The product runs on the machine locally, captures accessibility/screen ocr and takes care of your Jira task updates. No data leaves the machine

This is where it is right now, but the idea is that it does all the developer overhead automatically. No more manual Jira updates, Doc updates, Slack response, etc. No more losing context mid-flow.

Thats the context, what are your thoughts?

That's your product description. It doesn't really matter.

What matters is that you identify who your customer is (ie who is writing the check) and how you plan to reach them.

Selling to mid-level-managers at orgs running Jira sounds tough. But hopefully you have a few you know, and have lined up gor sales already.

Good luck.
