y.gy frustrations that cost your team hours every week
  • Manually navigating to a URL shortener site to shorten links while working in another tool breaks the workflow
  • Copy-pasting long URLs into a shortener and then copying the result back into an email, CRM, or social post is repetitive and slow
  • No keyboard shortcut or browser-level action to shorten the current page URL in one step
  • Tracking which short links were created for which campaigns requires manual logging in a separate spreadsheet or doc

PixieBrix is designed for teams that want to move faster without heavy engineering effort. It is commonly used by support teams, operations teams, product teams, and technical teams who need to connect tools, reduce manual work, and ensure the right information reaches the right people at the right time.

PixieBrix is a browser-based automation platform that lets you customize how the tools you already use work together. It allows teams to add context, automate workflows, and create guided experiences across apps like support tools, internal dashboards, and SaaS products without building or maintaining custom integrations.
