Woah this is really smart. Can I teach Tusk which PRs are good examples to learn from?
Marcel Tan
@adam_towers hey Adam, glad you brought that up. Yes! You can add links to PRs that are good examples for Tusk to gather insights from in your ticket description. Tusk will then refer specifically to those PRs for context in its "thinking."

Tusk watches your @linear_app and, with a simple tag, does your task and creates a pull request for you to review. It helps if you've tasks stuck in the backlog for a long time and your engineers are too busy. A few tasks on our team were solved with Tusk and we're looking forward to seeing how this product grows!
Marcel Tan
@linear_app @hhmao thanks Henry for the shoutout! Grateful to you for tinkering with Tusk and providing us thoughtful product feedback throughout. We'll keep working towards the end goal of automatically resolving your product quality backlog so your engineering team never has to work on chore tickets. Excited to show you our upcoming automated testing features that will tighten the iteration loop and make it easier for PMs/engineers to verify that Tusk's change works!

What types of tasks does Tusk perform the best on?
Marcel Tan
@ravi_chachra thanks for the note, Ravi! Tusk does best on bug fixes that can be traced from the UI as well as product quality tasks like adding input fields, disabling buttons, changing variable name across multiple files, etc.

What's your pricing like?
Marcel Tan
@harrischh our Team Plan is the most popular for mature teams. It's $495/month for 100 PRs per month, 5 synced repos, agent customization, integration with CI/CD, and more. We have a Product Hunt launch promo ("PHLAUNCH24") that gets you 50% off for your first 3 months. Otherwise, there's always the free plan to give Tusk a spin.

Hey Marcel, How does Tusk handle unique or custom components within a codebase? Do you foresee any challenges with adaptability across diverse tech stacks? Congrats on the launch!
Sohil Kshirsagar
@kyrylosilin Thanks for the support! Tusk uses the entire codebase for context when making changes. For example, if you're asking Tusk to add a button to a page, it will look at your customer component library, other files that have buttons in your codebase, and third party libraries to figure out the best path forward. Tusk actually works across most frontend frameworks because we use an abstract semantic graph of the codebase that isn't syntax specific. That being said, we have tailored it for popular frontend frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.

What type of companies benefit the most from Tusk?
Marcel Tan
@sivaatdatatechfund hey Siva, B2B2C or consumer marketplace companies at a late seed to Series C stage see the most benefit from Tusk given that they often get bug reports and UI-related requests.

What kinds of companies benefit the most from Tusk?
Marcel Tan
@jamesbond007 hey Sean, thanks for the note. B2B2C or consumer marketplace companies at a late seed to Series C stage get the most mileage out of Tusk.
Adrian Ziegler
Congrats on the launch! What's the limit to the number of files that Tusk can modify in a single task?
Jun Yu
@adrmtu Thanks Adrian! Tusk is able to make changes that span multiple files - typically, the sweet spot is under 5 files, but if the changes in each file are simple (e.g., for a search-and-replace type task), Tusk can work reliably up to 15 files.
