PROJECTLightweight AI-Assisted Project Management Tool (Jira Alternative)
RATIONALESupabase + Next.js on Vercel gives a micro-scale team zero DevOps overhead with built-in auth, real-time, and a managed Postgres database — critical when there's no technical team. OpenAI API handles AI features without building ML infrastructure. This stack is widely documented, easy to hand off, and keeps monthly infrastructure costs under $50 at micro scale.
TECH STACK
FrontendNext.js 14 (App Router) with Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
BackendNode.js with Express or Next.js API Routes
DatabasePostgreSQL (via Supabase) with Prisma ORM
AuthSupabase Auth (email/password + Google OAuth)
HostingVercel (frontend + API) + Supabase (DB + Auth)
ExtrasOpenAI API (GPT-4o) for AI features, Supabase Realtime for live updates, Resend for email notifications, Zapier/n8n for third-party integrations
MVP FEATURES
✓User authentication (email/password + Google SSO) with role-based access (Admin, Member, Viewer)
✓Admin dashboard: user management, workspace settings, role assignment
✓Project creation and management (create, edit, archive projects)
✓Issue/task board with Kanban view (To Do, In Progress, Done columns)
✓Task detail view: title, description, assignee, priority, due date, status
✓Basic sprint or backlog list view
✓AI-powered task description generator (auto-suggest task details from a short prompt)
✓AI smart task prioritization suggestion based on due dates and labels
✓Basic integrations: Slack notification webhook on task status change
✓Email notifications for task assignments and due date reminders
✓Activity log per task (who changed what and when)

⚠ RISK FLAGS
!Scope creep risk is HIGH: 'like Jira' is an enormous product — without strict MVP discipline, this will balloon in time and cost. A clear feature freeze agreement before development starts is essential.
!No technical team: with zero in-house developers, all institutional knowledge lives with the agency or freelancer. Plan for a handoff/documentation sprint and budget for ongoing maintenance separately.
!Seed budget may be tight: at the lower end of seed funding, $6K–$14K covers a lean MVP but leaves no room for major pivots or redesigns. Any AI feature iteration (prompt engineering, fine-tuning) will add cost.
!AI feature reliability: GPT-4o suggestions for task descriptions and prioritization can produce inconsistent or irrelevant results without careful prompt engineering and user feedback loops — budget time for iteration.
!ASAP timeline vs. complexity mismatch: a 8-week realistic timeline may conflict with 'ASAP' expectations. Cutting integrations and AI to a later phase could compress this to 5–6 weeks if needed.
!Third-party integration brittleness: Slack webhook integrations are straightforward, but expanding to Jira-level integrations (GitHub, Figma, etc.) post-MVP requires significant rework — architecture should account for this early.
