AutoStack: The AI-Powered Software Team That Never Sleeps

Picture this: You describe a software project to an AI team. Within hours, they've planned it, coded it, tested it, documented it, and delivered it. No meetings. No status updates. No "I'll get back to you tomorrow." Just pure, autonomous development magic.

That's not science fiction. That's AutoStack.

For Kiroween, I built an autonomous multi-agent system that simulates an entire software development team.
One that works while you sleep, thinks while you eat, and delivers while you focus on other things.
This isn't just another AI coding tool - it's a glimpse into the future of software development.

Quick Project Snapshot

Category: Autonomous Software Development
Platform: Web API + Dashboard
Core Idea: Multi-agent system that autonomously plans, develops, tests, and documents software projects
Tech Stack: FastAPI, LangGraph, PostgreSQL, ChromaDB, Groq API, OpenRouter, Next.js
Agents: Project Manager, Developer, QA, Documentation

The Problem We're Solving

Before AutoStack, software development looked like this:

  • Project Manager: "We need to build X. How complex will it be?"
  • Developer: "Let me analyze the requirements..."
  • QA Engineer: "I'll test once you're done coding..."
  • Documentation Specialist: "I'll write docs when the feature is complete..."

The bottleneck? Humans. We need coffee breaks, sleep, and time to think. What if we could have a team that never stops working?

Enter AutoStack: The Autonomous Development Dream

AutoStack orchestrates four specialized AI agents that work together like a well-oiled machine:

  • Project Manager Agent: Analyzes requirements, creates project plans, and breaks down complex projects into manageable tasks.
  • Developer Agent: Implements features, creates repositories, writes code, and manages architecture.
  • QA Agent: Performs code testing, quality assurance, and bug detection.
  • Documentation Agent: Creates technical documentation and user guides.

These agents don't just work - they collaborate, communicate, and hand off work to each other seamlessly.

The Architecture That Makes It All Possible

Here's the fascinating part :- AutoStack doesn't just call APIs in sequence. It uses LangGraph for sophisticated workflow orchestration.

The workflow follows this pattern:

  1. Initialize → Create project and setup repository
  2. Plan → PM agent creates task breakdown
  3. Develop → Developer agents implement features
  4. Test → QA agents run comprehensive tests
  5. Document → Documentation agents create guides
  6. Review → Analyze results and decide next steps
  7. Finalize → Complete project and update status

Each phase has conditional logic - if tests fail, the system can retry or continue based on the severity. If documentation is missing, it auto-generates it. The system is resilient to partial failures.

Here's a Walkthrough


You land at the Landing page. From here navigate to the Dashboard


From Dashboard, we can change settings or look at existing projects, but moving to important part, we can also create a project.

After you create a project, the agents will do their magic!
You can check their status and how much they have achieved!

The code, tests and docs by agent are committed to a separate branch with pr created for the main branch.

And after PR creation, the agents alert you on Discord and Slack!

The Intelligence Behind the Magic

What makes AutoStack special isn't just automation, it's intelligence:

  • Context Awareness: Each agent has access to the conversation history, codebase, and project requirements. The Developer knows what the PM planned, the QA knows what the Developer built, and the Documentation agent knows what was actually implemented.
  • Memory System: Built on ChromaDB, agents remember decisions, code patterns, and architectural choices across projects. This means the system gets smarter with each project.
  • Adaptive Complexity: The system adjusts its approach based on project complexity. Simple projects get minimal documentation, complex projects get comprehensive analysis.
  • Error Recovery: If a task fails, the system can retry with different parameters or continue with the next task.

Real-World Use Cases

  • Startup MVPs: Rapidly prototype and validate ideas without building a dev team
  • Internal Tools: Automate the creation of admin panels, dashboards, and CRUD apps
  • API Development: Generate production-ready APIs from specifications
  • Learning Projects: Create educational projects for developers to study
  • Prototype Validation: Quickly test business ideas with working software

The Future of Autonomous Development

AutoStack isn't just a tool - it's a glimpse into the future where:

  • Project managers focus on business requirements, not task assignments
  • Developers work on complex problems while AI handles routine coding
  • QA teams validate high-level architecture while AI handles unit tests
  • Documentation specialists focus on user experience while AI handles technical docs

The technology is here. The agents are ready. The only question is :- are you ready to have a software team that never sleeps?
