Different input. Different intelligence.
Modem is a good product that pulls feedback from Slack, Discord, and email. Jetson is purpose-built for the support-to-engineering pipeline — it reads Help Scout, Zendesk, and Intercom conversations and ships classified issues to GitHub or Linear with customer quotes and code context.
Same goal, different data
Modem listens to community channels. Slack messages, Discord threads, GitHub discussions, and email. That's valuable for teams whose customers communicate through those channels. But community messages tend to be shorter, less structured, and often come from non-paying users.
Jetson listens to support conversations. Help Scout, Zendesk, and Intercom — where paying customers describe problems in detail because they need help. Conversations include reproduction steps, device info, screenshots, and context that Slack messages rarely provide.
Support volume is a built-in prioritization signal. When 12 customers email about the same bug, that's a P1. When 12 people mention something in Slack, it might be a trend or it might be noise. Support conversations come from customers with active pain — they're inherently higher-signal.
Both create GitHub and Linear issues. But Jetson's include customer quotes with links to the original conversation, relevant code files identified by AI, and reproduction steps extracted from the support thread. The issues are detailed enough that a developer — or a coding agent — can start working immediately.

Why support inboxes win
Higher-signal data
Support conversations come from paying customers describing real problems in detail. They include reproduction steps, device info, and screenshots — context that Slack messages rarely provide.
Every reporter is identifiable
Support conversations are tied to real, identifiable customers. You know who's affected, their plan, and their history. Community channel messages often come from anonymous or non-paying users.
Issues ready for engineering
Jetson creates GitHub and Linear issues with customer quotes, reproduction steps, and AI-suggested code files. Detailed enough for a developer or a coding agent to start working immediately.
$49/mo vs $144/mo
Jetson starts at $49/month with 300 conversations included. Modem starts at $144/month. Both create issues in GitHub and Linear. Jetson's include code context.
