What is Ping?

Ping is an AI task manager for small teams that keeps private to-dos separate from shared Kanban boards. It turns voice notes, photos, Gmail, Slack and ChatGPT conversations into tasks, runs on web, iOS, Android, Windows and macOS, and charges one flat price for teams of up to 15.

Ping is a task manager built around a split that most productivity apps handle badly: the private list each person keeps for themselves and the shared board a team works from. Rather than forcing one model on both, Ping keeps a personal to-do view separate from shared Kanban boards, so an individual can plan their own day while still seeing what the team needs from them. It is aimed at small teams, and the homepage is explicit about the ceiling: the Team plan covers up to 15 people at a flat price instead of per-seat billing. The capture layer is where the AI does its work. Tasks can be dictated by voice, pulled from photos, converted from starred emails in Gmail, lifted out of Slack messages, or created from a ChatGPT conversation. The point is to avoid retyping something that already exists somewhere else. An AI Task Assistant handles planning help, and tasks carry deadlines, reminders, recurring schedules and colored tags. A Google Calendar integration puts task deadlines into the calendar, and smart notifications handle follow-up. In daily use the pattern is capture first, sort later. Something arrives as a voice note, a photographed sticky note or a Slack thread, becomes a task, and then lands either on a private list or a shared board where it can be assigned and tracked. Projects group related work, and progress tracking shows where things stand. Individual users get planning buckets for today, this week and later; teams get assignment and a shared view. Ping competes with mainstream task managers that charge per seat and treat AI capture as an add-on. Its pitch is narrower and cheaper for small groups: one flat team price, capture from the tools a team already uses, and a clear wall between personal focus and team visibility. The free tier is genuinely usable, which makes it a low-risk comparison against heavier project tools.

How do you use Ping?

  1. 1Create your account and start on the free tier
    Sign up through the web app to get the free plan: unlimited tasks, tags, recurring tasks and reminders, plus 3 projects and the Slack and ChatGPT integrations. Mobile and desktop apps use the same account.

  2. 2Capture tasks the AI way
    Add work by dictating it, photographing a note or whiteboard, or converting an email. The capture features turn that raw input into a titled task with a date, so nothing has to be rewritten by hand.

  3. 3Set up shared Kanban boards for the team
    Move from your private list to shared boards, where work is assigned and progress is visible at a glance. Boards and unlimited projects require the Pro tier or a Team seat.

  4. 4Connect Gmail, Calendar, Slack and ChatGPT
    Link the tools your team already uses. Starred email becomes tasks, deadlines appear in Google Calendar, Slack messages convert to tasks and ChatGPT conversations can create them.

  5. 5Let the AI Task Assistant help plan
    Use the assistant inside the app for help deciding what to do next and organising incoming work. Ask it directly or work through the ChatGPT integration, then adjust dates and reminders yourself.
