Onplana
Ships weekly →Put a human and an AI agent on the same project
Assign a task to an AI agent the way you would a teammate, in-app, or to Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor over MCP. Talk to it in task comments. It does the work and proposes a draft; you ratify before anything ships.
Assign work to AI
In-app agents and external agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) each show up as a real org member you can assign a task to.
Collaborate in comments
Comment on a task an agent is working and it picks your feedback up on its next sync. The conversation lives on the work, like with a human teammate.
You ratify the drafts
Every output is a draft in the review inbox. Nothing is sent, published, or executed on an agent's say-so. The human keeps the authority.
Everything you need
Built for project managers
Not a glorified to-do list. Onplana ships with enterprise-grade features out of the box.
AI Project Kickstart
Describe your project in plain English. Onplana generates tasks, subtasks, milestones, and a timeline in seconds, no empty-canvas paralysis, no weeks of manual setup.
AI, built in
Risk detection, plan generation, task suggestions, NL parsing, and a streaming chat panel, powered by Claude (Anthropic) or Azure OpenAI. Onplana operates both providers with automatic failover.
AI agents & MCP
Hand a task to the in-app "Run with Onplana Agent" to draft deliverables for review, or connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT and other MCP clients to work your projects directly. On every plan.
Gantt + critical path
Interactive Gantt with 4 dependency types (FS/SS/FF/SF), lag times, baseline snapshots, and automatic critical path highlighting.
Sprints & agile boards
Full Scrum: sprints, epics, backlog, burndown charts, and drag-and-drop Kanban, all inside the same project.
Custom dashboard builder
22 drag-and-drop widget types, stats, charts, task lists, governance widgets, and saved reports. Role-based templates on Enterprise.
Whiteboards & wikis
Excalidraw-powered collaborative whiteboards and BlockNote real-time wikis, per project, in the same workspace.
Office editing in the browser
Create, edit, and live co-edit .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx in the project or org-wide Workspace. Real Office files with version history, no download-and-re-upload.
Project mailbox
Every project gets an inbound email address. Emails auto-create tasks or comments, great for client feedback and issue intake.
Deploy anywhere
Cloud-agnostic Docker deployment. Run on AWS, Azure, GCP, or your own servers. Enterprise+ includes full self-hosting with customer-managed keys.
MPP, Project XML & OData import
Upload .mpp binaries or Microsoft Project XML exports (MSPDI), or connect directly to the Project Online OData API. Built-in field mapper with preview, no manual re-entry.
Enterprise governance
12-stage proposal pipeline, multi-reviewer gate reviews, Change Control Board, scenario planning, SSO/SCIM, audit logs, and IP allowlists.
AI that reads your schedule, not just your prompts
Onplana embeds the leading AI models, Claude by Anthropic and Azure OpenAI, directly into your workflows. Onplana operates both providers with automatic failover, so AI keeps working even during a provider outage, with nothing for you to configure. Or skip the in-app chat entirely and connect Onplana to Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, ChatGPT, or any other MCP-aware agent via our public MCP server.
- Risk detection, schedule, budget, scope, resource
- Plan generation from a goal description
