Generative AI AI Business

The Problem As a developer, I often have "lightbulb moments" for projects but struggle with the initial overhead of breaking them down into actionable tasks. I wanted a way to turn a single sentence into a structured, prioritized Kanban board and a set of GitHub issues in seconds. The Solution: AI-Backlog-Manager I built an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that acts as a bridge between high-level project ideas and your development workspace.
