Paca – Lightweight Jira alternative for human-AI collaboration
SMRTR summary
Paca is a free, open-source project management tool designed to treat AI agents as real teammates rather than add-on chatbots. Unlike Jira or ClickUp, which cost $8–$20+ per seat monthly, Paca lets AI agents join sprint planning, pick up tasks, and collaborate on documentation alongside humans on a shared board. It's self-hosted, fully customizable through plugins, and connects to AI tools like Claude through a built-in MCP server.
