Intelligence that knows mobile.

Specialized AI for mobile‑first prioritization
Luciq’s AI agents prioritize critical performance issues by correlating crashes and ANRs with user context. Unlike Datadog’s broad grouping, Luciq is mobile-trained to ensure you focus on the highest-impact bugs.

Why Luciq works best for
mobile-first teams

Luciq works alongside the observability tools you already use, adding the mobile depth they're missing:
‍
• Align teams around one quality metric
• Identify crash frequency and severity
• Receive contextual bug reports from users
• See exactly what your users are experiencing
• Debug and monitor app ratings and reviews
• Take full control of your phased rollouts

“Luciq gives us a real-time safety net; we’re detecting and patching issues in under 30 minutes, often before our users or even our backend systems realize something is wrong."
Tommy McIntosh
Staff Platform Engineer
Before Luciq, we didn’t have a workflow. With a single centralized location for app data, developers could now quickly assess which situations needed their attention most urgently and strategize best solutions faster.
Maxime Harter
Engineering Manager
We have integrations with Luciq to manage our releases and automatically label them. Then we're able to go in very quickly and look at all the issues that were reported on that release version.
