What happens between the ticket and the merge.

Six steps, each with a gate that can stop it. Nothing reaches your reviewers unless the bug cleared extraction and mapping, and nothing reaches your customer until production confirms the fix is live.

Intake.

Every support channel becomes a queue. Zendesk, Intercom, and Freshdesk tickets arrive automatically. Or hand Watari an issue in Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues or Azure Boards. Screenshots on support tickets get read. Verbatims stay in the customer's language. Structured fields come out the other side, ready for a reviewer.

Automatic intake
Tickets arrive from your help desk automatically; issues arrive from your tracker when your team hands them over.
Screenshots read

Extract.

Read the screenshot, not just the text. Watari reads every attachment and the customer's thread, and turns them into a structured bug report with severity, repro steps, expected behaviour, and the verbatim quote.

Hey team, our cart on Safari 18 just keeps spinning when the total is over $200. I tried two different cards. Smaller carts (≤ $150) work fine and the Stripe sheet opens. We saw a single charge attempt in our dashboard but no confirmation back to the app. This is blocking our weekend sale, please advise ASAP. Browser: Safari 18.0 on iPhone 15 Cart total: $214.50

Checkout button hangs on Safari iOS 18. Smaller carts work, anything over $200 just spins.

Map.

Map every signal to the function that owns it. Watari finds the file, line and function behind each bug, and tells you how confident it is.

Draft.

The PR your CI agrees with. Watari drafts the fix and the tests that cover it, with a description that traces the customer report to the file and the fix. Drafts that weaken your tests never open.

Checkout button hang on Safari 18: fix shipped

Hi Maya, the checkout button on Safari 18 was failing because of a null intent guard that misfired when cart totals crossed $200. We have shipped a fix to production at 10:01 UTC and your charge for #4928 is now reattempting automatically. No further action is needed on your end.

The update for the customer, held until production confirms the fix is live.

What the whole loop looks like.

A worked example, not a customer. The measured results, every case including the misses, are on the benchmark page.

An illustration of one loop: the customer's ticket, the Mapped Issue Watari wrote from it, and the draft pull request that fixes it.

Multi-repo, by design.

Most fixes don’t live in one repo. Watari opens a PR in each repository the bug actually touches, routes reviewers via CODEOWNERS, and waits for every contributing merge plus a clean production deploy before publishing the customer’s RCA.

Frequently asked questions

How does Watari map a signal to my code?

Watari finds the file, line and function behind each bug across every repository you connect, ranks the candidates with a plain reason for each match, and tells you how confident it is.

Does Watari work across multiple repositories?

Yes. Watari opens a focused PR in each repository the bug touches, and only those. Each repo gets its own draft PR routed to the right reviewers via CODEOWNERS. The customer RCA waits for every contributing PR to merge and the production deploy to confirm.

When does Watari publish the customer-facing RCA?

Automatically, once the fix ships: at deploy time for platforms that report deployments to GitHub (Vercel, Netlify, Render, and most CD platforms), or at merge time otherwise. A periodic check and a manual "Mark as deployed" cover anything we can't observe. If a later deploy excludes the fix, we hold the RCA and surface a rollback banner.

What happens when Watari cannot draft a fix?

The bug still arrives mapped, with the reason recorded: the change is too large to fix safely, every file it maps to is too large to edit safely, or a credential already committed to the file blocks the push. You get the mapped issue and the explanation, and a withheld PR does not consume a retry attempt.

When a support ticket reports a bug, your engineers get a drafted fix.

Connect your help desk or your issue tracker, then GitHub or Azure DevOps. Watari maps each bug to the exact file and function in your code and drafts the fix as a pull request your CI checks.
