A developer has released Paca, a free, open-source project management tool built in Go that enables humans and AI agents to collaborate as equal team members. The tool serves as a streamlined alternative to Jira with customizable views and a WebAssembly-based plugin system.
Paca is designed specifically for teams that integrate AI agents into their workflow. The platform allows both humans and AI to plan sprints, assign tasks, and manage projects together. Written in Go for minimal resource overhead, it features custom fields, flexible views, and extensibility through WASM plugins.
The creator built Paca for internal use and commits to keeping it free indefinitely. The tool is actively maintained by the development team that uses it daily, ensuring ongoing support and feature development.
Paca addresses a gap in project management software by treating AI agents as full participants rather than auxiliary tools. Its lightweight architecture and customization options position it as a practical choice for development teams exploring human-AI collaboration without enterprise software overhead.
The project gained traction on Hacker News with 106 points and 42 comments, indicating interest from developers seeking alternatives to heavyweight project management platforms.
