One AI toolkit forproject managers
Turn sync notes into minutes and RAID entries. Slide text into steerco diagrams. A per-project session your AI tools can read. One menu-bar app, one shortcut.
The deck is the deliverable,
and it eats the afternoon
Select the milestone list on a slide and Khint picks the framework that fits it: a timeline with done and pending markers, risk-to- mitigation cards, a process rail. You get native editable PowerPoint shapes, not a screenshot of a diagram. The same governance day runs the other way too, from the sprint you pull at nine to the status update that goes out at four, all inside one project's session.
Slide text in, a real diagram out. macOS only, and the .pptx keeps every shape movable.
Two ways to get from sync notes to a steerco
Both end in a deck and a status update. They differ on where the drawing time goes, and on whether one project's draft can see another's.
Three projects, one prompt history
Three projects in one thread is one context. A status update written out of the wrong one is worse than no update at all.
- Every project shares the same chat thread, so the status for one keeps borrowing details from the one you were writing an hour ago.
- The deck is the deliverable and it's drawn by hand: boxes aligned, arrows redrawn, the risk slide rebuilt from the same list as last month.
- You ask the team to re-summarize a board that already says it, because the tool writing the update can't see the board.
- The same update then gets rewritten for Slack, for the sponsor email and for the page, each in a slightly different voice.
Khint, one session per project
One session per project keeps the payments draft from knowing anything about the other one. Sessions live on your Mac and never sync.
- Start a session when you switch project. The payments draft stops knowing anything about the other one, and sessions never sync.
- Select the milestone list in PowerPoint and get a timeline with done and pending markers back, as native editable shapes.
- Pull the active sprint into the session and the status draft cites the real delivery state rather than a summary of a summary.
- Because the session holds the sprint, the minutes and the RAID changes, one Weekly status agent covers the channel and the sponsor mail.
Active sprint, pulled from the board
Milestones, as editable shapesThe four pieces
a governance day runs on
A PM's output is a deck, a log and an update, each owed to a different audience on the same afternoon. These are the four pages behind that, and each one is a shipped feature rather than a roadmap slide.
Diagrams
Khint picks the framework the content fits: a timeline, risk-to-mitigation cards, a process rail. Ten of them, macOS only.
Memory
One session per project, so the payments status never knows about the other migration. Claude Desktop reads the same live session.
Agents
Sync notes to minutes, a decision to a RAID entry, a week of noise to a status update, in the document you were already in.
Integrations
Pull the active sprint for the ground truth, create the Confluence page, post to a channel or draft the sponsor email.
What changes on a governance day
Three things, and none of them adds a tool your sponsors have to learn.
- StopsAsking the team to re-summarize the boardPull the active sprint into the project's session and the status draft cites what the board already says, rather than what somebody remembered to tell you.
- LandsThe deck, as native editable shapesA .pptx whose shapes you can still move, recolor and reflow in PowerPoint, not a picture of a diagram pasted onto a slide. macOS only.
- Gets backThe deck as a writing job rather than a drawing jobThe milestone list becomes a timeline and the risk slide becomes risk-to-mitigation cards, from the text you had already written on the slide.
Common questions from project managers
What can a project manager actually do with Khint?
Select any text (sync notes, a stakeholder email, a Slack thread), hit Cmd+Shift+K, and run an AI agent on it in place: rough notes become minutes, a decision becomes a RAID entry, a week of noise becomes a status update. The same palette pulls Jira issues and the active sprint into your project session, creates issues and Confluence pages once Atlassian is connected, and posts to a Slack channel with a pasted token. You stay in the document you were already writing.
How does Khint handle several projects at once?
One Memory session per project. Start a session when you switch to a project; everything you pull, capture, and run while it's active gets compacted into a short running context that later agents see. Switch the active session when you switch projects, and the status draft for project A stops knowing about project B. Sessions live in a local database on your machine and are never synced to a server.
Can Khint turn my plan into steering-committee slides?
On a Mac, yes, one slide at a time. Enable the PowerPoint companion, select the text of a slide, and run Transform to diagram from the palette. Khint picks a consulting framework for the content: milestones become a timeline with done and pending markers, risk lists become risk-to-mitigation cards, plans become process or waterfall layouts. You get a preview, palette and layout choices, and a .pptx export made of native editable shapes, not a screenshot.
Does my project data leave my machine?
Only what you explicitly act on. An agent sees the selected text plus, optionally, the active session's compact summary, nothing else. Memory sessions stay in a local SQLite file, Atlassian and Linear credentials stay in your OS keychain, and every integration write is a single explicit palette run, never a background sync.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free tier includes 300 credits a month, about 10 AI actions a day, no credit card. Paid plans start at €7/month: Pro at €29/month gives 4,000 credits a month, and every plan includes all the work integrations. Khint runs on macOS 13+ and Windows 10 22H2+; the PowerPoint diagram companion is macOS-only.
