What Plank handles

The everyday jobs this workspace hands off to Plank — you review the finished work, not the busywork.

  • Tasks from chats

    Catches tasks from chat, messenger and Slack and adds them to the tracker — with an owner and a due date.

    "Turn this chat message into a task"
  • Reminders and escalation

    Reminds owners of deadlines and escalates overdue items to the project lead.

    "Remind everyone about overdue tasks"
  • Status roundup

    Goes around the team in chat and collects statuses on open tasks by the day you need.

    "Collect task statuses by Friday"
  • Knowledge base

    Maintains policies, guides and FAQs — approving estimates and proposals, issuing invoices, access.

    "Find the policy on leave"
  • Meeting minutes

    Records decisions from planning calls and retros: who, what, by when — and creates tasks right away.

    "Write up the minutes for the July 17 call"
  • Daily digest

    Sends a morning summary to chat: what's urgent, what's overdue, what's waiting on the client.

    "Send today's task digest"
  • Inbox triage

    Sorts new messages by urgency and separates real tasks from chit-chat.

    "Triage my inbox and set priorities"
  • Process onboarding

    Gives a new hire the right policies and guides from the project-kickoff checklist.

    "Hand a new hire the client-work policies"
  • Knowledge search

    Answers team questions from the policies and minutes, not from memory.

    "How do we issue an invoice and e-invoice?"
  • Deadlines to calendar

    Adds tasks and planning calls to Google Calendar and keeps deadlines in sync with the tracker.

    "Put this week's deadlines on the calendar"
  • Workload balancing

    Sees who's overloaded with open tasks and suggests redistributing them.

    "Who's overloaded this week?"
  • Handover

    Before someone's leave, gathers their open tasks and sets up a handover to a colleague.

    "Collect Tim's tasks for his leave"
  • Agenda from data

    Builds the standup agenda from open tasks, overdue action items and KPI deviations — not from a blank page.

    "Put together the standup agenda"
  • Metrics ready for the meeting

    Pulls the numbers — revenue, utilization, receivables, NPS — from the space's tables straight into the agenda.

    "Build a dashboard for the standup"
  • Scheduling & invites

    Finds a time that works for attendees, puts the meeting on the calendar on cadence and sends out invites.

    "Schedule the project office sync for Tuesday"
  • Pre-meeting reminders

    Warns attendees ahead of time and asks them to prepare materials and numbers.

    "Remind everyone about the retro"
  • Transcript & takeaways

    Transcribes the meeting recording and pulls out decisions and action items into a structured list.

    "Write up the meeting takeaways"
  • Live meeting notes

    Keeps notes in real time and records who proposed what and what was agreed.

    "Take notes for this meeting"
  • Questions → tasks

    Turns the meeting's open questions into action items with an owner and a deadline.

    "Create tasks from the meeting's questions"
  • Sending out takeaways

    After the meeting it sends a summary and the action-item list to attendees on WhatsApp or Telegram.

    "Send out the standup takeaways"
  • Chasing action items

    Chases owners until the next meeting and shows what hasn't been done since last time.

    "What hasn't been done since the last standup?"
  • Escalating what's stuck

    Highlights action items stuck past their deadline and escalates them to a manager.

    "What's been stuck more than a week?"
  • Meeting rhythm

    Makes sure recurring standups, syncs and retros happen on schedule and no one is forgotten.

    "What standups are on this week?"
  • Meeting report

    Tallies for a period: how many meetings were held, decisions made and action items closed.

    "Meeting report for the month"
