AI-powered task management for teams

Overview
FlockWorks manages team task assignment with built-in approval workflows and time-based escalation, so a stalled approval automatically routes to the next person instead of getting lost. An async FastAPI backend on Railway pairs with a Vite/React client on Vercel.
Problem
Task approvals stall silently when the approver is unavailable - the task just sits, waiting, with no automatic path forward until someone happens to notice and follows up manually.
Approach
FlockWorks builds time-based escalation directly into the approval workflow: if an approval sits too long, it automatically routes to the next person rather than waiting indefinitely. An async FastAPI backend on Railway pairs with a React client on Vercel.
Outcome
Discontinued 2026-09-09 as part of a broader product-portfolio wind-down: the Railway backend was taken down and the Vercel frontend paused. Kept here as a real shipped case study rather than erased from the record.
Highlights
- Approval workflows with automatic time-based escalation
- Async FastAPI backend with a React dashboard
- Deployed backend on Railway, frontend on Vercel
