BatonBot: an open-source Kanban board for running multiple AI coding agents
BatonBot is a local-first, open-source Kanban board built for managing multiple at once. Each card on the board gets its own agent session, working directory, logs, and history.
It also supports pipelines, where several agents work through a task one after another in sequence. The tool grew out of the creator's habit of vibe coding with , which respond more slowly than commercial ; rather than waiting around for each response, they queued up prompts to run automatically while stepping away.
That idea evolved into a broader system: BatonBot can connect to external tools like Jira to receive and work on tasks like a coworker, route work across different agents, and keep a clear record of what each agent changed, tested, or failed to complete. It supports both and frontier commercial models.
