Frostbyte Agent

Ask about your project or have it make changes, from inside Frostbyte.

Answers use your real tasks and releases, with links you can open.

The Frostbyte Agent is an AI assistant built into every project. It reads your tasks, releases, areas, signals and product context, answers questions about them, and makes changes when you ask.

When to use it. Use the Agent for planning in Frostbyte: a quick catch-up, a second opinion on a release, or a batch of edits. It can't see or change your code. For that, connect your own agent.

Ask a question

Open Agent at the bottom right of any project page, or press ⌘J (Ctrl J on Windows and Linux), and type a question. Each answer is grounded in the project, so it names real tasks and links to them.

A few to try in RollCall: "Which 1.1.0 tasks have no assignee?", "Add a task to Punishments & Streaks for haptics when the streak flame grows", or "Move Friends' groups discovery feed to 1.1.0".

Start from a suggested action

Before you type, the panel lists up to three things in the project that need a decision, most pressing first. Select one and the Agent starts on it.

Each row names something real in the project and what the Agent will do about it.
Suggested action Shows when
Urgent bugs open A critical or high-priority bug is open
A task is blocked An open task has a blocker
A task has stalled A task has been in progress for 14 days without moving
The active release It's ready to ship, nearly there, past its target date, behind pace or large for an MVP
Signals waiting for review New signals haven't been reviewed
Next up What's Next has a task for you
No description An area, or a release that hasn't shipped, has no description
Catch up on the project The project has tasks

The row about the page you're on leads: signals on User Signals, the release on Releases, and missing descriptions on Areas. On Releases there's always a release row, a health check when nothing is wrong with it.

Ask for a change

Say what you want changed and the Agent does it, then tells you what it changed. Creating and editing tasks, moving them between releases, managing areas and releases, updating product context (owner only), capturing signals and linking a pull request, issue or commit from your connected GitHub repository all apply straight away, and show up on the board for everyone.

It only changes what you asked for in that conversation. If a request is ambiguous, it asks one question first.

Approve bigger changes

Some changes wait for you. The Agent shows a card with Approve and Reject for:

  • deleting a task, subtask, area, release or signal
  • linking a signal to a task, or unlinking it
  • marking a signal reviewed, or dismissing it
Nothing changes until you choose Approve.

Reject leaves everything as it was. If you wait too long the card expires; ask again and the Agent proposes it afresh.

Start from elsewhere in the app

Some buttons open the Agent with a prompt already written. Read it, edit it if you like, and send it:

  • Break into smaller tasks in a task's ⋯ menu asks for a few smaller steps, shown to you before anything is added.
  • Polish with Agent on Product tidies the four product answers and tells you what it changed.
  • Write description in an area's or release's ⋯ menu sends its prompt straight away: the Agent writes the area's or release's description, saves it and shows you what it wrote.
  • While the project has no active release, product description or areas, What's Next on the dashboard offers Draft with agent for each. Choose Do it myself to skip it. For a release, the Agent proposes a name, a goal and a few starter tasks, says what could wait for the next release, and creates them once you say yes.

Screenshots and files

The Agent can look at images, text files and CSVs attached to tasks and signals, so you can ask "What does the screenshot on this signal show?". It reads up to four images per message, and the first 100 KB of a text file. It can't read PDFs.

Chat history

Closing the panel keeps the conversation, so reopening it picks up where you left off. Select New chat, the pencil at the top of the panel, to start a fresh one.

Select the clock beside it to reopen a recent conversation. History is kept in this browser for each project, up to 30 conversations. It doesn't follow you to another device, and clearing your browser data removes it.

Things to note

  • Every reply uses AI credits, including answers to questions, about 1 on average. They come from the project owner's monthly pool. See AI overview.
  • It's on every plan. On Free the pool is 15 credits a month, enough for several conversations.
  • It makes up to six changes per message, or two when you start from a suggested action. For bigger clean-ups, ask in a few steps.
  • It can't touch your code. The Agent works on your Frostbyte project only.
