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 AI collaboration directly into project management with a clean, privacy-focused approach. The combination of Scrum boards, AI agents, and self-hosting makes it especially appealing for technical teams that want more control over their workflows. It’s a promising open-source solution with a strong feature set.
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.
