Solo founder here. Built Paragent so I could ship features without hiring!

I’m a solo founder. My backlog kept growing, and I was spending most of my time context-switching between features instead of shipping.

I tried Copilot, Cursor, and other AI tools. They helped, but I still had to be in the flow, write the code, create branches, and open PRs myself.
I wanted something that could take a feature idea and turn it into a PR I could review.

So I built https://paragent.app

What it does:
You describe a feature in plain English. For example: “Add Stripe checkout to the pricing page.” Paragent creates a branch, plans the implementation, writes the code, runs your tests, and opens a pull request. You review and merge like any other PR.

You can run multiple agents in parallel. Describe 5 features before lunch, review 5 PRs in the afternoon.

Why I built it this way
BYO API keys — You use your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini keys. We don’t store your code or prompts.
GitHub-native — It’s a GitHub App. Minimal permissions: read/write contents and PRs. No access to main or anything you don’t want.

Free tier — Free to start, no credit card. One repo, two concurrent agents.
Where it is now

It’s live at https://paragent.app. I’ve been using it for my own projects and iterating on it.

If you’re a solo founder or small team drowning in backlog, I’d love it if you tried it. Feedback and questions are welcome.
