Show HN: I Built an AI PM So You Can Stop Updating Tickets
When I was in FAANG, I despised ticketing. I was always the eng that refused to update. Then when I was a tech lead, I had the pain of pinging everyone for updates because they hated it too.
Things would go out of date, and then no one would really know if we were on track. We also had little visibility into what the team was doing outside of pinging/standups.
So I made an AI that looks at every commit you push and updates tickets for you. It can create tickets if there isn't one, update, leave comments, tag associated commits etc...
Basically, it's an "AI Board Babysitter" so you can just code and let it take care of the paperwork.
It's very much an MVP and I've got it integrated with a 10 person Startup.
Super quick 2 min set up, just integrates with Github + Linear and optionally Slack for action summaries.
I’d love feedback from fellow engineers, EMs, and PMs. Is this useful? What’s missing? What’s confusing? Would this slot into your workflow?

Yea I am half way to a working Jira integration. Turns out, it works super differently than linear.
And yes! Talking to the AI in Slack is for sure a feature I want to support.
Just want to make sure I build the right thing. So sharing early
It helps us figure out what got done and where we are in our roadmap
Then when a commit comes in, I run a semantic search to pull up candidate tickets.
I then feed that to the prompt, and let the AI decide. The challenge is the index for sure, those params definitely still need tweaking.
Yea right now, it doesn't do any de-duping. For sure a feature I can add.
I think there is a whole other side to this where we make PRD -> Tickets streamlined as well as a Backlog grooming assistant.
For sure need to give it more thought though.
