Integrating AI agents with a task tracker

We connect AI agents to your task tracker: tasks appear from dialogs and incidents, statuses update automatically, and irreversible changes are confirmed by a person.

The agent creates, updates, and links tasks in Jira, YouTrack, or Asana as work happens.

What's included

Capabilities

Tasks from a request

The agent turns a message or incident into a ticket with context, a source link, and a proposed priority.

Statuses without manual entry

Stage transitions are recorded from CI events, logs, and threads, not moved by hand.

Links and duplicates

The agent merges and links similar tickets so one problem does not live in three cards.

Estimate from history

The agent proposes an estimate and assignee from similar closed tasks; the final call stays with a person.

How we work

From request to result

  1. 1

    Process audit

    We review the board, statuses, and transition rules: where tasks appear, who files them, and what breaks on handoff.

  2. 2

    Status schema

    We fix the mapping of events to transitions and block irreversible actions without confirmation.

  3. 3

    Agent integration

    We connect to the API and webhooks and build scenarios for creating, updating, and linking tasks.

  4. 4

    Pilot on one queue

    Two weeks on the real flow: we measure tasks filed without a person and the number of edits after the agent.

Who it fits

Check if it fits you

Good fit

  • A dedicated tracker with an API

    Jira, YouTrack, or Asana offer an API and webhooks: the agent connects with no workarounds.

  • Transition rules defined

    There is a status list with conditions: the agent follows it instead of inventing its own.

Not a fit

  • Tasks live in email

    If tickets live in threads, we move the process into the tracker first.

  • Irreversible transitions on autopilot

    The agent does not close epics or delete tasks on its own.

Track record

What you get

−35%

time spent filing and moving tasks

The agent filed tasks from support requests and updated statuses from CI events; manual filing stayed only for large features.

A ticket in minutes

Tasks survive the thread

The agent files a ticket while the problem is fresh and attaches the conversation and files. Tasks from threads reach the tracker.

Statuses from events

Shorter standups

Statuses come from events, so the meeting discusses decisions while the agent moves the cards. Standups get shorter.

One ticket

Duplicates get linked

The agent links similar requests to an already open task. Duplicates get linked, tracker load drops, and finding the right ticket takes seconds.

History-based forecast

Honest estimates

The agent proposes a priority and an estimate from closed tasks, and the gap against reality shows on a chart. Estimates get more honest.

Scope of work

What the delivery includes

A process audit

A process audit reviews the board, statuses, and transition rules, to see where tasks appear and what breaks on handoff.

A status schema

A status schema fixes the mapping of events to transitions and blocks irreversible actions without confirmation.

Agent integration

Agent integration connects to the API and webhooks and builds scenarios for creating, updating, and linking tasks.

A pilot on a queue

The pilot on a queue runs two weeks: we count tasks filed without a person and the number of edits after the agent.

How it works

How the system is built

  1. A message into a ticket

    The agent turns a message or incident into a ticket with context, a source link, and a proposed priority the moment it appears.

  2. Links and duplicates

    The agent links similar requests to an already open task, so duplicates stop piling up and tracker load drops, and finding the right ticket takes seconds.

  3. Statuses from events

    Stage transitions are recorded from CI events, logs, and threads, so statuses update without manual entry, and the team sees the current picture in real time.

  4. An estimate from history

    The agent proposes an estimate and assignee from similar closed tasks, while the final call stays with a person who sees the full history of the work.

Limitations and cost

Where the solution pushes back

  • 01

    The team defines transition rules

    The agent follows the same transition scheme as the team, so the team defines the statuses. Where the rules stay silent, the agent repeats the mess.

  • 02

    Planning stays with the team

    The agent removes routine around tasks, while the team plans sprint priorities. Planning stays with people, and the agent takes the busywork off their plate.

  • 03

    Support grows with the project count

    With dozens of projects, support time grows: each status set needs its own mapping. We fix the support scope before the start so the load stays planned.

  • 04

    Tracker connection over API

    Without an API the integration is limited to email triage, and a person moves tasks by hand again. A tracker webhook gives the normal mode and removes manual moves.

Technologies

The technologies we use in our work and their role in a project.

Tracker and event flow

The agent works with Jira, YouTrack, and Asana through their APIs. Changes arrive by webhook through Kafka, and task history is stored in PostgreSQL.

A tracker with a rich REST API and webhooks: the agent creates tasks, reads transitions, and listens to status changes.A flexible tracker with custom workflows: the agent's status mapping matches your transition scheme.Task management with an API: the agent runs cards and sections without breaking the team's views.The event bus: CI runs, logs, and ticket changes converge into one stream without polling the tracker.Stores the status mapping and the agent action log: you see which task it created or moved, and why.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does the agent file tasks itself?

Yes, if it has create rights. Filing is reversible, so it does not need human confirmation on every step.

Who closes tasks?

A person or a CI event by project rules. The agent closes only those clearly tied to a successful run.

What about non-standard tickets?

They go to a manual triage queue with a note and a reason instead of dissolving into the general list.

How long does the rollout take?

A pilot on one queue takes two weeks; a full launch with several projects starts at five weeks.

Can the tracker connect to other systems?

Yes, events arrive from CI, email, and messengers, and the agent merges them into one stream and files tasks in the tracker. External systems need no shared bus, just a webhook.

What does the pilot report show?

How many tasks were filed without a person, how many edits were needed, and on which types the agent erred. Few edits mean we widen the queue; many mean we add rules.
