Introducing Korey: The AI Product Development Agent That Actually Gets Work Done
September 30, 2025 by Kurt Schrader
Every team has a version of this problem.
The meeting ends with a clear list of action items. By the next day, half of them are lost — buried in a thread, forgotten between context switches, or sitting in someone’s notes as an intention that never became a ticket. Meanwhile, the team is moving fast, shipping things, and trying to stay aligned across Slack, GitHub, and a project management tool that’s perpetually out of date.
The overhead of keeping everything in sync — the documentation, the status updates, the release notes, the “can someone write this up properly?” — consumes enormous amounts of time and attention that should be going into building.
Korey is built to change that.
What Korey does
Korey is an AI Product Development Agent. That means it doesn’t just answer questions — it takes action on your behalf, in the tools your team already uses.
The core capability: Korey turns unstructured information into structured, actionable work. Give it a Slack message, a screenshot, a voice note from a standup, or a rough idea typed in plain English — and Korey produces a properly formatted story with a clear description, acceptance criteria, and everything a developer needs to get started.
No blank-page problem. No formatting inconsistency. No follow-up questions asking for clarification.
What it knows
Korey connects to Shortcut and GitHub Issues to give it real context about your project. It’s not answering from training data — it’s reading your actual sprint, your actual team assignments, your actual history.
This means it can:
- Answer project questions accurately — “What’s blocking the API refactor?” gets a real answer, not a hallucination
- Generate release notes from what actually shipped — pulled from merged PRs, not reconstructed from memory
- Surface stalled work and blockers — before someone asks in standup
- Keep status current — without anyone manually updating tickets
Full transparency
One design principle that matters to us: Korey always shows its work.
When Korey creates a story, updates a ticket, or flags a blocker, it explains its reasoning. You can see exactly what context it used and why it made the decisions it made. And nothing gets committed without your review — you can accept, modify, or reject any output before it affects your project.
This matters because AI-assisted work should feel trustworthy, not like a black box making changes you can’t explain to your team.
Built for how teams actually work
Early teams using Korey report moving 40% faster while cutting hours of administrative overhead every week. The stories get written. The release notes get done. The context doesn’t get lost between tools.
That’s the goal — not to replace how your team works, but to take the friction out of the parts that slow it down.
Korey is live and available today. If your team is spending time on work about work, it’s worth seeing what changes when that overhead disappears.
