Turn any spec into a planyou can actually trust
CitedPlan reads your PRDs, specs, and meeting notes and turns them into a structured board — epics, stories, subtasks, and dependencies — where every task cites the exact line it came from.
No credit card required · 3 free extractions to start
Users must sign in with email or Google before accessing a workspace.
Uploaded documents are parsed and broken into epics and stories automatically.
The board cannot ship extraction before auth is done.

How it works
From document to plan in four steps
No blank backlog. No hours of manual grooming. Feed CitedPlan the doc you already wrote.
Add your source
Paste text or upload a .txt, .md, .pdf, or .docx — a PRD, spec, RFC, SOW, or meeting notes. Files upload straight to secure storage and are parsed server-side.
AI extracts the plan
A multi-step pipeline reads the document and generates epics, stories, subtasks, priorities, and estimates — then infers which tasks block which, with progress streaming live.
Review with grounded chat
Every task cites the exact source line it came from. Ask the built-in assistant why a task exists, or request an edit — it proposes the change and waits for your confirmation.
Work the board
Drag stories across Kanban columns, tweak priorities, toggle subtasks, and filter by epic. Keep planning in CitedPlan while your team keeps shipping.
Features
Built for plans you can defend
The output isn't just fast — it's structured, grounded, and safe to hand to your team.
Cited, traceable extraction
Every epic, story, and subtask carries the verbatim source excerpt it was generated from. Click a task to see exactly which line of the doc justifies it — no black-box guesses.
Hierarchical, not a flat list
CitedPlan produces a real structure — epics broken into stories, stories broken into subtasks — with priorities and estimates, ready to plan a sprint around.
Dependency inference
A dedicated pass over the whole plan suggests which tasks block others and which merely relate, so you surface the critical path before you start, not after.
Grounded chat that asks first
The assistant answers with citations from your source and the live board. Edit requests come back as a proposal you explicitly confirm — it never rewrites your backlog behind your back.
Bring any source
Pasted text, Markdown, PDFs, and Word docs all funnel into one structured board. Scanned/image-only PDFs are flagged clearly instead of failing silently.
Secure multi-tenant by design
Auth on every request and row-level security at the database enforce that you only ever see your own workspace's data — defense in depth, not an afterthought.
Why CitedPlan
What we offer that others don't
Anyone can turn a doc into tasks. Turning it into a plan you can trust is the hard part.
Provenance on every task
✕Others: Generate tasks from a prompt with no way to check them.
✓Each task links back to the exact source line — trust, not guesswork.
A plan, not a pile
✕Others: Return a flat checklist you still have to structure yourself.
✓Epics, stories, subtasks, and a dependency graph you can plan around.
An agent that asks first
✕Others: Let AI silently edit your data, or don't let it edit at all.
✓Proposes every change and applies it only after you confirm.
Re-plan when the spec changes
Coming soon✕Others: Treat generation as one-and-done; re-running clobbers your work.
✓Your source is saved, so you can re-extract and review what changed.
Complements your tracker
Coming soon✕Others: Force you to migrate into yet another place to store tasks.
✓Designed to sync the finished plan into the tools you already use.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Extraction is grounded in your document: every epic, story, and subtask stores the verbatim excerpt it was generated from, and the output is validated against a strict schema before it's saved. The chat assistant answers from retrieved source passages and the live board, and cites what it used.
