Hire your AI project manager
Sprints, standups, unblocks, and honest timelines — run by chat.
Your AI Project Manager owns the weekly rhythm of shipping. Runs the sprint plan, tracks every ticket, chases blockers before they fester, updates customers on promised dates, and builds the ship log that tells you what actually moved. You stop being the calendar, the escalation path, and the nudger.
What your AI Project Manager does
Workflows on autopilot
Without vs With a AI Project Manager
- —Sprint plans live in a doc that nobody reads after Tuesday
- —Customers find out features are late when they check in themselves
- —Tickets rot in 'blocked' for a week before the owner even notices
- —A PM hire costs $140K and half their time is status updates
- —Retros happen quarterly and nobody remembers what actually slipped
- ✓Sprint state is live and everyone knows what's on fire without asking
- ✓Proactive updates go out the moment the date starts slipping
- ✓48-hour blocker escalation with a named owner for the next move
- ✓AI PM runs the mechanics for a fraction of the cost, freeing a human for product strategy
- ✓Small retros after every slip, patterns emerge within 30 days

Frequently asked questions
Don't engineers hate PMs who nag them?
They hate PMs who nag without context. The AI Project Manager pulls ticket state, PR status, and CI results before sending any nudge, so every ask has the why attached ('this is the blocker on the customer commitment we made to Acme, ETA Friday'). Engineers report the AI PM is less annoying than a human PM because it never forgets context, never pings during focus time without reason, and handles the low-value status-update work that engineers dislike answering. Most teams onboarding the AI PM see standups compress from 20 minutes to 3.
Can it run sprint planning without me?
For most weeks, yes. The AI Project Manager reads last week's output, reviews the backlog against priorities from the AI CEO, proposes a sprint with honest confidence intervals, and ships it to the team. You review the proposal in 3 minutes and sign off. Exceptions — strategic pivots, unusually high-risk weeks, customer-driven scope changes — come to you with a clear recommendation. In practice founders spend about 10 minutes per week on sprint planning instead of the hour a human PM would consume.
How does it handle unclear priorities?
It refuses to invent them. When the backlog and the AI CEO's weekly plan don't answer 'what matters most this week', the AI Project Manager writes a one-line ambiguity escalation ('unclear whether the Acme commitment or the churn fix takes precedence') and pauses sprint planning until you answer. This is deliberate — a bad sprint plan costs a week of wasted work, and a 5-minute founder decision prevents it. The AI PM never ships a plan that pretends to be more certain than it is.
Does it work for async and distributed teams?
It works best for them. The AI Project Manager runs entirely on async signals (tickets, PRs, Slack messages, commits) and produces written summaries that span time zones. Teams in San Francisco, Amsterdam, and Tokyo can share a single sprint with synthesized handoffs instead of live standups. For fully sync teams, it can run live standups too, but most founders find the async version is a productivity gain rather than a downgrade — meetings get replaced by 6-line daily summaries and people get their mornings back.
Can it manage external contractors or agencies?
Yes, with a caveat. It treats external collaborators as first-class team members — pings them for updates, tracks their deliverables, escalates when they miss. The caveat: contractors often have their own workflows, and the AI respects them. If your agency uses Asana and your team uses Linear, the AI PM syncs the two views rather than forcing migration. What it won't do: manage billing disputes, renegotiate scope, or fire a contractor — those remain founder decisions. What it will do: make sure you have the information to make those decisions on time.
