Planning a launch week with one sentence
One goal in, a week of tasks out. How the planner splits work, picks dates and keeps the calendar honest when things move.

Most plans fail on the second day, when the first thing slips and nobody moves the rest. The planner is built for that second day. You give it one sentence, it gives you a week, and it keeps that week honest.
One sentence in
Write the goal the way you would say it to a colleague: launch the new pricing page on Friday, with a mail to customers and a post on LinkedIn. Orbi asks at most two questions, usually about who does what, and then drafts the plan.
A week of tasks out
The plan lists every task with an owner, a date and an estimate. Writing gets the mornings, reviews go after lunch, and nothing is scheduled on top of a meeting you already have.
Tasks with owners, dates and estimates
Drafts for the mail and the post, in your tone
A buffer on the last day, because there is always something
The plan is a proposal. Nothing is final until you say yes.
When things move
Something always moves. When a task runs late, Orbi shifts what depends on it, keeps what does not, and tells you what changed in one message. If the deadline itself is at risk, it says so on Tuesday instead of Thursday night.
Try it
Open the planner, type the goal and press enter. The first plan takes about ten seconds.
