We Gave Our Bug Backlog to Agents

· 6 min read

We operate CycleOps and ICPTopup as a tiny distributed team (two founders and some contractors). Like most small teams, we've always had more product improvements queued up than we could get to. UI papercuts, customer-reported bugs, and small polish work can be the difference between a product that feels good and one that feels neglected.

Since February, we've been shipping 5-10 of these incremental fixes every week, with most of the work done by AI agents. We took a continuous improvement process we've been running for years and adapted it so that agents handle the heavy lifting while humans stay in charge of the decisions that require taste, product context, and long term engineering perspective.

This article is a walkthrough of how we moved this process to agents, what is working, and what we want to do next.
