A colleague with a working life of its own.
The goal is for Jigward to notice what needs attention and take responsibility for it, carrying the team’s product knowledge into the next decision.
These are directions, not a release schedule. Planned capabilities have no announced delivery dates.
The coworker at a glance.
Planned directions are not a delivery sequence or a statement that each is in development.
Working today
- Assigned Tasks
Hand over work and receive a report or draft change.
- Scheduled Duties
Give a standing instruction that brings Jigward back.
- Requested browser checks
Investigate behavior and keep the recording and results.
- Project knowledge
Build on what earlier work established about the product.
Planned directions
- Independent initiative
Notice work, decide to run QA and start the investigation.
- Participation in team life
Follow connected conversations and join invited calls.
- Model choice
Connect customer-selected providers and validated model endpoints.
- Your AWS environment
Work from customer-owned AWS infrastructure with private systems.
Working today
Jigward carries out assigned Tasks, answers in connected conversations, remembers what earlier work established, and returns through scheduled Duties. A Duty can give a Task when its standing instruction needs engineering work. Code changes return as draft pull requests.
Building toward independent initiative
The next kind of autonomy is deciding that work needs doing, without waiting for a fresh assignment. Jigward is intended to notice an uncovered responsibility, choose a useful check, start an investigation and carry it through.
For example, the goal is for Jigward to decide a changed feature needs a QA pass, find a duplicate notification in the browser, create a Task, and prepare a fix with test evidence. Browser checks and fixes are possible today; deciding to start this chain independently is the future part.
Planned participation in team life
Longer term, Jigward is intended to follow conversations in the places the organization connects, contribute useful context without a direct mention, and join calls it is invited to. The aim is to retain what the team settles and bring it to later work.
Open-ended participation beyond direct requests and invited calls are not available today. This direction does not mean silently listening to every conversation or permanently retaining everything people say.
Planned flexibility for your team
- More project setups
- Jigward already works with repositories in any language. Reading schemas, API contracts and dependency trees as deeply as it does for JVM projects is a direction for other stacks.
- Model choice
- Customer-selected model providers are planned. Ollama and endpoints serving open-source models still need implementation and validation.
- Your AWS environment
- Deployment into customer-owned AWS infrastructure and access to private systems are planned. Self-hosting is not offered today.
- Execution boundaries
- Restricted workspace networking and a dependency mirror are planned. Today, workspaces can reach the public internet.
Autonomy within the organization’s reach
The direction is initiative through the systems the organization connects, with visible actions, reasons and results. It is not a requirement to approve every ordinary step. Today, Jigward asks where it cannot responsibly continue, can be stopped, and leaves merging a code change to a person.
Tell us which responsibility you would want a colleague to take on first. That is more useful to the next pilot than a long wishlist of features.
