Prebuilt AI product manager and engineer that turn feedback into specs, plans, and tickets, and handle small technical tasks.

Last Updated 9/11/2026

About Backdrop

Backdrop provides two ready-to-use AI agents: AI product manager Alex and AI engineer Sam. Alex turns customer feedback, research materials, and to-dos into specs, plans, and tickets the team can act on, follows up on blocked items, and records the reasoning behind each decision; Sam handles small technical tasks such as copy edits, website updates, and automation fixes, and anyone on the team can assign work directly. They collaborate directly so planning and execution stay aligned; task status, recent updates, outputs, and related tickets are gathered on one page. Key actions such as merging, sending messages, and creating tickets require confirmation first and can be approved in Slack or the dashboard; it connects to tools including Slack, Linear, Asana, Notion, and Google, with no prompts or training required.
