Alakai User Guide
Alakai is an AI-powered internal tool that connects Slack, GitHub, and ClickUp to automate our software development workflow. It can generate structured implementation prompts, launch coding agents, answer questions from our ClickUp documentation, create tasks, and summarize team activity — all without leaving the tools we already use every day.

What Alakai can do
- Generate implementation prompts — describe a task in Slack and get back a structured prompt ready to open as a PR.
- Ship code changes — launch an implementation agent that reads the prompt, writes the code, and opens a PR in our repository.
- Automate from GitHub issues — open an issue and Alakai automatically creates the prompt PR; merge the prompt PR and Alakai automatically kicks off the implementation.
- Automate from ClickUp tasks — create a task in a connected ClickUp space and Alakai creates the prompt PR and comments the link back on the task.
- Answer questions from ClickUp docs — ask anything from Slack and Alakai searches our ClickUp space and replies with an answer and source links.
- Create ClickUp tasks from Slack — use
