1. Defining the Blueprint: Describe What to Build

As an architect, your first task is to envision the software solution. In the past, this involved detailed documentation, diagrams, and countless meetings. Now, with AI assistance, you can succinctly describe what needs to be built. Whether it’s a microservice, a complex algorithm, or an entire application, your instructions set the stage for the crew.

2. Collaborative Design: Discuss the Best Way to Build It Within Your Code

Gone are the days of isolated architects working in silos. AI facilitates collaborative discussions within your team. Sophia, the AI architect, analyzes existing codebases, identifies patterns, and proposes efficient design choices. She engages in real-time conversations with you, suggesting best practices, architectural patterns, and optimization techniques. Together, you refine the blueprint, ensuring it aligns with your project’s goals.

3. Ticket Creation: Streamlining Communication with Trello

Creating tickets is a crucial step in project management. Instead of manual ticket creation, Sophia generates detailed Trello cards. Each card contains essential information: requirements, acceptance criteria, deadlines, and dependencies. These cards serve as the crew’s roadmap. Alex, the software engineer, receives his tasks directly from Trello, eliminating ambiguity.

4. Agents at Work: Building Code and Creating Pull Requests

Meet the crew: Alex, Charlie, and their AI counterparts. Alex dives into coding, guided by Sophia’s architectural insights. Charlie, the tech lead (and human reviewer), oversees the process. Meanwhile, AI agents analyze code quality, adherence to standards, and potential issues. They automatically create pull requests (PRs) with descriptive titles and context. The crew collaborates seamlessly, with AI ensuring consistency and adherence to architectural guidelines.

5. Human Approval: Merging PRs with Confidence

Here’s the beauty of the system: no PR is merged without your approval. You, the architect, review the code changes. Sophia provides a summary of architectural decisions, highlighting any deviations. Charlie, the human reviewer, adds his expertise. Together, you ensure that no bugs or incorrect code slip through. The crew respects your authority, and the final merge is a well-informed decision.
