About the Company

Janet AI (janet.ai) is the first AI-native ticket management system, built for modern engineering teams and tool stacks. Janet AI doesn’t wait for your manual work. Janet plugs into your meetings, Slack, Discord, SMS, email, GitHub, and coding agents to auto-track tasks and progress, auto-enrich ticket context, surface insights across your team, and more. Users love Janet AI, with more and more teams onboarding and migrating away from manual ticketing softwares every week!
