In brief: In everyday developer work, AI agents are increasingly coordinating Jira, Git, Slack and CI/CD instead of just writing code.
AI agents are increasingly taking on not just the writing of code, but also coordinating tools such as Jira, Git, Slack and CI/CD pipelines. This shifts the use of AI in the development process from pure code generation toward controlling entire workflows.
According to an advisory article by Klaus Manhart on Golem.de, AI agents in software development are no longer limited to generating source code. They actively engage with the tools already used in everyday development work: ticketing systems such as Jira, version control systems such as Git, communication platforms such as Slack, and CI/CD pipelines for build and deployment. The article describes how these agents thereby intervene in a coordinating capacity across multiple stages of the development process, rather than merely providing support at a single point such as code creation.
For engineering teams, this development means a shift in the role of AI tools: instead of a pure autocomplete or code-generation assistant, the agent operates at interfaces that previously required human coordination – such as creating and updating tickets, triggering commits or pull requests, notifying team members via Slack, or initiating and monitoring CI/CD runs. This changes not only how tools are used, but potentially also the distribution of responsibility between humans and agents across the entire development process.
The original article is designed as a practice-oriented guide and is part of Golem’s series “Die Agenten kommen, KI” (“The agents are coming, AI”). It is aimed at developers who want to understand where in the everyday toolchain – Jira, Git, Slack, CI/CD – AI agents are already making inroads and how established workflows are changing as a result.
