Hire your AI Project Manager.
Save the budget you'd spend building the product.
ShipAlly lives in Slack, Teams, Git, your inbox, the browser — and your AI coding agent. It acts on the project, instead of waiting to be opened.

Lives where work already happens.
Other PM tools sit on a tab waiting to be opened. ShipAlly goes to the work — Slack, Git, your inbox, the browser, your AI coding agent. The dashboard is the audit trail, not the workplace.
Slack & Teams. A transcript dropped into a channel threads itself into the right project. @Ally answers questions in the channel you're already in.
Email. Forward a customer thread; the next time you ask about that customer, Ally surfaces what they said and what you owe them.
Git. A PR sitting open more than a day gets a polite nudge in the contributor's DMs — not a ticket nobody opens.
The browser. The ShipAlly Anywhere extension grabs a Stripe metric or competitor pricing page into the right project — no dashboard visit required.
The dashboard is where you check what happened — not where the work happens.
Proactive, not passive.
A passive tool stores what you put in. A real Project Manager plans the work, tracks progress, and keeps the team in sync. ShipAlly does all three — and asks before it changes anything that matters.
Plans the work. Drop a transcript or a draft brief — Ally scaffolds the milestones, tasks and dependencies. You confirm; she fills the rest. The plan exists by the time the kickoff ends.
Tracks the team's pulse. Commit cadence, PR throughput, transcript tone. Friday at 4:32 PM a DM lands with delivery health, what slipped, and what needs a decision before Monday.
Catches what's stalling. A task blocked > 24 hours nudges the assignee in their DMs. Risks surface as “this could slip” days before the burndown shows it.
Speaks for the team. Decisions logged where they're made. Stakeholder updates and stand-up recaps auto-drafted from real activity. You review, send — no Friday-evening status round-up.

Hiring a human PM
The headline budget comparison.
$110k+ /yr · 6–8 wk hire
A salary line, a four-to-eight-week hiring cycle, plus benefits and ramp-up time before any project gets managed.
The runway you'd spend building the actual product. The first PM hire pulls roughly 1× engineer's worth of cash out of the build budget.
→ ShipAlly
A SaaS line one-to-two orders of magnitude smaller. Coverage from day one — no hire, no ramp.
Doing PM yourself
The founder-hours comparison.
~12 hrs / week
Your most expensive hours redirected from product, vision and customers into tickets, status updates and sprint admin.
The decisions only the founder can make. Every hour in a status meeting is an hour not in the product or with a customer.
→ ShipAlly
Captures, structures and runs the rhythm in the background. Founder-hours go back to product, vision and customers.
A PM tool — with or without a chatbot
The operating-model comparison.
Seats × license + context-switching tax
A ticket store in another tab. The work still happens in chat, in PRs, in email — and someone still has to feed the tool.
Adding a chatbot to a ticket store does not make a project manager. It just gives the ticket store a microphone.
→ ShipAlly
Inverts the model: lives where work happens, prompts when something needs you, and treats the dashboard as the audit log.
Two numbers,
one decision.

For the engineer who'd bring this in
The PM tax — the standups, the status pings, the “any blockers?” loops — is automated. The rhythm stays. Your meetings get back to deciding.
Reachable from your AI coding agent. One config line and Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf moves the Story while it ships the code. ShipAlly's MCP server exposes a deliberately simpler entity model — Idea → Epic → Story → Sub-task — so the agent doesn't have to prompt-engineer around the schema baggage typical PM tools carry.
Anchored against a human PM,
not another seat price.
Four tiers. Every one of them is one-to-two orders of magnitude smaller than a PM salary. Start free; upgrade when ShipAlly is doing more than a Freemium project allows.

You will not be opening a dashboard to start. You'll forward an email or drop a transcript into Slack — and Ally will do the rest.
