Shortcut announced the release of Korey, an AI product manager that orchestrates the planning, tracking and coordination of software projects.

Korey integrates with existing project management tools, using the context of the project, workflow and work already in motion to help teams build faster and accelerate delivery.

The launch of Korey signals a shift in how product and engineering teams operate. Instead of spending hours in planning meetings or wrangling multiple tools, they can use natural language in Korey to create, modify and organize work all in one place.

Designed to act as a full-fledged member of the product team, Korey takes ideas and turns them into structured, build-ready plans in seconds. Korey writes and formats detailed specs with clear acceptance criteria, breaks work into actionable tasks, tracks dependencies and summarizes work status, all while learning a team’s preferences and adapting to its workflow.

“Korey is the next step in our mission to help teams build without the drag of unnecessary complexity and overhead,” said Kurt Schrader, co-founder and CEO of Shortcut. “The best tools disappear into the background, letting teams focus on what matters most. By making AI a natural part of the way work gets planned and delivered, Korey is redefining what is possible and helping fast-moving teams move even faster.”

Korey pulls context from projects, comments, GitHub activity and other connected tools to ensure plans are accurate, complete and immediately actionable.

Key Features:

- Instant specs and tasks: Users can go from idea to fully detailed spec in seconds, complete with descriptions, acceptance criteria, and a breakdown into tasks, so work is ready for execution right away

- Real-time status updates: Users can gain immediate visibility into project health with live insights on progress, blockers, and work in progress, all based on the context of their workspace.

- Sprint and workflow management: Users can modify work, set up sprints, move items across workflows and organize epics to keep projects moving smoothly

- Coordinated work assignment: Users can delegate work to engineers, designers, or even other AI agents, ensuring the right people are tackling the right tasks at the right time

- Personalized assistance: Users can have Korey learn their team’s format and preferences, delivering work that’s consistent and tailored to how they operate

Korey integrates with GitHub Issues and Shortcut today and plans to integrate with other project management tools.
