Automation 1/30+: Put an AI agent inside Basecamp

Description and use

An AI agent automatically analyzes Basecamp cards, answers questions, flags missing details, and opens pull requests, speeding up development while keeping human control.

Problem

Teams often wait for humans to read Basecamp cards, ask clarifying questions, and translate them into actionable work, causing delays.

Outcome

The AI agent reduces manual effort by automatically summarizing Basecamp cards, answering questions, and opening pull requests, speeding up the workflow while keeping human control over final decisions.

Workflow

• Clone the repo and run ./setup.sh
• Select Basecamp integration and answer setup questions
• The AI monitors new cards on the board
• AI reads the card, analyzes it against the codebase, and posts a plain‑English summary
• Team members reply in comments; AI answers, flags missing info, and confirms scope
• When the card is moved to the build column, the AI opens a pull request
• Optional: enable handlers for to‑dos, messages, docs, files, check‑ins, and schedule

Evidence

A card lands on your board → the AI reads it against your codebase and posts a plain-English analysis

Move the card to your build column → it opens a pull request
