AI Assistant

FlowPlan's AI assistant helps you break down projects into actionable tasks, saving you time on planning.

What can the AI do?

  • Generate tasks for a project — Describe what you want to achieve, and the AI creates a list of tasks with estimated durations
  • Break down complex goals — Turn a big idea into manageable steps
  • Suggest task structures — Get recommendations based on your project description

Supported AI providers

FlowPlan works with multiple AI providers. You can choose the one you prefer:

Provider Popular models Notes
OpenAI GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini Most widely used
Groq Llama, Mixtral Fast inference
Anthropic Claude models Strong reasoning
OpenRouter Multiple models Access to many providers through one API

Setting up your AI provider

  1. Go to Settings > AI Settings
  2. Select your preferred provider
  3. Enter your API key
  4. Choose a model (or use the default)
  5. Click Test Connection to verify it works
  6. Save your settings

Note: You need your own API key from the AI provider. FlowPlan does not include API credits.

Using AI to generate tasks

  1. Open a project
  2. Click the AI Assistant button
  3. Describe what you want to accomplish in the text box
  4. Click Generate
  5. The AI will suggest a list of tasks with:
  6. Task titles
  7. Estimated durations
  8. Suggested priorities
  9. Review each suggestion
  10. Add the tasks you want to keep

Tips for better results

  • Be specific — "Create a landing page with hero section, features grid, pricing table, and contact form" works better than "make a website"
  • Include constraints — Mention deadlines, tools, or requirements
  • Iterate — If the first suggestions don't fit, adjust your description and try again
  • Review and adjust — AI suggestions are a starting point. Adjust durations and priorities based on your experience.
