AI project management software, feature by feature
Alien Task is built around one idea: the software should do the setup and the tracking, so the team can do the work. Here is everything that ships in the open beta.
The planning work, already done
The copilot is the reason Alien Task starts faster than the tool you are replacing. It does not autocomplete task titles — it produces the structure you would otherwise build by hand.
Goal-to-project decomposition
State an outcome — "launch the Q4 partner portal" — and get a project with tasks, subtasks, sequencing, owners, and dates. Edit anything; nothing is locked.
AI discussion briefings
A forty-comment thread condenses to a two-line executive summary naming the decision and the open question, so you read the outcome instead of the argument.
Delivery forecasting
The copilot compares live throughput against your historical completion rate and flags the projects that will miss their date while there is still time to react.
Task generation in context
Add work to an existing project and the copilot writes it against what is already there, matching your naming and structure rather than starting cold.
One dataset, three ways to work
Different roles need different shapes of the same information. Alien Task renders one source of truth as a board, a list, and a calendar — no duplicate entry, no syncing.
Kanban pipelines
Drag-and-drop columns with native subtasks and instant status writes. Built to stay responsive when a board holds real volume, not a demo dataset.
Structured lists
Dense, sortable, filterable rows for people who think in queues rather than columns. Bulk-edit assignments and dates without opening each task.
Deadline calendar
Every due date on one surface. Drag to reschedule and the board, list, and forecast all update from the same change.
Contextual discussion
Comments live on the task, not in a separate chat tool, so the decision and the work it applies to never drift apart.
Workload visible without a spreadsheet
Reporting that ships with the product, not a data export you rebuild every month.
Team velocity
Completion throughput per cycle, trended, so "are we faster than last quarter" is a glance rather than an analysis project.
Workload balance
See who is carrying too much before it turns into a missed date or a burnt-out engineer.
Cycle-time visibility
Find the column where work actually sits. Usually it is not the one people blame.
Delivery status roll-up
On-track, at-risk, and slipped across every project in the workspace, on one screen.
Every company in its own box
Built for people who do not run exactly one organization — agencies, holding companies, fractional operators, and founders with more than one venture.
Multi-company isolation
Each workspace is scoped to its own organization identifier at the data layer. Queries cannot cross a tenant boundary.
One-login switching
Move between companies from a single account without signing out or juggling browser profiles.
Role-based permissions
Per-workspace roles so a contractor or client sees exactly their scope — and no part of another engagement.
Unlimited collaborators
Invite teammates, contractors, and clients freely. No seat minimums and no per-user tier jumps during open beta.
Fast, secure, and available where you work
The parts you only notice when they are wrong.
Touch-first mobile
The full product on a phone — move tasks, read briefings, check delivery status. Not a stripped-down companion app.
Encryption in transit and at rest
TLS 1.3 on the wire, AES-256 at rest, with automated backups. Detail on the security page.
Two-minute onboarding
No required custom fields, no mandatory statuses, no setup wizard to clear before the board is usable.
Free during open beta
Full feature access with no credit card while the beta runs. Beta workspaces get advance notice before pricing changes.
