Woes.

Woes is an API-native help desk for developer support — one inbox that unifies live chat, email, and Discord, with an AI that answers from a team’s actual product documentation and API context.

The site puts the promise up front — “the help desk that answers with proof” — and the product is built to earn it.

Developer support is fragmented across channels, and generic support AI is worse than nothing when it invents endpoints that don’t exist.

Teams end up copy-pasting between a chat widget, an inbox, and a Discord server — and they can’t put an AI in front of developers if it isn’t grounded in their real API.

Make an AI answer you can actually ship to developers: grounded, cited, and honest about what it doesn’t know. Then put it in a workspace a support engineer can drive from the keyboard.

The bar was trust — a wrong answer to a developer is expensive, so the product had to prove every claim and hand off cleanly when confidence drops.

Ground the AI in ingested OpenAPI specs and crawled documentation. Every answer carries inline citations; guarded live API checks run against encrypted credentials; low-confidence questions hand off to a human automatically. No invented endpoints, ever.

Around it, a workspace built for people who live in a terminal — one conversation thread per customer across every channel.

A unified inbox where chat, email, and Discord collapse into a single thread. AI drafts are staged before a human sends, with one-click takeover, and a terminal-style CLI workspace makes triage fully keyboard-driven.

Citations and confidence are first-class UI, not footnotes — the interface is built around proof.

A dark, developer-grade workspace: monospace where it earns its place, a tight status vocabulary, and citation and confidence surfaced as components rather than afterthoughts.

Density without clutter — the system assumes a power user who wants everything one keystroke away.

OpenAPI ingestion, documentation crawling and chunking, and guarded API calls against encrypted credentials, behind a unified inbox and a public REST API.

There’s even a bring-your-own-key billing option, so teams can run the AI on their own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google credentials — a real answer to the “where does our data go” question.

Woes is live and onboarding in private beta — a support tool that treats grounding and citations as the whole point, built to resolve rather than deflect.

The kind of product that only works when design and engineering are the same conversation.
