Adaptive bug intake

Turn “it’s broken” into a brief your engineers can act on.

Send one link. Repro interviews the reporter with follow-up questions tailored to what’s missing, then hands you a reproduction-ready engineering brief — steps, environment, expected vs. actual, severity clues, and evidence, with anything unclear flagged explicitly.

A reporter types

“checkout is broken”

Repro produces

  • · 4 reproduction steps
  • · Environment: Chrome · Desktop · macOS
  • · Expected vs. actual behavior
  • · Severity: Critical — blocks completely, always
  • · 1 missing-information flag

How it works

01

Create a named intake link

One link per surface — “Checkout bugs”, “Mobile app”, whatever fits how you triage.

02

Send it to whoever hit the bug

No account, no app to install. They describe the problem in their own words.

03

Repro adaptively fills the gaps

It only asks what's missing — environment, exact steps, expected vs. actual, severity clues, evidence.

04

You get a reproduction-ready brief

Saved to your dashboard instantly, with explicit flags for anything still unknown.

See it in action

The same vague complaint from the hero, expanded into a full brief.
