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.
