LogRocket

Nothing beats watching someone's face light up when a purple mini truck pulls up to their office with a truckload of gourmet doughnuts. 😃 We took the ORBITER-I to NYC last week to visit some of our favorite customers starting with Ramp and EliseAI because the best part of building LogRocket has always been the people who use it. Oh and Ramp, your Policy Agent auto approved 100 doughnuts before we even made it back to the truck. 🍩 😉 More cities coming soon. More doughnuts. More mini trucks. You've been warned. ‼️ #logrocket #galileoai #sessionreplay #productanalytics #ai
