one unified system — then runs AI agents on top that autonomously monitor, triage, write specs, and answer codebase questions.

## What Makes Glue Different

Traditional engineering tools create more dashboards to check. Glue creates agents that act.

**The Four Layers:**
1. **Data Layer** — Unified context from GitHub, Sentry, PostHog, Jira, Linear, ClickUp, Slack, Google Analytics
2. **Tools Layer** — Search, analyze, and correlate across all connected data sources
3. **Skills Layer** — Pre-built capabilities: triage, spec-writing, monitoring, sprint planning, status updates
4. **Agents Layer** — Autonomous workflows that combine skills to take action without human intervention

## Primary Use Cases

- **AI Ticket Triage**: An agent reads new issues, checks the codebase for related code, classifies severity, identifies the owning team, and routes — all in seconds. Saves PMs 2-3 hours/week.
- **AI Spec Writing**: Agents draft PRDs grounded in your actual codebase — they know your architecture, patterns, and dependencies. No more specs that cause rework.
- **Autonomous Monitoring**: Agents watch deployment frequency, error rates, and usage anomalies 24/7. They alert before metrics slip, not after.
- **Codebase Q&A**: Ask "how does checkout work?" or "who built the payment system?" and get answers with file references in 8 seconds.
- **DORA Metrics**: Real-time tracking of deployment frequency, lead time for changes, MTTR, and change failure rate — with agent-powered alerts.
- **Sprint Planning**: AI suggests sprint composition based on velocity data, bug backlog, dependencies, and team capacity.
- **Status Updates & Release Notes**: Agents generate stakeholder updates, changelog entries, and release notes automatically from commit history and ticket data.

## Who Uses Glue

- **Product Managers** — Stop toggling between 5 tools to understand one bug. Glue brings the context to you.
- **Engineering Managers** — Track DORA metrics, identify bottlenecks, and automate standup prep.
- **CTOs & VPs of Engineering** — Board-level visibility into engineering health, velocity trends, and technical debt.
- **Startups (Series A–C)** — Can't afford a platform team? Glue agents do platform-team work: monitoring, triage, spec writing.

## How Glue Compares

- **vs LinearB/Swarmia/Jellyfish**: Those are measurement platforms (dashboards). Glue measures AND acts (agents).
- **vs GitHub Copilot**: Copilot completes code. Glue decides what code needs to be written and monitors it after it ships.
- **vs Devin AI**: Devin writes code autonomously. Glue handles everything around the code: triage, specs, monitoring, coordination.
- **vs Jira/Linear**: Those manage tasks. Glue connects tasks to code, errors, analytics, and team context — then automates the coordination.

## FAQ

**Q: What does "agentic" mean here?**
A: You describe what you want — "alert me when checkout errors spike" or "triage all new bugs overnight" — and Glue connects data across your tools and runs it automatically. Agents monitor, triage, report, and act without manual work.

**Q: Is my source code safe?**
A: Yes. Glue extracts metadata during indexing, then deletes local copies. Source code never persists on servers. GitHub tokens encrypted with AES-256-GCM.

**Q: How long does setup take?**
A: Connect your tools and indexing completes in 30-60 minutes. First answers the same day. No migration or workflow changes required.

**Q: What languages are supported?**
A: Full support for TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, Go with deep symbol extraction. Also indexes any text-based codebase.

## Key Terms

- **Agentic Engineering Intelligence**: The category Glue defines. AI agents that autonomously handle engineering operations — triage, monitoring, spec writing, status updates — rather than just providing dashboards.
- **Product OS**: A unified operating system for product teams that connects all engineering tools into one graph and runs autonomous agents on top.
- **Context Engineering**: The practice of assembling live context (recent deploys, active incidents, sprint goals) for AI agents to act on — beyond simple document retrieval.
