AIVA for Developers
Ship withoutlosing the thread.
Issues, PRs, Slack threads, local files, and the release that’s due Friday — context lives everywhere. AIVA pulls it together: tracking assigned work, summarizing reviews, watching notifications, and keeping your release prep on rails.
What AIVA does for you
Context, gathered. Shipping, unblocked.
Track your GitHub work
Assigned issues become tasks, PRs waiting on your review get summarized, and AIVA can tell you exactly what’s blocking a merge.
Stay on top of Slack
AIVA reads the channels and threads you care about, catches the @-mentions, and drafts replies with full thread context.
Work with local files
AIVA keeps drafts, snippets, exports, and research in its on-device file cabinet, linked to the task they belong to.
Run release prep
Changelogs, checklists, the “did we update the docs?” loop — AIVA tracks the steps and reminds you before the cutoff.
Why it matters
What changes when AIVA has your back.
Context, gathered for you
Assigned issues become tasks, PRs waiting on your review get summarized, and AIVA can tell you exactly what’s blocking a merge — across GitHub, Slack, and your local files.
- Review queue summarized with what’s failing

- Slack threads caught up, @-mentions flagged
Working
- Scanned inbox & calendar

Release prep on rails
Turn your release checklist into a recurring loop. AIVA tracks the steps — docs, changelog, sign-offs — and surfaces them before the cutoff so nothing blocks the ship.
- Checklist resurfaced on schedule
- Changelog and sign-offs tracked
- Fewer last-minute fire drills
Loop
Every weekday · 8:00 AM
Morning brief — next run in 14h
Safe by default
Read-only work happens silently, but anything that changes the world — creating issues, posting, editing files — asks first. Shell and destructive git actions always prompt; there’s no silent “allow always”.
- Reads and summaries run silently
- Writes and posts ask first
- Destructive commands always confirm
Approval needed

What it stays on top of
Nothing slips.
Issues & PRs
Assigned work tracked; reviews summarized.
Notifications
GitHub alerts that matter, surfaced.
Slack threads
Caught up, with @-mentions flagged.
Local files
Snippets and drafts, organized.
Release prep
Checklist and changelog, on schedule.
Permission model
You stay in control of every consequential action.
Read-only work happens silently. Anything that changes the world waits for your approval — and destructive actions always ask prominently.
Common workflows
A day with AIVA.
Review queue brief
A loop summarizing PRs awaiting your review — what changed, what’s failing, what’s blocking — so review time isn’t archaeology.
Assigned-work radar
New issues assigned to you become tracked tasks with a heads-up, so nothing rots in your notifications.
Release runway
AIVA keeps the release checklist and reminds you of each step before the cutoff — docs, changelog, sign-offs.
Without your approval, AIVA won’t
No surprises.
These never happen on their own. AIVA drafts and asks; you decide.
- Create issues or post to Slack
- Edit files in coding mode
- Run shell commands or destructive git operations (always asks prominently)
Local-first notes
Your data, on your machine.
AIVA runs locally on 127.0.0.1; in Local mode your code, files, and keys stay on your Mac.
GitHub and Slack access is OAuth-based, encrypted locally, and revocable any time.
Shell and destructive git actions always ask first — there’s no silent “allow always”.
Works across your apps
The tools that power this.
Connected app
AIVA for GitHub
AIVA reads your issues, pull requests, and notifications, turns assigned work into tracked tasks, and files new issues on request — creating only after you approve.
Built-in app
AIVA for Local Files
AIVA keeps its own file cabinet on your Mac — drafts, exports, research reports, received attachments, generated artifacts — so the work it produces is organized and findable instead of lost in chat.
Connected app
AIVA for Slack
AIVA reads the channels you point it at, summarizes what you missed with full thread context, and posts on your behalf — but only after you approve the exact message.
Built-in app
AIVA for Loops
Loops are AIVA’s recurring schedules — morning briefs, weekly wrap-ups, periodic checks. Describe them in plain language; AIVA handles the cron, the timezone, and what to do when your Mac was asleep.
Built-in app
AIVA for Calendar
Beyond your Google Calendar, AIVA keeps its own event timeline — the things it’s tracking on your behalf — with categories, statuses, notifications, and links to the contacts and tasks each event belongs to.
