The problem gitDontIgnore solves
AI-Powered Onchain Project Manager
An AI-powered onchain project manager that handles the software development flow—from idea to delivery—without traditional human coordination.
Workflow
1. Client Onboarding
As a client, you start by verifying your identity and explaining your project to an AI agent. The agent understands your needs and creates a GitHub repository, setting the stage for development.
2. Developer Bidding
It then opens the project for bidding, allowing developers to apply. Each developer's GitHub is analyzed by an AI agent, which scores their experience. Their proof is verified onchain and they are onboarded onto the project.
3. Developer Assignment
Once selected, the developer gets added as a collaborator and receives a dedicated branch to work on.
4. Development & Submission
After completing their module, the developer submits the module for review. The AI agent tests the feature in an AI-automated browser.
5. Review & Merge
- If everything works as expected, it releases funds to the developer, opens a pull request, and merges the work to the main branch.
- If not, it raises a GitHub issue and provides feedback.
Features
- AI agents handle project management, quality control, and fund distribution.
- All transactions and interactions are recorded onchain in the Base network.
- The goal is to make project execution smooth and efficient, powered by onchain AI agents and zk proofs.
Challenges I ran into
Core Technology
The project’s core is the Self onchain proof system, which uses zero-knowledge proofs for secure identity verification. This allows clients and developers to onboard privately without revealing sensitive data.
We also integrated GitHub verification onchain to assess and score developers based on their GitHub profiles, ensuring only qualified individuals are selected for the project.
Custom Plugins with Goat SDK
A key component of the project was the development of two custom plugins for Vercel and GitHub within the Goat SDK. These plugins enabled automation of:
- GitHub repository interactions
- Deployment workflows on Vercel
- Repository creation
- Code pushes
- Pull requests
These integrations bridged the AI agents with the development workflow seamlessly.
Onchain Infrastructure
We deployed the project’s smart contracts on the Base network, ensuring that all transactions and fund releases were:
- Secure
- Scalable
- Eco-friendly
Automated Testing & Fund Release
For module testing, we used the Anchor AI browser to automatically test code in a controlled AI environment before any fund release. This ensured that everything worked as expected prior to approving contributions.
Highlights
A notable achievement was the creation of custom plugins that enabled:
- Seamless service integration
- Fully automated testing
- Smart contract-based fund releases
- End-to-end AI-powered project management
