AI task manager for teams on Slack
An AI task manager that works your team’s board in Slack
A team board the AI works for you, inside Slack. Tell Kipwise Agent what the board is for and it builds the steps, works the cards and waits for a person’s OK where you say.
Free trial when you add it to Slack. No card needed.
Ask, approve, and it works the cards
Three steps, all in Slack.
1 · Ask
Say what the board is for
Write it the way you would brief a person: what the work is, how a card starts and who signs off. The agent builds the steps.
2 · Approve
Approve it once
It shows the whole board in plain sentences on one Approve card: each step, who approves, how cards start, and the monthly budget if you set one. Nothing is saved until you press Approve.
3 · It works the cards
Cards start by themselves
A card starts on a schedule, or when something happens in Stripe, Linear, QuickBooks or Intercom. The agent does each step. A step can wait for a named person’s OK, or for an AI check, before the card moves on.
You stay in charge
People who tried AI that works on its own write about the same worries. Each one has a control here.
“The worst part about everything is that you have no idea what things will cost you.”
BudgetSet a monthly budget on a board, in credits (one credit is one dollar of AI use). Its owner is warned at 80%, and the board pauses at the limit.
“…agents get caught in a loop which racked up the credits…”
Limits on every runEvery agent step has a time limit and a credit limit for one run. A run that hits its credit limit stops and is not retried on its own. The board’s owner is told, with a Retry button.
“The AI is also not always reliable enough to eliminate manual work, as its outputs still require checking and corrections.”
Approval stepsAny step can wait for a named person’s OK, or for an AI check against what you asked for. Reject a card and say what should change: the agent proposes a change to the board, and it applies only after an approval.
“AI chat went in circles and kept stalling out with promised reports that never appeared.”
Run historyEvery run is recorded on the card: what the agent did, the check’s verdict, who approved or rejected it. A stuck card is reported to the board’s owner.
In Slack
Set up a board by asking
Describe the work in a channel. The agent drafts the board and reads it back in plain sentences. One Approve and the board is on. From then on, each card is one message in the channel you picked, and its thread keeps the runs, the checks and the comments.
A few boards to ask for:
- A failed payment in Stripe starts a card to look up the customer and draft the follow-up.
- An issue marked done in Linear starts a card to draft the release note.
- A new conversation in Intercom starts a card to sort it and write a note for your team.
- Every Monday, a card checks what slipped.
@Kipwise set up a board for failed payments. When a payment fails in Stripe, look up the customer and draft a follow-up. I want to OK each one first. Cap it at 20 credits a month.
Create the board “Failed payments”?

Questions
What is AI task management for a team?
A board of cards, owned by your team, that the AI works for you. You tell Kipwise Agent in Slack what the board is for. It builds the steps, and each card moves through them: the agent does the work, and a person or an AI check approves wherever you say.
How do I set up a board?
Ask in Slack, in your own words: what the board is for, how a card starts and who approves. The agent drafts the whole board, shows every step in plain sentences on one Approve card, and saves it when you press Approve.
What starts a card?
A schedule, such as every Monday morning, or something that happens in Stripe, Linear, QuickBooks or Intercom, such as a failed payment, a finished issue, a recorded payment or a new conversation. Your team connects each tool once. A person can also ask the agent to add a card by hand.
Who can approve a step?
Whoever you name, people or groups. Each person gets Approve and Reject buttons in their own chat with the agent, and the cards waiting on them are listed in the app’s Home tab. Only the person a card is sent to can decide it. Typing “approve” to the agent decides nothing.
What stops it from spending too much?
Set a monthly budget on a board, in credits. Its owner is warned at 80% and the board pauses at the limit. Every agent step also has a time limit and a credit limit for one run, and a run that hits its credit limit stops and is not retried on its own. Approval steps hold work until a person says go.
What does it cost?
Boards run in Kipwise Agent: $10 per user a month, for at least 3 users, with AI credit included. That is $5 of credit per person and $2 per person of shared team credit each month. One credit is one dollar of AI use. Add it to Slack and the free trial starts on your first message, no card needed.
Where do I see the board?
In Slack. Each card is one message in the channel you pick, updated as it moves, with the agent’s runs, the check’s verdict and comments in its thread. Cards waiting on you also arrive in your own chat.
Can it change things without asking?
Only what you approved when you created the board. The Approve card for a new board lists what each step may do without asking, and any other change stops the run. Steps run as the board’s owner, with the owner’s access.
What if the work is wrong?
Reject the card and say what should change. The agent proposes a fix to the board, shows you the before and after, and changes the board only when you approve it. A stuck card is reported to the board’s owner, with a Retry button.
