Dart — Project management on autopilot
Dart is a fully-featured project management tool crafted to save time. It uses GPT-4 to learn your team’s patterns and then automate away 'work about work' like filling out descriptions, categorizing and assigning tasks, writing subtasks, and more.

@mnewme thanks so much! Let us know if you get a chance to use it and have any feedback.
@ajinkya_nene thanks, and thank you for the question!
In a lot of ways yes, it is similar. The Dart automations solve for the same problem of saving you time. However, pretty much all tools (including Asana, I believe) use what we call 'rule-based automation' where someone has to write rules for 'if x happens, do y.' A lot of PMs we have talked to have said that these solutions don't work great because you have to do a lot of manual upkeep on the rules.
What Dart does differently is that it uses AI to do more of what we call 'intuitive automation' where Dart just picks up on the patterns that you have been doing recently and then helps you skip steps when you need it. In this way you can save that time without the hassle of writing a bunch of rules.
Does that answer your question?
@artyom_trofimuk1 thanks for the comment!
Between the AI-based features, the keyboard shortcuts, and the integrations, we definitely find that it saves us and our users a lot of time. Hope it is the same for you!
Let us know if there is anything else you would like to see that would save you even more time.
💡 Bright idea
Super excited to start using this! Have you thought about running any GPT agents in the background to start closing some of these tickets :)
@henry_weller thanks for the message, and also the idea! Yes, we absolutely have, and would love to get your thoughts too.
Down the road Dart will graduate from organizing your projects and filing feedback and stuff to also doing some of your tasks for you. Imagine jotting down a task like 'redesign the website to include info about the new feature' or 'fix the bug that Henry just reported in slack' and then have Dart record that task but also take a first pass at it and give you a figma to work from or a PR to approve.
@rachrad thanks for the kind words! Grateful for your support.
We're always working hard to make the product better based on feedback, always appreciate yours!
@fanhk thanks for the message and the encouragement, too kind. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you once you try it.
@david_paffenholz thanks! Always great to hear from you! As usual, let us know if you need anything.
Congrats on the launch! We are proud users here at Soma Cap and excited to dig into the expanded functionality. @zswaff
@willem_vdb thanks for the support! Excited to hear what you think of the latest features.
@bilal_niaz Thanks Bilal. I'm excited to hear what you think about it! Do let us know if we can help with anything along the way.
Just saw tweet from Y Combinator (W22 batch) , congratulations on the launch🎉🎉🎉
@shubham_pratap Thanks for checking us out! YC has been a tremendous help for us over this past year.
Would love to hear your experience @milad_malek , how was the selection process?
How was this one year for you and your team?
Share your journey , it will be a learning for us. :)
Congrats on launching @zswaff and @milad_malek! There’s a lot of project management tools out there. What sets you apart from products like Jira, Clickup, etc?
@zswaff @mattwilliamson Thank you for the question Matt! The particulars depend on the specific product we're comparing to of course, but there are some traits I can talk about in general:
To start our focus is on relatively smaller teams (say 3-50 team members) and because of that we're geared primarily for speed and simplicity. We don't have as many features or complications as some other, larger, tools, but we think it leads to a better experience for smaller teams just trying to get stuff done quickly. At the same time Dart is flexible for the changing needs of growing companies- a specific example is our cycle management feature which teams can utilize on whatever cadence makes sense to them.
Secondly, Dart is built for all sorts of roles and can help people manage tasks across engineering, design, marketing, sales, etc. This is different from an entire class of project management tools that are only geared for engineers and "issue tracking". This has proven to be helpful for teams that like to collaborate or maintain visibility across departments.
Finally the features we're showcasing today using AI to help conduct project management are totally unique to Dart and will enable tremendous time saves. There are some other differentiated features that provide unique value (like our Notion integration) that we didn't cover here much, but I'll leave those for the product to explain 😉. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions on this!
@anna_stepura2 thanks so much for the interest!
Let us know if you have any thoughts or feedback once you try it 😃
Hey guys ! A question about your dependency to GPT-4 : how do you do when the service is down or if it is down one day ?
@devezehugo Thanks for the question! Whenever we can we try to offset dependency on any particular service provider, so for example we handle the natural language to task property generation in the quick-add area ourselves. Admittedly though we are a bit dependent on various forms of GPT in different places so that is something we need to work on more. Luckily we haven't had any serious issues to date but we're closely monitoring that. I should mention as well that we do a good job segmenting things, so if hypothetically one feature is hampered via an outage it's unlikely to affect other parts of the tool, and you'll still be able to use Dart relatively normally.
@devezehugo also, we're thinking about making our calls through Azure rather than OpenAI when possible. Will probably be more reliable that way.
Is this a bolt-on application? Or would this replace use of something like Microsoft Project or Workfront?
Thank you.
@mary_marshall It's a stand-alone application. (Not bolt-on.) I can't say for sure that it would replace every aspect of those tools, but Dart is a fully featured project management tool that will let you and your team manage your tasks from beginning to end.
