Paca: Where Humans and AI Work Together Seamlessly

A developer has created Paca, a free and open-source alternative to Jira designed specifically for environments where humans and AI agents collaborate on tasks. Written in Go with a modern, clean interface, Paca aims to provide a lightweight yet powerful project management solution.

Paca’s key feature is its ability to treat both human team members and AI agents as equal contributors within the workflow. Users can assign tasks to either type of teammate, track progress, and manage sprints in a unified system. The platform offers full customization options with custom views, fields, and a plugin architecture that uses WebAssembly (WASM).

The developer built Paca out of personal need while working on their own team’s development processes. They report using it daily for managing projects and are committed to maintaining it as a completely free resource. Early adopters have praised its clean design, ease of use, and the novel approach to incorporating AI into project workflows.

Paca is available now with no cost or registration required. The source code is open on GitHub allowing users to extend functionality through custom plugins.
