## In short

KanBots turns a local kanban board into a control surface for AI coding agents: each card is a Claude Code or Codex agent running in its own git worktree, with live updates, an autopilot mode, and per-agent cost tracking.

## What it is

KanBots is an open-source desktop app for macOS, Linux, and Windows that turns a kanban board into a dispatcher for AI coding agents. You point it at a folder and each card on the board becomes a task handled by a Claude Code or Codex CLI agent.

## How it works

Each agent runs in its own git worktree so parallel tasks don't collide on the same files, and the board updates live as work progresses. An autopilot mode uses personas to split work automatically, decision prompts pause a run to ask the user for input, and cost analytics track spend per agent.

## Why it matters

Coordinating several coding agents at once is fiddly. KanBots gives a single view to dispatch, watch, and review them while git worktrees keep each agent's changes isolated until you merge.

## Who it's for

developers running multiple coding agents
