A workspace-first Kanban-driven multi-agent platform for AI software delivery, with strict lane contracts and evidence gates.
Core Features
- Visual Kanban board with lane-specific specialists (Backlog Refiner, Todo Orchestrator, Dev Crafter, Review Guard, Done Reporter)
- Card artifacts grow as work moves: YAML story → execution plan → code changes → review verdict → completion summary
- Built-in review gate with Harness Monitor, Entrix Fitness, and Gate Specialist for multi-layered verification
- Dual-backend architecture: Next.js for web, Tauri + Axum for desktop, sharing the same API contract
- Git integration: manage local repos, worktrees, file search, commits, and import GitHub repositories as virtual workspaces
What It Can't Do
- •1) Desktop mode requires Rust toolchain (install via rustup). 2) Dependencies: Node.js 16+ for web, npm/yarn. 3) External LLM API (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) needed for agent functionality. 4) Self-hosted only; no managed cloud version yet. 5) Customizing lane prompts requires YAML knowledge.
Use Cases
- Teams wanting to orchestrate multiple AI agents for production-grade feature delivery with clear accountability and audit trail
- Developers experimenting with multi-agent coordination patterns and needing a reproducible, inspectable platform
Detailed Introduction
Routa is an open-source, workspace-first platform for coordinating multiple AI agents in software development. Unlike traditional chat-based AI tools that mix planning, coding, and review into a single thread, Routa uses a visual Kanban board with lane-specific specialists (Backlog Refiner, Todo Orchestrator, Dev Crafter, Review Guard, etc.) to enforce clear handoffs and evidence-based gates. It supports both web (Next.js) and desktop (Tauri) modes, integrates with GitHub repositories, and provides MCP/ACP/A2A protocols for extensibility. Compared to CrewAI or AutoGPT, Routa's key advantages are its explicit lane contracts (each card grows stricter as it moves) and a dual-backend architecture that keeps state durable and inspectable. It is ideal for teams that want to scale AI agent collaboration without losing visibility or control.
