Using AI Agents

Overview

Some AI agents join your workspace, so your team can assign them work or @-mention them. Others are AI tools that connect to Shortcut with your access, and find, create, and update work while you use them.

Agents You Assign Work To

These agents appear in your workspace with their own name and @-handle. Make one an owner of a Story, or @-mention it in a comment, and it starts on the work.

  • Korey turns product context into specs and Stories, and hands work off to coding agents.
  • Devin is an AI software engineer. Assign it a Story and it plans and writes the code.
  • Shortcut Open Agents are agents your team builds for its own workflows. They’re in closed beta.

AI Coding Tools

These tools connect through the Shortcut MCP Server. Once connected, they can read your Stories and Epics for context and create or update work from your editor or terminal.

AI Assistants

These assistants connect to Shortcut through OAuth and search, create, and update work from their own apps.

  • ChatPRD uses your Stories and Epics to draft PRDs, and creates work from chat.
  • Odella AI gives its AI Employees access to plan and manage your Stories, Epics, and Iterations.
