AI Agent Solutions for Shortcut

Shortcut’s project management platform empowers software teams to track sprints, plan features, and manage development workflows. But what if you could bring Shortcut’s superpowers directly into your team chat—where conversations and decisions already happen? With Runbear, teams use a smart AI agent inside Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Discord to automate project reports, action items, and insights based on real Shortcut data. Discover how Shortcut integration with Runbear’s AI platform accelerates software teams and turns chat into your new productivity hub.

About Shortcut

Shortcut is a project management platform built for software development teams. It features robust tools for tracking tasks, managing sprints, planning product roadmaps, and aligning development priorities with business goals. With customizable workflows, visual planning boards, and deep integrations (GitHub, Slack, Figma, and more), Shortcut is trusted by engineering teams that demand agility and clarity in their projects. Its intuitive interface and strong reporting make it a go-to solution for teams seeking a balance between structure and speed, with options suitable for both startups and enterprises. With the addition of Korey.ai, Shortcut now offers built-in AI assistance—but integrating with Runbear unlocks full chat-based AI agent automation across broader team workflows.

Shortcut appeals to companies that want a flexible, collaborative, and developer-friendly alternative to legacy project management tools. It’s adopted by software companies, product teams, and agencies striving for fast iteration and seamless delivery.

Use Cases in Practice

Runbear-equipped AI agents seamlessly weave Shortcut into your daily team communication, automating complex workflow steps and keeping every member informed. Let’s take a deeper look at how these four use cases transform classic product development routines:

Automate Sprint Summaries in Slack: Instead of chasing down status in Shortcut, schedule daily or weekly sprint updates—the AI agent compiles progress, highlights blockers, and delivers clear recaps right into your chat. For example, every Monday morning, the team receives a summary of completed stories, open bugs, and what’s at risk. This makes standups and planning effortless, much like the approach outlined in our AI-Powered Executive Dashboard use case.

Natural Language Task Management: Gone are the days of opening Shortcut to create or update stories. Team members simply message the AI agent—“Create a story for frontend login error”—and it handles the rest in real time. This is similar to how teams can create Jira tickets in Slack with Runbear, streamlining task intake without context-switching.

Instantly Surface Shortcut Project Insights: Need to know which tasks are overdue or how many stories your team completed last sprint? Just ask in chat. The AI agent pulls the latest Shortcut data and summarizes it instantly—no reports to run, no dashboards to check, just rapid answers for agile decisions. Teams that already query Excel reports in Slack will love this Shortcut workflow.

Generate Visual Reports from Shortcut Data: Whether you need a burndown chart or a breakdown of tasks by status, the AI agent generates clear visuals right in Slack. These reports can be sent on-demand or scheduled, boosting transparency and letting everyone see team health at a glance, without ever leaving chat.

Together, these use cases help teams reclaim valuable hours, minimize administrative drag, and keep all stakeholders deeply aligned with project goals.

Shortcut vs Shortcut + AI Agent: Key Differences

Integrating Runbear with Shortcut upgrades team productivity by moving from manual, UI-based work to conversational, AI-powered collaboration inside your chat tool. Instead of hunting through Shortcut dashboards or piecing together updates, teams can ask questions, trigger actions, and see visual reports—all where work happens. AI agents eliminate tedious processes and help teams make faster, more informed decisions.

Implementation Considerations

When integrating Runbear with Shortcut, teams should plan for a few practical considerations to unlock maximum benefit. First, setup is straightforward—connecting Shortcut to an AI agent only takes minutes, but best results come from training team members to use natural language commands and establishing clear expectations for agent-driven updates. Consider creating usage guidelines and templates for common tasks, so everyone can leverage the AI agent confidently. Evaluate data permissions and ensure access controls are in place, as the AI agent may access sensitive Shortcut project data. Review existing reporting workflows—since much of the manual work (status updates, task hand-offs) will now happen in chat, teams should prepare for change management, updating habits and possibly adjusting daily routines. Budget for potential upgrades if your team needs advanced Shortcut features. Lastly, maintain consistent feedback loops (perhaps using AI-driven retrospectives) to optimize integration value over time.
