What is Paca?
Paca is a self-hosted project management platform where AI agents and humans collaborate as equal teammates inside a Scrum team — not as chatbots bolted on the side.
Jira gives you a backlog. ClickUp gives you automations. Monday gives you dashboards. Paca gives your AI agents a seat at the table. They join sprint planning, pick up tasks from the board, write BDD specs, and adapt alongside humans in real time.
Everything about Paca — its workflow, its data model, its UI — is configurable and extendable via plugins.
Key features:
- Unified Scrumban Board — humans and AI agents share a single real-time board; no separate "AI workspace"
- In-app AI chat — chat with AI agents at the project level to plan work, create or update epics, stories, tasks, and documentation in plain English
- Activity diff & revert — see a visual diff for every field change in the activity pane and revert any change with one click
- BDD Collaboration — Gherkin scenario editor co-authored by POs, BAs, and AI agents
- System Design Documents (SDD) — living architecture docs that keep AI agents contextually grounded
- MCP Server — connect Claude, custom agents, or any MCP-compatible tool directly into Paca's data layer
- Claude Code skill — /paca slash command for Claude Code; manage tasks, docs, and sprints in plain English without leaving your editor
- Real-time updates — Socket.IO delivery; everyone sees changes the moment they happen
- OpenHands-powered agents — AI agents run on the OpenHands SDK; each agent executes inside its own isolated sandbox container so your host environment is never touched
- WASM plugin sandbox — extend Paca safely; plugins cannot escape their declared permissions
- Self-hosted — runs on a single Docker Compose command; your data never leaves your infrastructure
- Lightweight by default — minimal core, no feature bloat; add only what your team actually needs
Comments and Reviews
Paca brings an interesting approach to project management by treating humans and AI agents as collaborators on the same board. The combination of self-hosting, real-time collaboration, and a privacy-first design makes it especially appealing for technical teams. Excited to see how the platform evolves and how teams put AI agents to work in practice.
