Aboard, the application that blends project management with AI, has introduced a new feature that expands its capabilities beyond just organising links and information. Founded by experienced web developers Paul Ford and Rich Ziade, Aboard initially resembled a hybrid of Trello and Pinterest but has now evolved into something more versatile.

  • Organise: Generates boards for personal planning, like activities or meal plans.

  • Research: Collects and displays relevant information on any given topic.

  • Workflow: Creates business tools, such as a claims tracker for an insurance company.

Aboard aims to streamline how teams and businesses organise data, offering a tool that adapts to various formats like tables, lists, or galleries.
