Ayven
Product Hunt Howard Chen
Ayven is a new project-management tool that breaks up team work and files it in Jira or YouTrack. It then keeps chasing updates in Slack so plans don’t stall.

Ayven launched today with a simple pitch: stop treating planning like a separate job. The software takes an agenda, breaks it into smaller pieces, assigns each one an owner and a date, and files the work into Jira or YouTrack.
From there, it keeps going. Ayven doesn’t just set up tasks and walk away. It runs, tracks, and talks about the work for weeks, asking people who might know more, waiting on replies, chasing silence, and shifting work when someone is out.
The hook is Slack. Team members answer there, and the board changes with them. That matters because it pushes the planning chatter into the place where a lot of teams already live, instead of forcing yet another tab into the day.
Ayven is being framed as project management software, team collaboration software, and AI workflow automation all at once. That’s a lot of labels, but the core idea is clear enough: make planning less of a blocker and more of a live system that keeps nudging work forward.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the kind of AI workflow pitch that actually makes sense: less grand automation theater, more stubborn follow-through. The real win here isn’t intelligence, it’s nagging without getting tired, which is basically what a lot of project tools should have been doing all along.
