Most AI support agents break down the moment a question isn't answered in the docs.
We built Gizmo to go deeper.
Each support ticket gets its own isolated sandbox with access to our codebase, debugging tools, logs, traces, and analytics. So agents can investigate issues, not just link documentation.
Human-reviewed. Context-aware. Built for real support.
How it works 👇

Less compute. Less processing. Lower costs.

When Hervé Guétin built Brush, an open-source Shopify Custom App starter kit, he needed a backend that could handle auth, data sync, and deployment without the usual headaches.
Enter Gadget.
Here’s how it helped:
1. PaaS that just works – built-in DB, ORM, routing, dev/prod environments. No DevOps stress.
2. Shopify integration handled – installs, permissions, API updates, data modeling… all automatic.
3. Production-ready day one – Brush is already running in production.
With Gadget, Hervé could focus on features and value, not backend complexity.
