How to use AI for project planning
Build a project plan from checked decisions, unresolved assumptions and a concrete next action.

Gather relevant history
Start a planning note with the desired outcome and deadline. Find earlier project notes and decisions, then link the specific material that informs this plan. Do not assume all past projects were retrieved.
Separate commitments from suggestions
Ask Lumi to extract proposed owners, dates and dependencies from the chosen sources. Mark fields with no support as unknown. Confirm commitments with the people involved before turning them into tasks.
Maintain the decision log
Record each decision, its date, reasoning and source. Add changes explicitly rather than letting an older deadline stand silently. A linked note is not an automatic update to a project-management tool.
Review the outcome
After a milestone, compare the actual result with the plan and write what changed. Turn useful parts into a reusable checklist yourself; this guide does not assume automatic template detection.
Put this into practice
tentus makes it practical. Capture, connect, and retrieve with Lumi working in the background.
