The Problem

Forward deployed and applied AI engineers at companies like Mistral, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, and Amplitude are tasked with translating customer friction into actionable product and model feedback. This insight currently lives in scattered call notes, Slack threads, and engineer memory, so gaps get hidden rather than fixed and the product roadmap loses high-fidelity signal from real deployments.

Potential Solution

A SaaS tool that ingests forward deployed engineers' customer interactions (call transcripts, deployment notes, support tickets, integration logs) and uses LLMs to extract structured product proposals, model failure cases, and feature gaps. It then routes each signal to the right internal owner in product, research, or engineering with deduplication, severity scoring, and traceability back to the originating customer.

Why Now?

AI labs and infra companies are scaling forward deployed engineering teams in 2026 to embed with enterprise customers, and they explicitly need a closed loop between field deployments and model/product iteration that manual note-taking cannot sustain.
