About Plane
Plane pushes AI into pages and turns itself into a platform you can publish MCP apps from.
Plane, the open-source project-management tool, is shipping a dense stream of features on two fronts: an in-product query language (PQL) that now runs across dashboards, widgets, and its AI chat, and AI authoring embedded directly into Pages. Underneath, it has been maturing the fundamentals — a redesigned roles-and-permissions system, Epics as a first-class work item type, and the ability to publish MCP applications from Plane itself.
