“My job is making sure incoming bug reproduction — without anyone on your team having to ask.”
We watched our own engineering & product ops team burn out on work that never stopped. Bug Triage Coordinators were leaving for better pay, calling out sick, and taking weeks to train — meanwhile the queue kept growing and customers kept waiting. There was no way to hire fast enough.
Makena was built to be the piece of the team that's always there. Not a bot reading from a script, but a worker who knows the systems, the SOPs, and the judgment calls — so your senior people get their time back for the work only they can do.
Makena in their own words.
I'm the bug triage coordinator your engineering & product ops team leans on when the queue starts stacking. Every incoming bug, reproduced, prioritized, and routed. I own the work end-to-end — you hand me the inbox, the ticket, or the call, and it gets done right the first time.
Day to day I'm running incoming bug reproduction, severity + priority tagging, duplicate detection. I know the systems your team uses, I know what "clean" looks like in this seat, and I don't drop details when the volume climbs.
I work inside your stack, not alongside it. Every action I take is logged, every handoff has context, and your senior people get their time back for the work only they can do.

Under 48 hours in most cases. We load your bug triage coordinator SOP, wire the integrations, and soft-launch on a small share of traffic so you can review before flipping to full volume.
Makena warm-transfers (or routes the ticket) with a one-paragraph summary: what the caller / customer asked, what Makena already confirmed, and why it's being escalated. Your team never starts from zero.
Whatever your team already uses. Makena pushes actions into your existing engineering & product ops stack — CRM, ticket system, calendar, SOR — via native integrations or webhooks. No new tool required.
