Backdrop provides AI teammates (Alex and Sam) that autonomously manage product and engineering workflows. Alex handles PM/ops tasks like turning customer feedback into specs and tickets, while Sam tackles technical work from copy updates to feature development. They integrate with your existing tools (Slack, Linear, GitHub, Notion) and require human approval before shipping anything, keeping your team in control while clearing backlogs weeks faster.
