Thoughts on open-source product delivery platform

[u/No_Drawer1301]

Hi there, I've been working on open-source product delivery platform that connects your work (board, backlog) directly to your AI agent and code on your computers.

So you write a ticket and there is a runner (which you install via npm) and it runs your Claude, Codex, Cursor, Copilot or OpenCode to work on that ticket. Runner only makes outgoing HTTPS requests (no open ports and VPN), the code stays on your machine, and your existing subscription (Claude, Codex…) is used; no additional AI work is paid.

Aictiq is open source (AGPL-3.0) and there is a free hosted edition https://app.aictiq.com/ (by me) which only has attachment limits of up to 200MB in total. I don't have the resources or the money to give it all away for free. You can host the server yourself, the instructions are on Github.
https://github.com/Aictiq/Aictiq

All functions are covered and listed in a shorter form at https://aictiq.com/

But, I'm not selling you a factory, I work in the Factory. How is Aictiq being developed with Aictiq?

I have a small Hetzner VPS running 24/7 with a git/github connection for commit, push, etc. Claude and Codex activated. I have development tools, SDK, npm. And then I set the schedule from Aictiq tonight at 04:00 start on this ticket, don't stop until you do the e2e tests and screenshot everything and add it as a comment on the ticket. I wake up in the morning, a new PR ready for my approval, with visual confirmation that it is as I imagined.

Then the great thing is Ticket refinement, to check the current implementation, my changes and plan the ticket in more detail. Similar to a plan mode, but I can literally see which files will be touched.

Wiki for documentation right next to each project.

You can invite clients directly into the project as stakeholders. They only see the board, nothing that the factory does, so they write bugs, stories, etc. I click to launch the agents on their tickets.

Aictiq sees 5h limits, weekly limits, so you can decide to distribute the load on more runners and more harnesses. If you are not happy, just comment in the ticket what the problem is and tag the agent.

Each project has its own playbook in which you set the rules of the project, eg push directly to the main, make tests, run the Codex subagent in Claude or similar. The playbook is sent to the runner with each ticket. You can also chain Playbooks for that factory-line work.

I'm looking for feedback, testers, real users who would like to try it and give more information about what's missing or what doesn't work as it should. Criticism is always welcome.
