A Jira board means nothing to a CEO

The beauty of building from a pain point is just how unaware you are that others face the same thing.

I had a meeting with two CEOs two days ago who heard about Sys-Buddy.

Their pain point? "We gave our devs AI and still things are out of sync." Another pain point? They wish they could have a seat when the discussions are being made.

FYI: we recently rolled out the Guest role, which handles exactly this — a seat at the table for the person who isn't writing the code.

The next vision is how we make this solution enterprise. Your organization pulls our image, self-hosts, and manages your workflows.

We will not replace Jira; we will not replace Linear; heck, we don't want to. 🤣

What we want is: you plug in whatever project management tool you have — whatever communication channel, e.g. Slack or Teams; GitHub, GitLab, or for the brave, an Excel sheet — to manage code changes. We do not care.

Our broker's job is simple: teach your agent, based on your configured workflows.

A Jira board means nothing to a CEO. They want results, and results require coordination.

That is the vacuum.

Now we try to fill it.

This will be an exciting feature.
