[Case Study] Designing Tegon, an AI-driven issue tracker

3D promo of Tegon UI

Tegon, the open source AI-first issue tracker for engineering teams, faced the challenge of changing its UI and UX to set the product apart from other issue trackers. Evil Martians took charge of this transformation, successfully redesigning the core experience and bringing forward new ideas for AI-first features to further enhance the issue tracker UX above and beyond. Our contributions helped Tegon launch version 2.0 in just 2.5 months, with well-received results.

AI, at first

Tegon’s redesigned AI capabilities now offer a more intuitive and efficient user experience. Smart filters, ticket augmentation, duplicate detection, and text assistance are streamlined, making complex tasks easier to manage. The integrated AI chat, with GitHub and codebase support, simplifies coding workflows and accelerates triage processes.

Fast, excellent, accessible. Pick all three!

From day one, Figma variables help us create a high-quality UI that smoothly adjusts to both light and dark themes.

Tegon: light and dark UI themes

Using the OKLCH color model, we craft UI palettes that enhance color vibrancy based on the background, meeting accessibility standards while delivering a visually appealing experience.

With a focus on usability, Tegon’s UI is built to support seamless navigation and quick access to key features, allowing teams to dive into their work with ease and confidence.

Team, augmented

Martian product designers do more than just create visuals; they take full ownership of each project. Working hand-in-hand with the Tegon team, we set up an iterative process that includes building hypotheses, planning releases, tracking metrics, and gathering user feedback. Our focus is on finding the right product-market fit and developing solutions that truly connect with users.

“It’s been a pleasure working with Evil Martians! These past 2.5 months have been an incredible journey, and your creativity and hard work have truly made Tegon something special.”
