SideButton Portal is an AI agent orchestration platform for coding agents: roles, playbooks, monitoring, and integrations in one place. It is live now, and it plugs into the Jira and GitHub your team already uses.
A product lead runs the fleet
The fleet is a cross-functional development team of autonomous teammates that pick up tickets and carry them to completion on their own. The product lead owns the intent, the fleet owns the execution.
The intent comes first, before any code exists: pin down the problem, sketch the end state, hand the epic over. From there, every ticket runs the loop in the picture. Coding: an agent writes the change. PR Review: a second agent accepts it only when it holds up. QA Live: a third agent opens the product like a user and proves it works. Out comes a pull request that has been reviewed and tested, ready for the team to accept.
Running the fleet means reading flags, not code. Done is a claim, and the fleet checks it. Work that passes ships, and work that does not comes back as a question.
The loop keeps no office hours. It is still working after the office logs off and further along by morning. Supervision does not disappear, it moves up a level, from reading code to setting direction.
What the Portal adds
Compose your team. Software engineer, QA, PM, and senior review come built in, and you can add roles of your own. Junior agents do the work, a senior agent reviews it, and you approve last.
Connect your tools. Jira, GitHub, Slack, your cloud, your choice of model. The Portal fits into how your team already works rather than asking it to move.
Define the work once. Playbooks run whole jobs end to end. Bug fix, feature implementation, and hotfix are ready on day one, and you can build your own. Every step is recorded.
Watch everything live. See what any agent is doing right now, follow a job step by step, and know what each one costs.
The engine is open source
Inside every agent is the open-source AI agent MCP server that anyone can run on a laptop today. The Portal is the layer around it, the part that turns individual agent output into company output you can stand behind.
Start today
Everything above is a claim, and you already know the rule for claims: check them. Connect Jira and GitHub or Bitbucket, drop the first tickets in, and read what comes back. Pin down the problem, sketch the end state, hand the epic over.
Put AI coding agents on your team.
