Describe your project once and get a working dashboard back: status by phase, an owner on every task, due dates, blockers, and a rollup of what is left. It opens as an editable Taskade project, so you can switch it into Table, Board, Calendar, or Gantt without rebuilding anything. No spreadsheet formulas, no BI connector, no signup wall.
TL;DR: Most project dashboards are read-only snapshots of data that already went stale. Taskade generates a dashboard that is the project — edit a task and the dashboard updates, because they are the same object. Seven views, real-time sharing, and AI agents that keep it current.

What Is a Project Dashboard?
A project dashboard is one screen that answers "where does this project stand right now" — progress against milestones, who owns what, which dates are at risk, and how much of the budget is burned. Conventional dashboards read from a separate source of truth, so they drift the moment somebody updates a task elsewhere. Taskade collapses the two layers: the dashboard is the working project, so the status you see is never a copy. When you need a narrower lens, generate a project KPI tracker, a status report, a project timeline, or a deliverable tracker alongside it.
Live Project, Not a Snapshot: What You Get vs a Plain Dashboard Tool
Most "dashboard builders" ask you to pipe data in from somewhere else, then keep the pipe alive. Taskade skips that step entirely — the tasks your team already checks off are the data.
| Capability | Typical dashboard tool | Taskade |
|---|---|---|
| Data source | Manual import or BI connector | The project itself, zero sync |
| Editing | Read-only tiles | Every field editable in place |
| Layouts | One fixed grid | 7 project views, one dataset |
| Setup | Hours of field mapping | One prompt |
| Progress rollup | Formulas you maintain | Automatic from task completion |
| Stakeholder access | Paid viewer seats | Share link, 7-tier roles, public embed |
| Staying current | Somebody's Friday chore | AI agents and automations |
How to Generate a Project Dashboard
Open the generator above and start from the live dashboard, or build your own from scratch: in your workspace, click "➕New project" and choose "🤖 AI Project Studio".
Describe the work in plain language — scope, phases, team size, deadline. "Q3 website replatform, six people, twelve weeks, launch September 30" is enough to start.
Set the project type in the drop-downs, or upload seed sources such as a brief, a scope doc, or last quarter's plan so the dashboard starts from real numbers.
Open Table view and add custom fields for status, owner, priority, and effort. Those fields become your dashboard columns.
Flip into Gantt for dependencies and slack, Board for status lanes, or Calendar for the delivery week — same data, no rebuild.
Share the link with stakeholders, then customize the project so it reads the way your team already talks.
Which View Should Your Dashboard Use?
One dataset, seven views. Match the view to the question you keep getting asked instead of maintaining a separate report for each one.
| Question you get asked | Use this view |
|---|---|
| "What is the status of everything?" | Table, with sortable custom fields |
| "What is stuck?" | Board, where blocked lanes are obvious |
| "Will we hit the date?" | Gantt, which includes the timeline and slack |
| "What ships this week?" | Calendar |
| "Who owns what?" | Org Chart |
| "How does this all connect?" | Mind Map |
Build Your Whole Reporting Stack From One Prompt
The dashboard is the hub. Generate the satellites from the same workspace so numbers never disagree:
AI Project Dashboard — the Taskade Genesis version, published as a live app with its own link.
Project Budget Burn Rate Calculator — put spend-to-date next to progress-to-date.
Resource Allocation and Project Schedule — see who is overloaded before the date slips.
Project Bottleneck Identifier and Project Issue Tracker — turn a red tile into a named owner and a due date.
Project Forecasting and OKR generator — connect this quarter's delivery to the objective it serves.
Team Dashboard and OKR Dashboard — roll several projects up to a portfolio view.
Project health scorecards and client status reports — let automations do the reporting pass.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AI project dashboard generator free?
Yes. Generating a project dashboard is included on the Free plan, with no credit card and no watermark. Every new account gets a one-time 6,000-credit grant — 1,000 when you verify your email and 5,000 on your first build — which is sized to fund a complete first project. Paid plans start at $10/month total for up to 10 members, billed annually ($20 monthly), when you need more usage or a bigger team.
How do I make a project dashboard without spreadsheets?
Describe the project to AI Project Studio and it builds the structure for you — phases, tasks, owners, and dates. Add custom fields for status and priority, then read it in Table view. Because progress rolls up from task completion, there are no formulas to write and nothing to re-link when the plan changes.
What should a project dashboard actually show?
Five things cover most stakeholder questions: percent complete against milestones, task owner, next due date, open blockers, and budget burned versus budget planned. Taskade renders all five from the same project, so you are not reconciling a report against reality. Add a KPI tracker if leadership wants outcome metrics rather than delivery metrics.
Can I track multiple projects on one dashboard?
Yes. Keep each project in its own file for day-to-day execution, then generate a team dashboard or an OKR dashboard as the portfolio layer. Workspace-wide search and tags pull tasks across projects, and an agent can compile a weekly rollup into a single view so you brief from one screen instead of six.
Does it show a timeline or Gantt chart?
Yes. Switch to Gantt view and your tasks render as bars with dependencies, slack, and critical path — the timeline is part of Gantt, not a separate view you have to maintain. Change a date in Table view and the Gantt updates immediately, since both views read the same underlying tasks.
Can I share the dashboard with clients or executives?
Yes. Share one link and stakeholders see live status without a paid seat. Seven permission tiers, from Owner down to Viewer, let you decide who edits versus who only reads, and you can embed the dashboard as a public page on a status site. Everyone stays in sync in real time, so nobody asks for a fresh export.
Can automations keep the dashboard up to date?
Yes. Automations can move a task when its status changes, nudge an owner before a due date, or post a summary to Slack on a schedule. With 100+ integrations you can pull activity in from Jira, GitHub, Google Sheets, or Slack so status updates itself.
Which AI models power the generator?
Taskade routes generation through 15+ frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and open-weight providers, and you can pick the model per task. AI agents ship with 34 built-in tools, so an agent assigned to your dashboard can research a risk, summarize a standup, or draft the weekly status report without leaving the project.
