Why Kanban for AI Agents?
Kanban is a tried-and-true methodology for managing work. We’ve adapted these concepts to meet the unique challenges of AI agent management.
If you've used tools like Trello, Jira, or ClickUp, you'll be familiar with how Kanban helps manage tasks.
Now, KaibanJS uses that same system to help you manage Multi-Agent AI systems in real-time.

Help Us Grow Stronger
Robust State Management
KaibanJS employs a Redux-inspired architecture, enabling a unified approach to manage the states of AI agents, tasks, and overall flow within your applications. This method ensures consistent state management across complex agent interactions, providing enhanced clarity and control.
import myAgentsTeam from './agenticTeam';
const KaibanJSComponent = () => {const useTeamStore = myAgentsTeam.useStore();
const {agents, workflowResult } = useTeamStore(state => ({agents: state.agents,workflowResult: state.workflowResult,}));
return (<div><button onClick={myAgentsTeam.start}>Start Team Workflow</button><p>Workflow Result: {workflowResult}</p><div><h2>🕵️♂️ Agents</h2>{agents.map(agent => (<p key={agent.id}>{agent.name} - {agent.role} - Status: ({agent.status})</p>))}</div></div>);};
export default KaibanJSComponent;
For a deeper dive into state management with KaibanJS, visit the documentation.
Join The Journey
Integrate with Your Preferred JavaScript Frameworks
Easily add AI capabilities to your NextJS, React, Vue, Angular, and Node.js projects.
import React from 'react';import myAgentsTeam from './agenticTeam';
const TaskStatusComponent = () => {const useTeamStore = myAgentsTeam.useStore();
const { tasks } = useTeamStore(state => ({tasks: state.tasks.map(task => ({id: task.id,description: task.description,status: task.status}))}));
return (<div><h1>Task Statuses</h1><ul>{tasks.map(task => (<li key={task.id}>{task.description}: Status- {task.status}</li>))}</ul></div>);};
export default TaskStatusComponent;
For a deeper dive visit the documentation.
Your Support Fuels Our Progress
Observability and Monitoring
Built into KaibanJS, the observability features enable you to track every state change with detailed stats and logs, ensuring full transparency and control. This functionality provides real-time insights into token usage, operational costs, and state changes, enhancing system reliability and enabling informed decision-making through comprehensive data visibility.
const useStore = myAgentsTeam.useStore();
useStore.subscribe(state => state.workflowLogs, (newLogs, previousLogs) => {if (newLogs.length > previousLogs.length) {const { task, agent, metadata } = newLogs[newLogs.length - 1];if (newLogs} = newLogs[newLogs.length - 1].logType === 'TaskStatusUpdate') {switch (task.status) {case TASK_STATUS_enum.DONE:console.log('Task Completed',{taskDescription: task.description,agentName: agent.name,agentModel: agent.llmConfig.modelduration: metadata.duration,llmUsageStats: metadata.llmUsageStats,costDetails: metadata.costDetails,});break;case TASK_STATUS_enum.DOING:case TASK_STATUS_enum.BLOCKED:case TASK_STATUS_enum.REVISE:case TASK_STATUS_enum.TODO:console.log('Task Status Update',{taskDescription: task.description,taskStatus: task.status,agentName: agent.name});break;default:console.warn('Encountered an unexpected task status:', task.status);break;}}}});
