Try Carly →What Carly can do with GitHub
Create issues from anywhere
Email Carly with a bug report, feature request, or task and she'll create a GitHub issue with the title, description, labels, and assignee. No need to open GitHub.
Check pull request status
Ask Carly about a specific PR — is it approved, are checks passing, who still needs to review? She'll pull the status from GitHub and send you the details.
Get repo activity summaries
Ask Carly what's been happening in a repo — recent merges, open PRs, new issues. Great for standups or catching up after time away.
Forward customer reports to GitHub
Forward a customer email or bug report to Carly and she'll turn it into a well-formatted GitHub issue with the right labels and context already included.
Why engineering teams use AI for GitHub project management
GitHub is where code lives, but managing the project management side of GitHub — issues, labels, assignees, PR reviews, repo activity — takes time that could be spent building. Triaging bug reports, creating well-formatted issues, and checking on PR status all require context-switching into the GitHub UI.
Carly lets you manage GitHub from your inbox. Forward a customer bug report and Carly turns it into a labeled, assigned GitHub issue. Ask about a PR and she tells you if checks are passing and who still needs to review. Request a repo summary before standup and she sends you recent merges, open PRs, and new issues — all without you opening github.com.
How Carly works as your AI GitHub assistant
Authorize Carly on your GitHub account from the dashboard. She can access personal repos and organization repos you grant permission to. Once connected, Carly can create issues with titles, descriptions, labels, and assignees; check PR status including review approvals and CI checks; add comments to issues and PRs; and pull activity summaries from any repo.
The most common workflow is issue creation. You email Carly something like "Create a bug in the main repo — CSV export includes deleted records, label it high-priority, assign to the backend team." Carly creates the issue in GitHub with the full context, labels, and assignee. If you forward a customer email, she extracts the relevant details and formats the issue cleanly.
For team leads, Carly is a fast way to get status updates. Ask "What happened in the frontend repo this week?" and she'll send you a summary of merged PRs, open PRs awaiting review, and new issues — formatted for a standup or status update.
Who uses Carly for GitHub automation
Engineering managers who need repo updates without diving into GitHub's interface. Product managers who file issues based on customer feedback but don't live in GitHub. Founders and CTOs who want a pulse on development activity without interrupting their team.
Carly is especially useful for non-technical stakeholders who need to interact with GitHub. Instead of learning GitHub's interface, they email Carly in plain language and she handles the GitHub interaction.

What is the best AI for GitHub issue management?
Carly is an AI assistant that connects to GitHub and lets you create issues, check PR status, add comments, and get repo summaries — all by email or text. Unlike GitHub Copilot which focuses on code, Carly handles the project management side: issue triage, status checks, and cross-tool coordination.
Can AI create GitHub issues from email?
Yes. Forward any email to Carly — a customer bug report, a feature request from a teammate, internal notes — and she'll create a well-formatted GitHub issue with the title, description, labels, and assignee you specify. She extracts the relevant context so the issue is ready to triage.
How is Carly different from GitHub Copilot?
GitHub Copilot is a code completion tool that helps you write code inside your IDE. Carly is a personal assistant that handles the project management side of GitHub — creating issues, checking PR status, pulling repo activity summaries, and coordinating across GitHub and other tools like Slack, Linear, and Notion.
Can Carly work with private repositories?
Yes. Carly can access private repos that you've authorized during the GitHub connection. She won't access anything outside the scope you grant.
Does Carly work with GitHub Organizations?
Yes. If you grant access to an organization during setup, Carly can create issues and pull data from repos within that org.
Can Carly create pull requests?
Carly can create issues, check PR status, and add comments to PRs. She doesn't push code or create branches, but she's great for the project management side of GitHub.
