AI Copilot for MPP Projects ChatMPP is an AI-powered copilot designed to help teams and stakeholders instantly understand, summarize and query MS Project (.mpp) files using natural language. ChatMPP works with native Microsoft Project files and supports .mpp files created with Microsoft Project 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021 and 2024. Unlike general-purpose AI tools, ChatMPP is specifically optimized for the structure and data inside Microsoft Project plans, enabling more accurate and context-aware analysis of tasks, milestones, critical path, dependencies, resource workloads, baselines, delays, costs and remaining effort. With ChatMPP you can quickly get plain-language summaries of complex project plans, ask ad-hoc questions about dates, resources, risks or workload, generate status updates and executive summaries ready to copy-paste into emails or reports, identify overallocations and upcoming bottlenecks, and help non-project-management stakeholders understand the plan without needing Microsoft Project installed. We pioneered the development of Project Viewer for MPP files back in 2001 and since then we have helped millions of users instantly save money on Microsoft Project licenses. ChatMPP builds on this long-standing expertise with Microsoft Project files, adding a modern AI copilot layer that makes your project data easier to understand, explain and act on. You can start using ChatMPP for free with core viewing and Q&A capabilities on your .mpp files. By upgrading to ChatMPP Plus, you can unlock extended usage limits and advanced features such as deeper analysis, richer summaries and enhanced collaboration scenarios. ChatMPP transforms the way you read, understand and communicate your Microsoft Project plans. Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.

Onplana Tasks
Read full descriptionHide full description
Onplana Tasks is a free task manager for your iPhone and iPad that puts your work and your AI agents' work in one list. You can start without an account, and sign in to Onplana to share tasks with your team. It is a companion to Onplana, the AI-native project management platform. Can I use it without an account? Yes. Tap Use without an account on the first screen. Your tasks stay on your device. Add tasks in plain language, complete, snooze and reprioritize them with a swipe, change their due date, pin them to My Day, and get due-date reminders. When you sign in, the app offers to move your tasks into an Onplana project. How do I hand a task to an AI agent or a teammate? Open the task and choose who it goes to. Your AI agents are members of your Onplana projects, so you give a task to an agent the same way you give one to a teammate, and the agent starts working on it. Agents are connected in the Onplana web app. How do I keep track of my agents? The Agents tab shows what your agents did while you were away, what is still running, and which one is blocked and needs you. Where can I find AI-powered task management? Signed in, "What should I focus on?" writes a short brief from your overdue work and anything an agent is waiting on. The first time, the app tells you what it sends to its AI provider and asks before sending anything. Report under an answer flags a wrong one. AI draws on your workspace's AI allowance, which every plan has. Your work, on one screen - Your assigned work, grouped Overdue, Today, This week and Later, or a project's Mine and Everyone views. - Sort and filter it by status, priority, project and date. - Add a task in seconds. A due date, a priority and a project name are picked up as you type. - Complete, reopen, snooze or reprioritize from the list, with a swipe. - Open a task for its subtasks, comments, attachments and collaborators, the people working on it with you. - Log time against a task. Logging time needs the Professional plan or above. - Raise an issue with a screenshot when something is broken. - Capture an idea. It stays private to you until you share it. - Your inbox of mentions, comments and assignments, each opening the thing it is about. - If you own or manage a project, invite people to it and give them a task. People you invite join the project as guests. The app never reads your contacts. - Open a Microsoft Project, Project XML, Primavera P6, CSV or Excel file and see its tasks. Without an account, add them to your list. Signed in, create a project from the file in Onplana. - Due-date reminders arrive with the app closed. On iPad Your list stays on one side and the task, issue or idea you open sits beside it. Drag the line between them to give either side more room. On a bad connection, your list is still there, and completions and snoozes sync when you are back. Adding a task while signed in needs a connection. Languages: English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Arabic. Privacy: no third-party trackers, no ads and no cross-app tracking. Before you sign in, nothing leaves your device except a schedule file you choose to open, which is sent to Onplana to be read. The uploaded copy is deleted within 3 days, and removed from backups 7 days after that.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Onplana Tasks at none against ChatMPP's 1. ChatMPP's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
