What Maige is
Maige is an AI plugin for GitHub that automatically adds labels to your issues. You add it to your repository for a free trial, and from then on new issues are labeled as they arrive, which removes a repetitive triage task for maintainers. For existing issues, you can leave a comment to trigger labeling on a single issue or across all old issues at once, and you can include custom instructions in a comment to control how the labels are applied. It is an open-source project developed by the Rubric team, so you can inspect the code and understand exactly what it does with your data.
What you can do with it
- Let new issues get labeled automatically as they are filed.
- Backfill labels across old issues with a bulk comment.
- Apply your own rules by adding custom instructions in a comment.
Who it is for
- Repository maintainers facing a steady flow of new issues.
- Development teams that want consistent, automatic labeling.
- Open-source projects that need triage help without hiring.
- Anyone who wants a cleaner issue list without manual sorting.
What to watch out for
Labeling accuracy depends on how well the AI reads your issue text, and vague or poorly written issues may get poor labels, so encourage good issue templates to get better results. The plugin only covers GitHub, so if your team uses another tracker this is out of scope, and migrating labels between systems is still manual. The free trial ends, and continued use terms should be confirmed on the official page before you depend on it. Because it acts on your repository, review the permissions you grant it, and remember that trial terms and pricing can change over time.
