AI Coworkers that run your projects and operations
AI made execution faster. The bottleneck has shifted to deciding what to build while the knowledge behind those decisions is scattered across people, tools, and AI chats. Backdrop provides AI coworkers for projects and operations that understand your company, work with your team,and build shared company context. Across Slack, GitHub, Linear, Notion, Asana, Google Workspace and more, they synthesize customer feedback, create plans and specs, manage tickets, draft documents, and keep work moving.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Akanksha, one of the founders of Backdrop.
AI has made execution dramatically faster. But as execution gets easier, the bottleneck shifts to deciding what to build, why it matters, how to prioritize it, and keeping everyone aligned. At the same time, the knowledge behind those decisions is becoming even more fragmented. It's scattered across Slack, docs, tickets, meetings, and now private AI conversations.
Customer feedback gets trapped in someone's ChatGPT. A feature gets rebuilt because nobody remembers why it was killed. Someone joins the team and suggests an idea that was already tried six months ago. Two teammates ask AI the same question without realizing the other already did.
The problem isn't that teams lack information. It's that they can't build on what they already know. Too often, what people learn in AI stays with them instead of the company. We think AI should make companies smarter, not just individuals. That's why we built Backdrop.
Backdrop provides AI coworkers for projects and operations that understand your company, work alongside your team, and carry context across every project and decision.
We're launching with Alex, our AI coworker for projects and operations. Alex connects to Slack, GitHub, Linear, Notion, Asana, Google Workspace, and more to turn customer feedback into product plans, discussions into decisions, meetings into action items, and plans into execution.
If your team ships software, Alex can also bring in Sam, our AI engineering coworker, to implement features, review code, investigate bugs, and turn plans into shipped products.
We're incredibly excited to finally share Backdrop with the Product Hunt community. We'd genuinely love your feedback, questions, and ideas. We'll be here all day, so ask us anything. Thanks for checking us out! 🚀

Who hunted Backdrop?
Backdrop was hunted by Garry Tan. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
