The problem it solves

Keeping track of AI coding sessions, issue status, and pipeline failures means jumping between a terminal, your issue tracker, and your CI dashboard. That context-switching slows your team down and makes it hard for anyone but the person at the keyboard to see what's happening.

Who it fits

Development teams running self-hosted AI coding tools who want one place to manage sessions, issues, and pipelines.

How it works

  1. A team member sends a command in the chat
  2. The system routes the command to start, pause, resume, or switch a coding session
  3. Issue updates are pushed to YouTrack directly from chat
  4. Pipeline status and retries are pulled from GitLab
  5. The response or status update is posted back in the chat
What you get

Coding sessions managed without leaving chat

Your development team can start, pause, and manage coding sessions, issues, and pipeline checks from one chat room.

What you get

Session control, issue updates, and pipeline status, all handled from chat.

What you need

A self-hosted chat server, a YouTrack instance, a GitLab instance, and a Linux server with SSH access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
