Short answer

How can I use AI to manage my Craft.io backlog?

You can tell your agent to create new features, pull up existing items, or list everything in your workspace. This lets you populate your backlog without leaving your chat window. You'll see how the specific tool capabilities map to these actions below.

Backlog outcomes

Where your updates land.

Every command you give your agent results in a specific change or data pull within Craft.io.

NEW ITEM

Direct feature creation

Your AI writes new stories or features into your workspace. You get a populated backlog without manual typing.

DATA PULL

Instant backlog visibility

The agent pulls a list of your current items. You can see what's already planned without opening the Craft.io app.

DETAIL VIEW

Deep dive into stories

Your AI fetches the specific details of a single item. This helps you verify requirements or status before making changes.

HUMAN REVIEW

Final logic check

The AI handles the data entry, but you decide if the generated stories actually meet your product goals.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI acts as a bridge between your conversation and your Craft.io workspace.

  1. Scan the backlog

    The agent looks at what you already have planned to understand the current context.

    list_items

  2. Fetch specific details

    If you ask about a specific feature, the agent pulls its full data profile.

    get_item

  3. Draft new work

    The agent takes your natural language description and turns it into a formal item.

    create_item

  4. Confirm the entry

    The agent reports back that the item was successfully added to your workspace.

    create_item
