Reviewers describe Plane as a clean, flexible project management tool that keeps tasks, updates, files, and requests in one place. They repeatedly praise its easy setup, intuitive interface, customizable dashboards, and multiple views like list, board, calendar, timeline, and Gantt, which help different teams work their own way. Specific features such as templates, intake forms, reporting, Slack integration, mobile access, and self-hosting also stand out. The only real drawback mentioned is a slightly unfamiliar feel at first, though users say it becomes easy quickly.

Hello everyone. I’m Vamsi, the creator of Plane.
We're excited to launch Plane Agents today.
You can now add an agent to your Plane workspace the same way you'd add a team member. It gets a name, a set of projects it's allowed to work in, and work assigned to it like anyone else.
What an agent is made of:
• A playbook, which is the plain-language description of what it's responsible for and how it should go about it
• Skills, which you build yourself and attach to an agent. A skill is a reusable way of doing a specific job, so once you've defined one, any agent you give it to can do that job the same way
• Tools, connected over MCP, which let it reach systems outside Plane when the job needs it
• A scope, which is the list of projects it can act in and nowhere else
• Triggers: you assign it a work item, you mention it in a thread, or you put it on a schedule and it runs on its own
• Memory, so it carries context between runs instead of starting cold each time and updates after each run.
What it can do with that: read and update work items, create new ones, comment, tag, move work between projects, and post summaries back to the team. Triaging incoming requests, running a standup, drafting a spec from a rough note, watching for work that's stalled. If a person can do it inside Plane, an agent can be given that job.
Every action an agent takes shows up in the same activity history as your team's. And agents use the AI credits already included in paid plans, so there's no separate subscription and no per-agent seat.
Very excited for everyone to try this out, we have a generous free tier to experiment with.

@vamsi_kurama The “give an agent a job” approach is a much better mental model than just asking AI random questions. Nice launch.
@vamsi_kurama A lot of project management tools are calling agents as “AI teammates” Plane’s approach feels more like an actual worker in the system: scoped access, event-driven triggers, reusable skills, persistent memory, and an audit trail. I’d start with duplicate bug detection or release-risk checks.
My devs are going to lose their minds if a bot starts messing with their ticket tags so how do I introduce this without a riot?
Been waiting for this one. The fact that agents can be assigned work directly is what I’m really excited to try 🚀
i can already think of a few repetitive workflows i'd happily hand over to an agent, reallyyy looking forward to seeing where it goes!!
Excited to see what all i can do with agents. The workflow looks really promising.
Wow, just tried it and I am honestly loving this! 😄 Being able to get through my day with agents handling things feels pretty amazing. Now I just need an agent squishy ball on my desk to make it feel even more real 😂
Really nice work! Thanks for giving me a whole squad of cute little agents. ❤️
