About LivePlan
LivePlan rebuilds the plan editor and lets you feed it your own files for AI context.
Two structural moves anchor the period. In late January, LivePlan launched a fully reimagined plan editor — modern templates, custom themes, real-time collaboration with comments, flexible images/charts/tables, and contextual AI writing — and shipped a beta that lets users import notes, spreadsheets, and research so the AI builds on actual business context. Earlier, the forecast editor was rebuilt with a sleeker layout and inline forecast-vs-actuals comparison, and forecast items can now be organized into groups for clearer revenue/cost rollups.
