For the past year, teams on Plane Cloud have been creating work items from natural language, querying project status conversationally, and automating workflow tasks.

Now, Plane AI is coming to Commercial on February 15, 2026, and with that, self-hosted will reach full parity with Cloud.

What is Plane AI

Most project management tools treat AI as an add-on: a chatbot floating in the corner, disconnected from the actual work.
Plane AI has been designed to keep context as a first-class citizen. It's deeply embedded in the product—aware of your project context, your cycles, your team's work patterns.

Two modes, two purposes:

Ask queries your workspace like a database you can talk to.

• "What's blocking the mobile release?" doesn't return a search results page. It returns an answer—synthesized from work items, comments, dependencies, and status updates across your projects. Search by intent, not just keywords.

Build executes. Describe what you want in plain language:

• "Create a P0 bug for the login timeout on Android, assign to Maya, due Friday." Plane creates a properly structured work item with the correct priority, labels, assignee, and deadline.

Build mode extends beyond creation. Update items in bulk. Move incomplete work between cycles. Link dependencies across projects. Restructure modules. The actions that used to require clicking through dozens of screens now happen through conversation.

Plane AI maintains context throughout. It knows which project you're viewing, which cycle is active, and which items relate to your current focus. It catches duplicates before you create them.

And it works across web, mobile, and Slack.

How this works on your infrastructure

Self-hosted teams choose Plane for a reason: control. Plane AI preserves that.

The architecture is bring-your-own-key. You provide API credentials for OpenAI or Anthropic. Plane stores nothing, no keys, no prompts, no responses. Every LLM call routes directly from your infrastructure to your chosen provider.

Supported models include OpenAI's GPT-5.2, GPT-5, and GPT-4.1, alongside Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Claude 4. You choose based on your own calculus of performance, cost, and compliance requirements.

Every API call logs to your infrastructure, fully traceable. Plane AI respects your existing permission model—it cannot surface data a user lacks access to or execute actions they're not authorized to perform. Your security posture stays intact.

Setup takes minutes: add credentials in workspace settings, select a default model, done. No infrastructure changes. No new services to deploy.

What changes in how you work

Work item creation becomes smoother than ever.

"Create a P0 bug for login timeout on Android, assign to Maya, due Friday" becomes a properly structured work item with the right priority, assignee, label, and deadline. One sentence instead of six form fields.

Project intelligence becomes conversational.

Ask "which Epics are at risk this quarter" and get filtered results based on actual progress, blockers, and timelines—not a manual review of 47 different work items.

Workflow automation requires no scripting.

"Move all incomplete work from Cycle 12 to Cycle 13" happens in seconds. Bulk updates, relationship mapping, cross-project organization—all through natural language.

Documentation writes itself.

Summarize a 2,000-word page or get a three-paragraph overview of key points and decisions in seconds. Pull together scattered updates from multiple threads into one coherent status report. Drop unstructured notes into a page and let AI organize them with proper headings, lists, and flow.

February 15, 2026

Plane AI launches for commercial self-hosted instances. Cloud and self-hosted reach full parity: same features, same capabilities, same release cadence going forward.

If you're running self-hosted and want early access to validate it in your environment before launch, contact support@plane.so or find us in Discord.
