Funny, I was just sort of spec'ing this out to myself yesterday. I'd consider building the system out as an MCP server rather than trying to bundle the agent with it. I had an AI build something out that is just a tasklist that works the way I think about tasks, which I've been using both personally and professionally. It's an MCP server only, which I can expose on the internet with OAuth. It has been surprisingly fun to use, because the AI can spontaneously interact with the information in ways I didn't program in. I have a recurring task with an AI to give me a dump of my current top tasks once a day to my phone. Professionally, I'm working between a lot of different teams with their own Jira boards and I needed something to use myself to organize and prioritize tasks that can't be prioritized within one place in Jira. With the Atlassian MCP server hooked up to the same agent as my code it is fairly trivial to attach a Jira bug to a task and then prompt the AI to do whatever to the bug attached to this task. I put an explicit field for it in to the task definition but you don't even really need that, just putting the bug in the description is all that was really necessary. The point I am trying to make here is, you don't even really have to "design" a product at this point. You just need to expose things to the AI so that when the user makes some vague statement about what they want to do it can convert that into concrete calls. The AI and the user will do things with it that you didn't even think of, and users can just add things by saying things in the descriptions of various tasks. I've mentioned how even if AI were to freeze today for the next 10 years we'd still be learning how to use AI and getting more out of it... this is I think a still under-explored application space. | ||
