What is an AI sprint summary?

An AI sprint summary is an automatically generated report of everything your team completed in a cycle. When you close a cycle in Kanbanq, the AI names it, lists the tasks that shipped, shows each person's contribution and emails the full summary to every collaborator on the board. No manual write-up needed.

How does Kanbanq generate the AI sprint summary?

When you mark a cycle as complete, Kanbanq sends the completed task data to its AI engine. The AI generates a plain-English summary covering what shipped, who worked on what and what came next. It then emails the summary to every collaborator on the board automatically.

What is a cycle in Kanbanq?

Kanbanq uses the word cycle instead of sprint. A cycle is a completed batch of work: you add tasks, work through them and close the cycle when done. There are no enforced dates or deadlines. Kanbanq AI then names the cycle based on what was completed and generates the summary, whether your team ships weekly or monthly.

Is the AI sprint summary included in the free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes a trial of AI cycle summaries with no time limit on the trial. You can close cycles and receive AI summaries on the free plan. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited AI summaries across all your workspaces.

How is Kanbanq's AI sprint summary different from a retrospective?

A retrospective is a scheduled meeting requiring everyone's time. An AI sprint summary is automatic. It generates the moment you close a cycle, requires no meeting, no facilitator and no manual write-up. It covers what shipped and who contributed, leaving the retrospective conversation up to you if you want to have one.

Which teams benefit most from AI sprint summaries?

Remote and async teams benefit most because the AI email lands in everyone's inbox without a synchronous catch-up. Small teams and freelancers benefit because there is no one whose job it is to write up the update. Creative agencies use the summaries for client updates and billing reference.

Does the AI summary work for non-software teams?

Yes. Kanbanq AI summaries work for any team that completes work in batches: creative agencies, design studios, content creators, student groups, production teams and freelancers. The AI summarises whatever tasks were completed, regardless of the type of work.

What data does the AI see when generating a summary?

The AI sees the names of completed tasks, the assigned team members and the cycle name. It does not see task descriptions, comments or attached files. The output is a plain-English summary of what shipped and who contributed. No sensitive data is exposed.

Done working? Your team gets the update.

Close a cycle and Kanbanq AI generates a full sprint summary: what shipped, who contributed and what is next. It emails every collaborator on the board automatically.

An AI sprint summary tool is software that automatically generates a written report of a completed sprint, covering what tasks shipped, who contributed and what is next, without any manual write-up or team meeting required. In Kanbanq, sprints are called cycles.

Kanbanq's AI sprint summary tool activates when you close a cycle: the AI names the cycle based on what shipped, writes a plain-English summary of every completed task and team member's contribution, and emails it to every collaborator on the board automatically.

The sprint recap nobody has to write.

Kanbanq AI handles the documentation so your team can focus on the next sprint.
