Open-source project management tool

Plane ships a fortnightly digest, and the AI layer is where the real work is going.

◆Current state
Plane releases on a strict twice-monthly cadence, each entry a bundle rather than a single feature. The current window covers Pages becoming a document surface (toggle blocks, embedded widgets, nested-page zip export), Intake getting dashboard visibility, and Automations extending to modules, milestones, and releases. Underneath, Plane AI has been accumulating capability faster than any other area — Skills, an AI Block in Pages, live PQL results in chat, open-weight model options.
◆Where it's heading
The tracker is being rebuilt around two things it did not start as: a wiki with executable blocks, and a workspace where agent behaviour is authored and stored. Skills was the turn — instructions saved once and reused rather than re-typed — and the Pages work since has been about making the document a place where that output lands. The structural cleanups run alongside: epics folded into the work item type system, permissions redesigned into two layers, automations widened to more object types. It is consolidation, not sprawl.
◆Prediction
The next digests likely extend Automations toward AI-triggered actions, since Skills, PQL, and rule-based automation now exist as separate pieces that obviously compose. The entries are digest summaries linking off-site, so per-feature depth is not readable from the feed.

◆Recent moves

    Collapsible toggle blocks, Intake widgets, and more | Aug 14, 2026

    Collapsible toggle blocks and zip export of nested pages continue the Pages build-out, while new dashboard widgets make the Intake queue readable at a glance. Automations widening to modules, milestones, and releases is the more consequential half — the rule engine now covers the objects teams actually plan around.

    Skills in Plane AI, richer Pages, Audit logs, and more | Jul 31, 2026

    ⚡ SPARK

    The release that set the current direction: instructions become saved, reusable objects inside the workspace rather than prompts retyped per task. Everything shipped since — interactive Pages blocks, wider automations — reads as building the surfaces that output lands on.

    Shared dashboards, Bitbucket, and new AI models | Jul 15, 2026

    Shared dashboards, Bitbucket Cloud and Data Center connectors, and new open-weight models in Plane AI. The model additions matter mainly as an answer to teams that will not send work items to a hosted frontier model.

  4. 1mo ago

    Mermaid JS diagrams, PQL filters, and more | Jun 30, 2026

    Mermaid diagrams render inside Pages, PQL filters reach dashboard widgets, and PQL results appear live in Plane AI chat. The query language spreading from dashboards into chat is the part that compounds — it makes the assistant answer from real workspace data.

    AI Block in Pages | Jun 15, 2026

    An AI Block that drafts, revises, and embeds generated content inline in any Page. It put the assistant inside the document a month before Skills gave it reusable instructions to run there.

    Epics become a work item type, publish MCP apps, and more | May 31, 2026

    ⚡ SPARK

    Two structural moves in one digest: epics stop being a parallel concept and become an ordinary work item type, and MCP applications can be published from Plane. The first is the cleanup that made later automation work tractable; the second opened the agent surface Skills would build on.
