Smartsheet is spreadsheet-driven project management. Lova takes a different approach: tell AI what you're working on, and it creates and manages the project for you — for any kind of project, not just software.
Smartsheet brings project management to teams that think in spreadsheets. Its grid-based approach is familiar but limits collaboration and real-time communication.
Conversation-first. Instead of configuring boards and workflows, you describe your project in plain language. Lova creates the board, columns, and tasks from the conversation.
AI narration. No one writes status reports. Lova watches the board and tells leads what changed, what is blocked, and what needs attention.
Agent-ready. External agents can claim tasks, report status, and post to chat through the API. Your CI pipeline, AI coding assistant, or deployment scripts become project participants.
