Automaker
Automaker is an autonomous AI development studio that helps you build software faster using AI-powered agents. It provides a visual Kanban board interface to manage features, automatically assigns AI agents to implement them, and tracks progress through an intuitive workflow from backlog to verified completion.
[!CAUTION]
Security Disclaimer
This software uses AI-powered tooling that has access to your operating system and can read, modify, and delete files. Use at your own risk.
We have reviewed this codebase for security vulnerabilities, but you assume all risk when running this software. You should review the code yourself before running it.
We do not recommend running Automaker directly on your local computer due to the risk of AI agents having access to your entire file system. Please sandbox this application using Docker or a virtual machine.
Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- npm
