OpenSea: Turning user issues into shipped fixes automatically
THE CHALLENGE

Signal vs. Noise

OpenSea's team talks to users across Twitter/X, Discord, and support. With thousands of messages pouring in, it was hard to separate signal from noise and turn messy threads into clear, actionable work.

The team struggled to spot issues affecting many users vs. just one and route the right context to the right owners in Linear.

It's really hard to identify issues affecting lots of users and triage those effectively.
THE SOLUTION

Automated Feedback Triage

Cotera's agent sits on top of OpenSea's feedback channels and:

1

Ingests & normalizes feedback

Processes Discord, X/Twitter, and support conversations into structured data

2

Clusters related reports

Groups similar issues to show impact at a glance and identify widespread problems

3

Summarizes and structures

Transforms long threads into crisp, structured context that humans and AIs can understand

4

Auto-routes to Linear

Categorizes issues (bug vs. feature, severity) and routes to the right team with proper context

5

Proposes fixes automatically

In some cases, kicks off AI coding workflows to create draft pull requests

THE RESULTS

Faster Time-to-Fix

AI-powered triage

Teams review a short, prioritized list instead of sifting through thousands of messages

Faster time-to-fix

Issues arrive with clean context or draft PRs instead of dying in the backlog

Better prioritization

Clustering makes it obvious what affects one user vs. thousands

Higher confidence

Team knows they're working on the right things with proper context

With Cotera, we whittle down what humans need to review, route it to the right owners, and often have a PR fixing the user issue instead of a ticket aging in the backlog.
