Project tools charge $12 a seat with a 3-seat minimum. Projects gives you monday-style boards — with an AI that drafts them from a sentence and automations that move the work — free for the whole team.
Part of the OpenServe family — reaching millions of people across its apps.
The new project
Describe the work and the AI drafts the whole board — columns, phases, starter items, owners — ready to edit before anything is created.
Status hits Done
Automations archive, notify, and move work the moment a status changes — and every edit lands on your teammates' screens live.
Monday, 9 AM
Progress, workload, and what stalled — rolled up across every board before the standup starts, with changes pulsing into the team feed.
The same items, whichever way the work reads best — switch views with a keystroke, and every one stays live as your team edits.

For teams
Create a workspace with your name, logo, and colors beside OpenServe's — then invite the team by email. Everyone gets the boards, the automations, and the dashboards, and nobody does per-seat math again.
Projects is completely free to use
Boards in three views, the AI board builder, automations, dashboards, real roles, and live co-editing — no credit card, no trial countdown, no seat minimums. Pro exists for heavier AI use when you want it, never as a wall.
Table, kanban, and timeline views over the same items — typed columns for status, people, dates, numbers, and priorities.
Describe the work and Projects drafts the whole board — columns, phases, and starter items — ready to edit before anything is created.
When status hits Done, things happen: archive, notify, move. Dashboards roll every board up into progress, workload, and counts.
Bring your board over from monday.com, Trello, or Asana — Genius walks you through the export, previews the result, and invites your team.
Drop a link to your site, app, social profile, or videos — get it scored against the winners in your category, with the opportunities that move it.
Phases, items, owners, automations — drafted in a minute, run by the AI, and free for everyone you invite.
