Task management for your AI agents
Write plain markdown. Get a kanban board. Let AI agents manage it alongside you.
Write markdown. See structure.
Every heading becomes a column. Every subheading becomes a card. Metadata like @assignee, #label, and priority:high become visual badges.
The format AI was trained on.
Most tools force AI to work through clunky APIs and rigid schemas. AutoMD stores everything as plain markdown — the one format every language model already understands deeply.
AI reads it natively
Every LLM is trained on markdown. It's the format AI understands best — no adapters, no translation layers, no lossy conversions. Your agents read and write tasks in their native tongue.
It's just files
No proprietary database. No vendor lock-in. Your tasks are .md files in a folder. Move them, back them up, grep them, version control them. They're yours forever.
Human and machine readable
Markdown is the rare format that's equally comfortable for humans and AI. You read it in your editor. Agents parse it in their context window. Same file, no impedance mismatch.
No per-seat licensing
Running 5 AI agents in Jira or Linear? That's 5 seats you're paying for. Here, agents just read and write markdown files — no seats, no API limits, no vendor tax. Sync everything through git.
Three views. One source of truth.
Switch between editor, checklist, and kanban. They all read and write the same .md file. No sync issues. No database migrations. Just text.
Your AI teammates show up to standup.
Connect Claude, GPT, or any MCP-compatible agent. They read your board, understand context, and take action — moving cards, setting priorities, adding estimates. 20+ MCP tools for full board control.
