We built Milestone because we were tired of tools that nickel-and-dime you for basic automations and AI features that feel bolted on as an afterthought. Instead of making you configure endless workflows, our AI helps you set up boards from a simple prompt, find information instantly with Find Mode, and automate repetitive work without complex rules. Everything from GitHub integration to Slack notifications works out of the box no premium tier required for the essentials.

You can create entire project boards from a single prompt. Chat with tasks to get context without digging through comments. Use Find Mode to search across your entire workspace - tasks, docs, Slack messages, Gmail - in one place. The AI spots stalled work and surfaces what needs attention. It's less 'AI assistant' and more 'AI that does the boring parts for you.'

Honest answer: We're MVP stage, but production-ready. Teams are already shipping real products with Milestone. You'll see us actively improving things based on feedback, and some features are still rough around the edges. What we lack in polish, we make up for in speed of improvement. If you want a tool that evolves with you instead of staying frozen for years (looking at you, legacy PM tools), that's us.

We're a small team building in public, so you'll get real responses from the people actually building Milestone not scripted support. Report bugs through our integrated feedback system or Slack, and we genuinely want to hear what's broken or missing because it directly shapes our roadmap. Since we're early-stage, some rough edges are expected, but we're obsessive about fixing issues quickly and keeping you in the loop.

The free tier includes core project management features, board creation with AI assistance, basic automations, and essential integrations like GitHub and Slack enough for small teams to ship real work. You'll want to upgrade when you need advanced AI capabilities like more sophisticated doc generation, higher usage limits on AI features, or collaboration tools for larger teams. We're not going to paywall basic functionality or charge you per automation the free tier is genuinely useful, not a bait-and-switch.

End-to-end encryption, OAuth2 for integrations, and your data is never used to train public AI models. We're bootstrapped and privacy-focused - we're not a VC-funded company desperately hunting for 'data monetization strategies.' Your code, docs, and project data stay yours.
