AI integration

The Gantt chart ships with an AI feature that lets users interact with project data using natural language through a chat panel. Users can filter tasks, update schedules, toggle critical paths, and more — all using conversational commands.

The Gantt AI feature builds on top of the Scheduler AI feature. Please read both of these guides first:

• Grid AI integration guide — covers setup, backend configuration, API plugins, custom tools, voice features, user settings, and more
• Scheduler AI integration guide — covers event tools and the defaultRange config

All configurations described in those guides apply to the Gantt as well.

Minimum configuration

import { Gantt, OpenAIPlugin } from '@bryntum/gantt';

const gantt = new Gantt({
    features : {
        ai : {
            promptUrl  : '/api/ai/prompt',
            apiPlugin  : OpenAIPlugin,
            model      : 'gpt-4-1',
            chatButton : true
        }
    }
});

Default date range

Like the Scheduler, the Gantt has a defaultRange config. For Gantt, it defaults to 'all':

features : {
    ai : {
        defaultRange : 'all'  // 'timeline' | 'in-view' | 'all'
    }
}

Additional tools

In addition to the Grid tools and Scheduler tools, the Gantt adds project-specific tools:

Tool	Description
getChildren	Retrieves child tasks for a parent task
criticalPath	Enables/disables the CriticalPaths feature
tableSections	Changes visible table columns

The base tools (changeTheme, askUser, createPlan, completePlanSteps, undo, endVoiceConversation) are also available. See the Grid AI guide for details on planning and base tools.
