Key highlights of the appAutomatically build features and fix issues directly from Jira tickets

Turn tickets directly into working code

Assign a ticket to Builder.io, just like assigning it to an engineer. The agent reads the description, creates a branch, writes code, and delivers a working solution.

Works asynchronously in the background

Once assigned, the agent handles everything behind the scenes. You can continue working while it builds, tests, and updates progress directly in the Jira ticket.

Save engineering time and accelerate delivery

Skip repetitive setup steps like creating branches, copying context, and writing boilerplate. Engineers spend less time on grunt work and more time on high-impact problems that help move features into production faster.

More details

Builder.io’s Background Agent for Jira adds an AI-powered development workflow directly into your tickets. Instead of manually setting up branches or assigning engineers for every fix or feature, you simply assign the ticket to the agent. It works autonomously in the background and delivers results back into Jira.

When a ticket is assigned:

  • The agent reads the ticket description and comments for context
  • It asks which project or repo to use
  • A branch is automatically created
  • Code changes are generated, tested, and refined
  • Status updates appear in the ticket as the work progresses
  • When complete, the agent provides a detailed summary and a link to review the branch and open a PR

You can request follow-up changes by commenting on the ticket (e.g. “@Agent make the button blue”) which will trigger the agent to continue working on the same branch.

This creates a faster, more seamless way to move from ticket to production.

Summary
Turn Jira tickets into working code with AI background agents
Details

Version 1.0.0 introduces Builder.io’s Background Agent for Jira, the first release of autonomous AI development directly in your workflow.

What's included:

  • Ticket-to-code automation - Assign a ticket to the Background Agent like you'd assign a developer. The agent reads the description, creates a branch, writes code, and delivers a solution.
  • Asynchronous background processing - Work happens autonomously while your team focuses elsewhere. The agent handles branch creation, coding, and testing without blocking anyone.
  • In-ticket progress tracking - Status updates, and change summaries appear directly in Jira comments.
  • Follow-up via comments - Request changes by commenting on the ticket. The agent continues work on the same branch.

How it works:

  1. Assign ticket to Background Agent
  2. Agent creates branch, writes code and adds update in ticket comments
  3. Review completed work and create PR

This release lets devs focus on high-impact work while routine tickets get handled automatically.
