Plane is quietly turning its project tracker into a place you build and publish agents from.

◆Current state
The last four months have added an AI layer at every level of the product: an AI Block that drafts and rewrites inside any Page, PQL — Plane's query language — usable in dashboards, in widget filters and live inside AI chat, the ability to publish MCP applications from Plane, and now Skills, which save and reuse instructions in Plane AI. Around that sits ordinary tracker work: epics promoted to a real work item type, shared dashboards, Bitbucket Cloud and Data Center, Mermaid diagrams in Pages, audit logs, and a redesigned two-layer permissions model with custom roles.
◆Where it's heading
The direction is an agent surface built on top of a structured work graph rather than a chat box bolted onto a tracker. PQL is the connective tissue — the same query language answers a dashboard widget and an AI question, so the agent reads the same data model the user does. Skills and publishable MCP apps then let that behaviour be saved and shared instead of re-prompted, which is what turns a feature into a platform.
◆Prediction
Skills and MCP publishing are both packaging mechanisms shipped within two months of each other, so the gap they leave is distribution — somewhere to find and install what other teams have built. Whether Plane fills it is not indicated by these entries.

    Skills in Plane AI, richer Pages, Audit logs, and more | Jul 31, 2026

    ⚡ SPARK

    Skills give Plane AI a memory for instructions: a prompt worked out once is saved and re-run rather than retyped. Shipped alongside richer Pages blocks, dashboard widgets, audit logs and a Collections API, it is the packaging step that follows May's MCP publishing.

    Shared dashboards, Bitbucket, and new AI models | Jul 15, 2026

    Dashboards become shareable, Bitbucket Cloud and Data Center join the integration set, and new open-weight models arrive in Plane AI. The model additions are the routine half; shared dashboards are what makes the analytics work collaborative.

    Mermaid JS diagrams, PQL filters, and more | Jun 30, 2026

    Mermaid diagrams render directly in Pages, PQL moves into dashboard widget filters and shows live results inside AI chat, and Confluence spaces import via XML ZIP exports. The PQL work matters most — it is the same query language answering both dashboard and agent questions.

    AI Block in Pages | Jun 15, 2026

    An AI Block that writes, revises and embeds generated content inline in any Page, rather than in a side panel. Small in scope, but it puts generation where the writing already happens.

    Epics become a work item type, publish MCP apps, and more | May 31, 2026

    ⚡ SPARK

    Epics stop being a special case and become a regular work item type living in the Work Items list, and Plane gains the ability to publish MCP applications. The data-model simplification and the agent-surface expansion arrived together.

    Embed media in the editor, PQL in Dashboards, and more | May 15, 2026

    Media embeds by URL in the editor, PQL querying in Dashboards, Gantt planning for Teamspace work, customer requests attached to work items, and page editing from Plane AI. The first appearance of PQL in dashboards, later extended to widgets and chat.
