KanBots has launched an open source Kanban board application that integrates AI agents directly into project management workflows. The desktop app runs agents in parallel across multiple cards, with each operating in its own Git worktree. Key features include autopilot mode with built-in personas for product, engineering, and QA roles that can split work and run autonomously. The application supports Claude Code and Codex CLI agents, includes decision prompts, cost analytics, and MCP server integration. Available for macOS, Linux, and Windows under MIT license with no telemetry. The company also offers KanBots Cloud for teams at $19 per seat monthly, adding real-time collaboration, cross-device sync, and enterprise features like SSO and audit logs.
