About Zack Swafford

Dart is the only truly AI-native project management tool. It uses AI to assist with brainstorming, roadmap planning, report generation, breaking tasks into subtasks, duplicate detection, and even executing basic tasks. Teams use Dart in order to plan better and eliminate regular PM chores from their schedule, freeing up seven hours per week to focus on other work. It\'s used by growing teams that are iterating quickly across a diverse set of tasks in engineering, design, sales, and more.As the first engineer at Plenty I laid the groundwork for our full stack application suite, data pipeline, and ML and CV processes that bridged the gaps between software systems, data, and users. We saw really quick and fun growth at the company and I hired most of the engineers on the team, building and managing an org of dozens of engineers, product managers, and others.
