Hey everyone,
I wanted to share how we've been using AskRobots.com's own APIs combined with AI agents to accelerate our development. It's been a game-changer for productivity, and I think you'll find this approach useful for your own projects.
The Setup
We use AI Agentic Coding, and give it access to:
- Task API for project management
- File API for document handling
- Direct Django management commands
- Git integration for version control
Our Workflow
1. Task Management: Every feature starts as a task in AskRobots
python manage.py task_api create -t "Feature title" -i "Requirements"
2. AI Development: Agent reads the task, implements the solution, and tests it
3. Progress Tracking: The AI adds comments and updates task status
python manage.py task_api comment TASK_ID -c "Implementation notes"
python manage.py task_api complete TASK_ID -n "Completion summary"
Real Examples from Today
- Fixed UI contrast issues across 20+ templates
- Created comprehensive design system documentation
- Built an AI project manager that gives audio updates
- Implemented file sorting improvements
All managed through the API with zero context switching!
Why This Works
- Single Source of Truth: Everything is tracked in AskRobots
- AI Context: The AI can see task history and make informed decisions
- Rapid Iteration: From idea to deployed code in minutes
- Self-Documenting: Comments and git commits create an audit trail
Getting Started
If you want to try this approach:
1. Get your API key from /userauth/api-keys/
2. Use the management commands (no token needed internally)
3. Let your AI agent help with the heavy lifting
We've completed over 100 tasks this way. The platform is literally building itself!
What are your experiences with AI-assisted development? Anyone else using APIs this way?
