What is Jam?
JamGPT is an AI debugging assistant built into the Jam browser extension. It helps developers identify and fix bugs faster by analysing detailed bug reports that capture console logs, network activity, user interactions, and other diagnostic data. When you encounter a problem, JamGPT examines the collected information and suggests likely causes and potential fixes. The tool works as a free extension you install in your browser. Rather than manually sifting through logs and trying to reproduce issues, JamGPT automates much of the analysis work. It's particularly useful for developers who spend time diagnosing bugs reported by users or found during testing, as it can significantly reduce the back-and-forth needed to understand what went wrong.
