Knecht Works features

  • Ticket-triggered workflows. Start a workflow from GitHub, Jira, Plane or Linear tickets and let Knecht boot the project automatically.
  • Isolated Docker sandbox. Each run executes in a real dev environment with database, allowing safe bug reproduction and fixes.
  • AI agent execution. An AI agent performs developer tasks such as migrations, updates, or bug fixes inside the sandbox.
  • Pull request with preview. After a run, Knecht creates a PR containing a live preview and links back to the originating ticket.
  • Reusable workflows across projects. Define a workflow once and run it on any number of connected repositories.
  • Agent history per issue. The AI retains context across multiple runs for the same ticket.
