(Examples only you will help define the real ones.)

- Automating engineering chores (PR templates changelog generation data scrapers)

- Creating small internal dashboards or assistants for Ops or Sales

- Streamlining onboarding through AI-assisted documentation

- Improving CI/CD workflows using AI-generated configs or checks

- Code search assistants

- Tools that reduce cognitive load for engineers or operators

The spirit is: identify friction reduce it ship.

Why join Ovrsea
