AI-powered

What does AI-powered project management look like in TransformRadar?

TransformRadar is AI-powered project management and governance. The AI reads a project’s own structured record — plan, delivery backlog, governance log, weekly status, Programme Health and value — and drafts the weekly synthesis, the status report, the governance review, value drivers and the steering pack. It never invents, every output is schema-validated, and a named person confirms every draft.

The rule that shapes every AI feature: reframe, never invent

Every prompt TransformRadar sends to a model carries the structured data that licenses every factual claim in the answer, and instructs the model to mention nothing outside that data. The output is validated against a schema before anyone sees it; raw model text is never rendered. A banned-phrase list catches the hedging and the filler. And every AI-produced artefact is a draft that a named person edits and approves — nothing is circulated automatically, and nothing is written to the record without an explicit confirmation.

The consequence is that the AI is exactly as good as the record. That is deliberate. A steering pack drafted from a live plan, a maintained governance log and a scored health assessment is worth reading. One drafted from a model’s general sense of how programmes go is not.

If the AI provider is slow or unavailable, each feature degrades to a deterministic summary or an empty state. A broken page is not an acceptable failure mode for a status report.

What the AI drafts, workspace by workspace

Each workspace has one AI job, and it always ends in a draft the owner of that workspace reviews.

Weekly synthesis
A narrative of what changed on the project this week — slipped tasks, governance movement, delivery progress — connected into something a steering group member reads in two minutes.
Weekly status report
Lowlights, activities, decisions needed and escalations, filled from the live plan and governance data. The project lead edits every field before submitting.
Governance review
A read of the governance log that surfaces what is stale, unowned, or contradicted by the plan.
Value drivers
Proposed benefits and measures drawn from the project’s context, which the lead refines before saving.
Steering pack narratives
The pre-meeting pack’s sections, summarising what moved since the last steering meeting across status, health, governance, plan, delivery and value.
Project context brief
A lead-curated brief, optionally grounded in text extracted from uploaded documents, that every other prompt reads first so the model knows what the programme is for.

Blip: ask the project, or ask it to prepare a change

Blip is the assistant inside every project workspace and on My work. It answers from the live record — what is overdue, what changed in delivery, which risks are open without an owner — and reads exactly the data the screens show, nothing else.

Blip can also prepare a change: log a risk, create a task or a delivery item, update a status draft. The change appears as a confirmation card showing what will be written and what it looked like before. You approve, or you do not. Blip never commits a change on its own, and it acts strictly as you, inside your own permissions on the project.

Bring your own AI agent over MCP

TransformRadar is a Model Context Protocol server. An organisation can allow Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Google Gemini or Mistral Vibe to connect; the agent then acts as the signed-in user, with that user’s project roles, through the same governed actions the buttons in the product use. Reads come with access, writes are switched on separately in tiers, and every write is a preview the user confirms. The MCP access page explains how to connect.

Where the AI runs, and what happens to your data

Inference runs on Mistral La Plateforme in Paris. Hosting, the database, file storage, email and AI are all European providers, and none of them trains on customer data. Every AI call is logged with who triggered it and which artefact it relates to; the prompt and completion are retained for thirty days for review and then removed, while the metadata is kept for cost analysis.

The one sanctioned exception is MCP: when you connect your own agent, that agent’s provider handles the conversation, which is why an Org Admin has to acknowledge the egress before switching external access on.

It works on a six-week project as well as a three-year programme

A new project starts with a plan and a weekly status, and the AI drafts from those two from the first week. Governance, Programme Health, value realisation, steering and the agile delivery backlog are switched on per project when a project needs them, and each one becomes another input the AI can draft from. Nothing about the AI layer assumes a large programme.

What it is not, yet

TransformRadar’s AI today is synthesis and preparation: it reads, drafts and proposes. It does not chase task owners, it does not watch the record continuously and raise anomalies on its own, and it does not negotiate with other systems’ agents. Those are the next steps, and the blog sets out the direction. What will not change is the rule at the top of this page: it reframes your data, it never invents, and a person confirms.

Questions people ask

Does the AI make things up?
No. Every prompt carries the project data that licenses every claim and forbids anything outside it, every output is validated against a schema before it is shown, and a person edits every draft before it goes anywhere. If the record does not contain a reason for something, the AI says so rather than inventing one.
Can the AI change my plan or status without me?
No. AI features produce drafts. Blip and connected agents can prepare a change, but it appears as a preview that you confirm, and nothing is written to the record until you do.
Which AI model does TransformRadar use?
Mistral La Plateforme, hosted in Paris. The provider does not train on the data sent to it, and prompts and completions do not leave the EU.
Is my project data used to train AI models?
No. No provider in TransformRadar’s chain trains on customer data, and that is a condition of being in the chain at all.
Can I use Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor with TransformRadar?
Yes, through the Model Context Protocol. An Org Admin enables external access and chooses the allowed clients; the agent then acts as you, within your roles, and every write it prepares is a preview you confirm.
Does the AI need a big programme to be useful?
No. A project that only has a plan and a weekly status gets AI-drafted status and weekly synthesis from the first week. The other workspaces add inputs as they are switched on.
