Let's explore how Oscar, our new AI assistant for Planisware, is transforming how teams access insights, make decisions, and drive project success.

Conversation-driven project management

Remember when getting portfolio insights meant running complex reports and jumping between multiple screens? Those days are over. With Oscar, you simply ask questions in natural language and get immediate answers.

"Hey Oscar, how do I create OKRs for my portfolio?"

Within seconds, Oscar analyzes all your customer-specific and Planisware standard documentation, identifies and provides the relevant documents, and provides a summary to answer the question. 

Try asking Oscar:

• "Create a detailed schedule for the development phase of my project"
• "Show me my digital transformation portfolio's budget performance"
• "Set up and run Monte Carlo simulation for my project"

Oscar understands your organization's unique terminology and connects directly to your Planisware data, delivering personalized insights without the learning curve.

Built on an agentic layer for intelligent autonomy

At the core of Oscar’s intelligence is its agentic layer - a sophisticated combination of an orchestration agent and zero-code agent design that empowers Oscar to go beyond simple Q&A.

The orchestration agent coordinates multiple specialized agents — e.g. forecasting, risk scoring, resource optimization — sequencing them into cohesive workflows. Oscar can break down complex requests into multi-step actions, interact dynamically with your Planisware environment, and even plan and execute tasks autonomously when context allows.

This agentic layer gives Oscar the ability to:

• Handle ambiguous or high-level commands with goal-oriented reasoning
• Orchestrate multiple sub-agents across modules
• Provide guided step-by-step instructions through company-specific processes

Planisware includes several preconfigured AI agents out of the box, and additional agents can be easily set up in the “AI Agents” administration section. Thanks to zero-code agent design, defining new agent logic only requires describing the desired outcome in plain language (no coding needed). The orchestration agent handles coordination among those sub-agents, ensuring your composed workflows run coherently across modules.

The result? A truly intelligent assistant that not only responds to requests but also drives project outcomes and reduces cognitive load across your team.

For example, as shown in the demo video below:

“Oscar, help me set up Monte Carlo simulation.”
Oscar doesn’t just fetch data. It identifies the relevant project, analyzes which inputs are required, pulls the relevant Monte Carlo model, compiles a visual summary, and runs the analysis.

Enterprise-grade security built-In

We understand that data security is non-negotiable. That’s why Oscar was designed with enterprise security as a foundational principle.

Role-Based Access Control

Oscar honors your existing Planisware security settings, ensuring users only access information appropriate to their role. 

Furthermore, each AI Agent can have access restricted to specific contexts and pages of the application.

Data sovereignty compliance

Oscar processes all queries within your existing data environment boundaries and your enterprise LLM. No sensitive project or resource data leaves this secure ecosystem, making Oscar compliant with even the strictest data sovereignty requirements.

Transparency

You'll always know what documents Oscar accessed to generate answers, maintaining your governance standards.

Getting started is surprisingly easy

Oscar is available directly from the toolbar of your familiar Planisware environment. No separate logins, no complex setup – it's right there when you need it.

For Oscar to provide answers based on documentation, you’ll just need to set up a connection with your enterprise LLM.
