Automating Task Management: How Solstis is helping Simplify Project Coordination
The Challenge: Managing Chaos in One of GitHub’s Top Open-Source Projects
AllHands AI is one of the most active open-source communities in the AI space — and their flagship project, OpenHands, is currently the 55th most-starred repo (as of April’25) on GitHub.
With thousands of global contributors, most collaboration happens in Slack: long threads filled with ideas, bug reports, code snippets, screenshots, and links. But as the project grew, so did the operational overhead.
But turning these threads into actionable GitHub issues was a nightmare.
🌀 Important context was lost
📋 Issue creation was slow, repetitive, and manual
🧠 Maintainers had to trace back threads to gather missing details
For a community moving at open-source speed, the lack of automation was a major blocker — costing valuable time, slowing issue resolution, and leading to contributor fatigue.
The Solution: Workflow Automation That Starts in Slack
AllHands AI discovered Solstis as the perfect solution to bridge the gap between their fast-moving Slack conversations and structured task management in GitHub — with no engineering lift required.
A Zero-Code Automation Builder
From the Solstis UI, contributors can create automations like #create-issue using plain English — no scripting or complex configs:
🧠 Define logic in natural language
🔗 Connect tools like Slack, Github, Linear, and more in one click
📋 Customize naming conventions and behavior
✅ Go live in minutes — no developer required
How #create-issue Works Behind the Scenes
Once triggered, Solstis:
- Analyzes all Slack messages in the thread
- Determines whether it’s a bug or feature request
- Applies strict naming conventions for clean issue titles
- Creates the issue in the correct GitHub repo and infer any labels
- Preserves full context: code, links, screenshots, and replies
- Credits the triggering user and links back to the Slack thread within the issue
- Keeps everything in sync — no duplicate updates or manual copy-paste
What used to take 10+ minutes and multiple tabs now happens with a single Slack command.

Result: More Focused Contributors, Less Manual Work
For AllHands AI, Solstis didn’t just save time — it streamlined their entire contribution flow for OpenHands.
Slack conversation → GitHub issue → Pull Request creation — no context lost, no human handoffs required.
Once an issue is created through Solstis, their OpenHands agent automatically picks it up and kicks off the pull request workflow. What used to be a fragmented, manual process across tools is now a fully automated pipeline:
“Solstis saves our team 5–10 minutes every time someone creates an issue. But more importantly it allows you to not have to do a different task, which can break your concentration.”
- Graham Neubig (Co-Founder, AllHands AI)
Solstis didn’t just make project coordination easier — it became the connective tissue between conversation and execution, helping AllHands AI move faster without sacrificing clarity.
