KanBots: An Open-Source Kanban Board That Runs Parallel AI Agents
By
vitriapp
Solid neighbourhood-bakery energy. Trustworthy and warm.
Summary
KanBots is a free, MIT-licensed open-source desktop application that runs parallel AI agents (Claude Code and Codex) on a kanban board. It allows users to dispatch agents across multiple cards, with each agent operating in its own git worktree. The tool features an autopilot mode for self-evolving feature development, where personas (product, engineer, reviewer, tester) are assigned and the orchestrator splits issues into subtasks, evolving the backlog as agents discover work. Agents can pause and prompt users for decisions, and the board updates live with progress, decisions, and costs.
