Arizona Tribune - Qoder Introduces Projects and Discussion to Help Teams Work Together with AI Agents

With Projects, teams can break engineering goals into Issues, assign priorities and statuses, and track progress on a board. Discussion bring teammates and agents together to clarify requirements, review technical approaches, and investigate defects. Qoder is also introducing Custom agents and Custom agent teams for work that calls for reusable specialist roles.

Keeping the work and its context together

A typical engineering task may begin in a meeting or group chat, then move into several people's agent sessions. Each person has to restate the agreed approach for their own agent. As the work develops, decisions, code changes, test results, and pull request links can end up scattered across those sessions.

With Projects, teams have a shared view of the work. An Issue can capture the goal, background, priority, status, and acceptance criteria for a task, whether the team is building a feature, fixing a defect, or updating a system. When a question needs broader input, team members can start a Discussion from the Issue, carrying its title and description into the conversation.

Bringing people and agents into the same discussion

In Discussion, teammates can add documents and other context, reply to specific points, and ask an agent to analyze material or compare options. For example, a developer can explain an implementation constraint, a tester can identify failure cases, and an agent can compare proposed approaches using the material provided.

Teams can mark agreed conclusions as key messages so agents can find the decisions that matter. After a discussion, they can record the chosen approach, open questions, and follow-up owners in the relevant Issue, then update its status as the work progresses. This gives product, engineering, and testing teams a common reference when they review results and decide what happens next.

Matching agents to the task

Custom agents let users save instructions, model settings, permissions, and tools for recurring work such as implementation planning or code review. For work requiring several specialties, Custom agent teams bring those agents together under a lead agent that coordinates the work and consolidates their contributions. People remain responsible for reviewing the results and making the final decisions.

The core idea: let discussion happen on the spot where the work happens. People and models share context, and discussion history and discussion assets accumulate on the task itself, so people no longer have to act as the agent's "courier." Together, these two features greatly improve the efficiency of human-agent collaboration.
