FortyOne is an AI-assisted project management platform created by Complexus to connect company strategy with the work teams deliver every day.
We designed the product around a simple question: how can a team tell whether finishing work is actually moving an objective forward? The answer became one connected system for setting goals, planning delivery, managing work, understanding risk, and acting on that context with an AI project manager.
The challenge
Most project tools record activity without explaining whether it matters. Objectives live in presentations, delivery plans in boards, engineering progress in GitHub, availability in calendars, and status is reconstructed in meetings.
This leaves teams maintaining several versions of the truth while important signals—an overloaded teammate, an unowned priority, or a slipping sprint—surface too late. We set out to create one operating layer for strategy and execution that could serve both the people doing the work and those responsible for its outcome.
From goals to daily work
FortyOne gives objectives and key results a direct relationship with the work intended to move them. Teams can shape roadmaps in timeline or list views, connect sprints to strategic goals, and follow progress without rebuilding it in a separate report.
Day-to-day execution remains practical. Work can be organised in lists or Kanban boards and planned through backlogs, active sprints, and personal My Work views. Tasks can carry priorities, estimates, assignees, dates, objectives, labels, sub-tasks, attachments, comments, and the history needed to understand how they evolved.
Maya, an AI project manager that can act
Maya was designed as part of the product rather than added as a separate chat layer. The assistant can search workspace context, answer questions, create and update work, summarise activity, and help people navigate the product.
It can also inspect workload, deadlines, sprint health, objective progress, and delivery trends. For authorised workflows, Maya can propose an owner and find calendar time using team capacity and availability. Important actions remain explicit and confirmable, preserving human control while reducing coordination work.
Delivery intelligence, not more reporting
FortyOne's Summary and Analytics experiences are designed to answer operational questions rather than simply display charts. Teams can see what has been completed, where work is slowing down, how workload is distributed, and which objectives or sprints need attention.
Workspace overviews, pulse reports, and focused analysis all use the same project data. Reporting becomes a natural extension of delivery—less time assembling status, more time deciding what to do next.
Connected beyond the workspace
GitHub integration connects FortyOne work with engineering issues and comments. Slack lets teams create work from a conversation or ask Maya a question, while Google Calendar gives planning workflows a more realistic view of availability.
The product also includes mobile access and a public portal for collecting feedback, sharing a roadmap, and publishing updates. Across the Next.js web application, Go API, Expo mobile client, and Slack bot, every experience works from the same connected workspace model.
The impact
FortyOne has grown from a project management concept into a complete platform for planning, delivering, and understanding work. Contributors have a focused place to execute, managers gain a live view of delivery health, and leaders can trace everyday effort back to strategic intent.
The result is not another board with an AI chat box attached. It is a product in which goals shape plans, plans shape daily work, and completed work updates the wider picture—our broadest expression of Complexus product thinking and engineering across web, mobile, AI, and integrations.
