Is the AI project tracker generator free?

Yes. You can build project trackers on the free plan. Paid plans raise the usage limits and include more credits for Premium mode.

What is in the workbook?

Two sheets. Tasks has columns for Task, Owner, Start, Due, Status, and Notes, with real date cells, a frozen header row, and columns sized so names and notes are readable. Summary has one row per status (Not started, In progress, Blocked, Done) with a COUNTIF formula over the Tasks sheet, plus a total row.

Does it assign owners and dates for me?

It fills in the owners and dates you gave it. Where you did not name an owner, the cell is left blank rather than guessed, so nobody ends up on a task they never agreed to.

Can I change the status list?

The dropdown ships with Not started, In progress, Blocked, and Done. Ask askROI for different statuses and it rebuilds the workbook with the new list and matching summary rows, or edit the data validation in your spreadsheet app.

Will it open in Google Sheets?

Yes. It is a standard Excel file and opens in Google Sheets and LibreOffice with the formulas, the date cells, and the status dropdown intact.

How it works

Describe the project, its tasks, the people involved, and the key dates.
askROI builds an Excel workbook with a Tasks sheet (Task, Owner, Start, Due, Status, Notes) and a Summary sheet that counts tasks by status with COUNTIF formulas.
Download it, set each task's status from the dropdown and watch the summary update, or ask askROI to add tasks or move dates.

What people use it for

Small team projects: one shared file with tasks, supplied owners and dates, and blank owner cells for unassigned work.
Events: the venue, the suppliers, and the deadlines, with a count of what is still open.
Launches and releases: track the last stretch to a ship date and see how much is blocked.
Personal projects: a house move or a renovation broken into tasks with dates you can hold to.
