Question 1

What is Alien Task?

Accepted Answer

Alien Task is AI-first task and project management software. You create a workspace, describe what you are trying to ship, and the AI copilot breaks it into projects, tasks, and owners. From there your team works in Kanban, list, or calendar views while the copilot summarizes discussions and forecasts delivery dates.

Question 2

How much does Alien Task cost?

Accepted Answer

Alien Task is free during open beta. There is no credit card requirement, no per-seat charge, and no feature paywall while the beta runs. When paid plans launch, beta workspaces get advance notice and migration terms before anything changes.

Question 3

How long does setup take?

Accepted Answer

Under two minutes. You create a workspace, name it, and invite your team by email. There are no required custom fields, no mandatory statuses, and no onboarding checklist to clear before the board is usable.

Question 4

Is Alien Task a good ClickUp alternative?

Accepted Answer

It is built for teams that found ClickUp too heavy. ClickUp optimizes for configurability — hundreds of settings, nested hierarchies, and custom field schemas. Alien Task optimizes for time-to-first-board and lets the AI copilot handle the structuring work you would otherwise configure by hand.

Question 5

Can I manage more than one company in a single account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every workspace is isolated at the data layer, and you switch between them from one login without signing out. Agencies, holding companies, and founders running several ventures use this to keep client and company data strictly separated.

Question 6

What does the AI project copilot actually do?

Accepted Answer

Three things. It decomposes a stated goal into a project with tasks, subtasks, and a timeline. It condenses long comment threads into short executive briefings so you do not read forty replies. And it forecasts delivery risk by comparing current velocity against your historical completion trends.

Question 7

Can I edit what the AI generates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every generated project, task, subtask, due date, and assignment is fully editable. The copilot gives you a starting structure, not a locked plan.

Question 8

Does Alien Task have Kanban boards?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with drag-and-drop pipelines, native subtasks, per-column limits, and instant status updates. The same data also renders as a structured list and a deadline calendar, so you switch views without duplicating work.

Question 9

Does adding teammates cost anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Collaboration is unlimited during open beta — invite as many teammates, contractors, or clients as you need. There are no seat minimums and no per-user tier jumps.

Question 10

How is my data secured?

Accepted Answer

Data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256. Every workspace is scoped to its own organization identifier so queries cannot cross tenant boundaries, access is governed by role-based permissions, and backups run automatically. Full detail is on the security page.

Question 11

Does Alien Task work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The interface is built for touch as well as desktop, so you can move tasks, read AI briefings, and check delivery status from a phone without a stripped-down experience.

Question 12

How does Alien Task relate to AlienMail.io?

Accepted Answer

They are sister products. AlienMail.io is the AI outbound engine that fills your pipeline; Alien Task is the AI execution engine that delivers the work. Same design language, same philosophy — replace fragmented tooling with software that does the setup for you.
