About Plane
Plane is bolting an AI layer and an app platform onto an enterprise-grade project tool.
Plane is an open-source project-management platform positioning against Jira, and its recent releases push on three fronts at once: AI authoring, an app and integration platform, and enterprise access control. The last stretch added AI content blocks in Pages, MCP app publishing, PQL querying in dashboards, and a redesigned permissions system with custom roles. The deepening Jira-import machinery underscores who Plane is trying to win over.
