About Dart

The only truly AI-native project management tool

Dart is a fully-featured project management tool that lets you chat with AI to create tasks, plan roadmaps, generate reports, and handle any other PM work. You can then use customizable agents to complete work across every role. Thousands of teams use Dart in order to chat with their tasks, plan better, and eliminate regular PM chores from their schedule, freeing up seven hours per week to focus on other work.
