Backlogs don’t clean themselves. Stories don’t write themselves. And progress doesn’t always happen as fast as it should. But what if it didn't have to be that way? 🤔
Human teams already move pretty fast, but human and AI teams move even faster. We've now brought the ability to collaborate with your AI teammates directly into your product development workflow, so your team spends less time on manual work and more time shipping real value.
What is Shortcut for Agents?
Shortcut for Agents turns your Shortcut workspace into a shared environment where AI agents can contribute to real work. Agents can be treated just like team members in Shortcut: assigned Stories, tagged in comments, tracked in workflows, and visible in updates. You stay in control, work gets done faster, and your team can focus on what matters most.
Here's what you could do with agents in Shortcut:
- Scope work directly with AI
- Plan, write and test with coding agents
- Turn descriptions into product-ready PRs in minutes
- Complete code reviews
Agent Integrations
With the new Devin.ai integration, you can assign Stories directly to Devin, track progress, and watch it contribute code. Devin takes care of smaller tasks and boilerplate work, helping your human team stay focused on high-value problems.
More agent integrations are on the way. See the full list of agent integrations here.
And soon, we’ll launch a public Agents API, so you can plug in any AI agent to your Shortcut workspace.
ICYMI, we also released the first version of our open source MCP Server. Connect Shortcut to Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and more. You can access and edit Stories and Epics in the apps to get your agents started coding and to connect the output directly to Github.
Meet Korey, the agent that creates development-ready work in seconds
We also built our own native Shortcut agent: Korey. It was designed specifically to help product and engineering teams structure their work and move faster.
Korey can:
- Translate vague ideas into scoped, ready-for-development Stories
- Break down work into Sub-Tasks and organize it into Epics
- Add complete descriptions and Acceptance Criteria automatically
- Assign work to human or AI teammates
- Quickly find Stories across your workspace
- Summarize what your team accomplished this week
Think of Korey as a junior project manager who never sleeps, always formats tickets correctly, and keeps your backlog healthy.
“There’s nothing worse than staring at a vague ticket and thinking, ‘Who wrote this?’ (Spoiler: it was me). With Shortcut’s new AI Agents, including Korey, I can brain-dump fuzzy ideas and get back scoped, prioritized Stories that make sense to other engineers and drive our team’s momentum.” — Lauren Arnett, Software Engineer at Shortcut
“Korey lives exactly at the right boundary for me, where I can bounce off ideas, refine a work plan, and then get it to organize the plan into Epics and Stories in Shortcut so I can dive right in and start building.” — Jorge Morales, Software Engineer at Shortcut
Korey is currently in early access. Join the waitlist to get started.
The Future of Work
AI isn’t just a tool anymore, it’s a teammate. With Shortcut for Agents, your PM agent Korey helps triage the backlog, draft Stories, and surface blockers so your team can stay focused on what they do best: shipping features, fixing bugs, and pushing your product forward.
We’re just getting started. Keep an eye on our weekly Release Notes for updates.
