Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does MuggleLens do?
MuggleLens translates technical development progress into plain English. It automatically monitors your software project's GitHub repository and provides easy-to-understand summaries of development activities, perfect for non-technical stakeholders who want to stay informed about their project's progress.
How does it work?
1. We connect to your GitHub organization through our GitHub app
2. You select which repositories to track
3. We automatically monitor all development activities (commits, pull requests)
4. Our AI translates technical changes into plain English
5. Your clients can view updates and ask questions through our interface
What kind of updates will clients receive?
Clients get clear, jargon-free summaries of:
• New features being developed
• Improvements to existing features
• Bug fixes and solutions
• Overall project progress
Updates can be viewed on our platform or received via email.
Is this secure? How do you handle our code data?
We take security seriously and are transparent about how we handle your data:
- What we access: We only analyze the small code changes (diffs) from commits - never your full code files
- How we handle it: These changes are analyzed briefly to create summaries, then immediately discarded
- What we store: Only the encrypted plain-English summaries - never any actual code
How do clients interact with the platform?
Clients can:
• Ask questions about project progress in plain English
• View automated weekly/monthly progress summaries
• Receive email notifications about significant updates
• Access a dashboard showing project timeline and milestones
What size organizations is this for?
MuggleLens is ideal for software consulting companies of any size who want to improve communication with their non-technical clients. Whether you're managing one project or multiple client projects, our platform scales to meet your needs.

Getting started is simple:
1. Sign up for an account
2. Install our GitHub app in your organization
