Field notes
The homepage lays out a four-step flow: paste notes, email, transcript, or Excel/CSV; review extracted dates; insert native shapes; then update the plan later. It says ambiguous dates, missing finishes, and dependency order are flagged before insertion, while Smart-Lock preserves manual label and color edits during updates. The page lists 32 diagrams, including CPM, IPS, RAID, RACI, and risk heat maps, and says recognizable spreadsheets stay on the user's computer. The product is presented as early access, so availability is not established by the page.
