GanttPilot Introduction

GanttPilot is an AI-powered project scheduling tool that converts prompts, templates, or imported files into editable Gantt charts. It generates structured schedules with tasks, dates, dependencies, and milestones, then lets users check logic, preview revisions, and approve changes before the plan updates. The tool supports Excel, CSV, XLSX, Microsoft Project XML, and MPP file imports, making it practical for teams already working with existing schedule data.

GanttPilot works by taking project input — a written description, a template, or an imported schedule file — and converting it into structured schedule data with tasks, durations, dependencies, and milestones displayed on a Gantt timeline. When changes occur, the tool runs a dependency and resource check, generates a revision preview showing which tasks are affected and by how much, and then waits for user approval before applying the update to the plan.

GanttPilot turns rough project descriptions into structured schedules without manual setup, reducing the time spent building initial plans from scratch. The revision preview feature lets teams see the impact of changes before committing, which helps avoid cascading delays caused by hidden dependency issues. By supporting standard file formats like Excel and Microsoft Project, it fits into existing workflows rather than requiring teams to abandon tools they already use.
