Demo: The Human + AI-Agent Dev Team

What happens when coding is no longer the bottleneck in product development?

I made a new demo video showing how we use AI agents internally at Abundly - both for coding, backlog management and release management. It's a system of AI agents & human engineers working together, building on each other's strengths.

This not only enables us to release a new version of our platform every day, but also makes the work really fun, since we can focus on the higher level stuff (design/architecture/ux) and ship value every day.

For each agent I demonstrate what they do, what value they provide, and what we learned when making them.

• Cursor: writes most of the code
• Backlogger: turns messy Slack threads into clean, well-structured Notion tickets
• Releaser: manages our daily release process end-to-end: PRs, release notes, changelog, announcements
• Grace: a higher-level "colleague" agent that handles stakeholder requests from Slack all the way to pull request, coordinating with Cursor and the other agents
  

Grace is particularly fascinating. She does things proactively, and improves herself regularly based on our feedback. Since she is running on the Abundly platform (along with Backlogger and Releaser), and can edit code, she is also effectively improving the platform that she is running on.

This is of course only a snapshot in time - we are continuously learning and experimenting with how to use agents effectively, while still staying in control of architecture and quality.

Here is the video.
