AI Project Generation

LoopGantt's AI generator turns a one-sentence description into a complete project plan — with phases, tasks, durations, dependencies, and milestones. It's the fastest way to get from a blank screen to a working plan.

How it works

The AI generator is trained on thousands of real-world project patterns across industries. When you describe your project, it identifies the most relevant project type and generates a structured plan following best practices for that category.

Generated plans include:

  • Industry-appropriate phases (e.g., Discovery → Design → Build → Launch for software)
  • Realistic task durations based on typical project timelines
  • Proper dependency chains (tasks won't start before their predecessors)
  • Milestones at key decision points

How to use the generator

AI Project Generator modal with text input, prompt tips, and Generate with AI button
Describe your project and the AI generates a full plan with phases, tasks, and dependencies
  1. From the dashboard, click Generate with AI.
  2. Type a description of your project. Be specific — the more context you give, the better the result.
  3. Click Generate. The plan appears in seconds.
  4. Review the plan, edit any tasks that don't fit your situation.
  5. Click Save.

Writing a good prompt

The AI responds well to specificity. Compare:

Vague (worse result)Specific (better result)
Build an appBuild a React Native mobile app with user auth, a task list, and push notifications
Marketing campaignLaunch a B2B SaaS content marketing campaign: blog posts, LinkedIn ads, and a webinar
Move officesOffice relocation for a 50-person team: lease, fit-out, IT migration, and moving day

After generation

Treat the AI output as a starting draft, not a final plan. Always review:

  • Are the durations realistic for your team and resources?
  • Are there tasks unique to your situation that are missing?
  • Do the dependencies reflect your actual constraints?
  • Should any tasks be split, merged, or promoted to phases?

A 5-minute review of a generated plan beats a 2-hour manual planning session. The goal is not perfection from the AI — it's a fast, structured first draft.

Pro tip: Want even more control? Use your own ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to generate a JSON file and import it — this gives you full control over the AI, the prompt, and the output.
