START pod: Alisa Rae, Founder & CEO, Lucent: “AI that watches every session replay to catch bugs and surface insights automatically.”
Description
A bug shows up in your product
Lucent spots it
Drops an alert in Slack
Someone tags a coding agent in the thread
It ships a PR
Fixed before anyone knew it was broken
This is the workflow Lucent users are actually running today
Lucent watches your session replays like a human analyst: friction points, bugs, failed upgrades...
Patterns no human has time to sit through
Connects to PostHog. Quick set up.
Julius, Mastra, BrowserUse and more already on it
Every session replay you're collecting and not watching is data you're wasting
Lucent can help
