Pro Tips

Get more from
your Gantt charts.

  • Be specific about your timeline — "3-month project starting in April" gives better context.
  • Mention team roles in your prompt (e.g. "2 developers, 1 designer") for smarter task assignment.
  • Use the "Expand Prompt" feature for complex projects — it structures your idea before generation.
  • Charts auto-save. Revisit them from your dashboard at any time to continue editing.

Example Prompt

"Build a mobile fitness app. We have 2 developers, 1 designer, and 1 QA engineer. Need to complete design mockups, backend API, React Native frontend, and testing phases. Timeline: 3 months starting April 1st. Budget: $50,000."

AI generates ~15–25 tasks with phases, assignments, and dependencies
