Autonomous board reviews

The PM agent can also work without being asked. This is off until you switch it on, and it is deliberately narrow.

Under Settings → PM agent → When it acts on its own:

  • Review the board on a schedule — the switch.
  • First review at — the hour of day it starts.
  • How often — the interval in hours, up to once a day.
  • Timezone — the project’s own timezone, so a review at 9am is 9am for the team, not for the server.

Each scheduled slot is claimed atomically, so a review runs at most once per slot no matter how many app instances are running.

The agent does not wander the board unaided. The server computes a digest first and hands it over:

  • tasks missing acceptance criteria,
  • tasks stuck in a column longer than they should be,
  • duplicate titles.

During an autonomous review the agent runs with change_status and create_task withheld. It can comment, and it can improve a task’s content — it cannot silently move your board or invent work.

Review tasks that land in “Needs human review” is the second trigger. A column can be marked to trigger a PM review, and tasks arriving there are queued for the agent to look at — so an agent-written change that needs a decision gets a first-pass summary before a person opens it.

Autonomous turns come out of the same turns per day budget as your chat. When the budget is gone, the agent stops until the next day — it does not queue up and spend tomorrow’s.
