PMO Pilot is live on Microsoft Marketplace. Microsoft finished its review on October 29, so anyone with PowerPoint for Microsoft 365, on Windows, Mac or the web, can add it now.
If you haven't seen it yet: you paste the status notes, the email thread or the Excel export, check the dates it found, and get a timeline on the slide made of ordinary PowerPoint shapes. When the dates move, it moves them and keeps the tweaks you made by hand. The three-minute demo shows the whole loop.
How to install it
- In PowerPoint, select Home → Add-ins (older versions: Insert → Get Add-ins).
- Search for PMO Pilot and select Add.
- Open it from the Home tab, paste a few lines of a status update and select Generate with AI. For a spreadsheet, use Build timeline from table.
Or start from the Marketplace listing and select Get it now. There's nothing to sign up for: the free plan works without an account.
What's free and what's Pro
The free plan is meant to be useful on its own, not a trial: unlimited timelines from Excel or CSV, 3 AI timelines and 10 AI edits a month, swimlanes and dependencies, 18 timeline looks and 17 program diagrams, and your manual tweaks kept on every update.
Pro adds the AI volume (100 timelines and 300 edits a month), all 80 looks and 53 program diagrams, scenarios, plan vs actual, the monthly review and executive summary slides, risks and assumptions tables, and brand colors from your website. It's $12 a month, $99 a year or $249 once, and a $9 seven-day pass covers one big deck. Annual and lifetime come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Buy on the pricing page; the license key arrives by email and goes under Account in the add-in.
Rolling it out to a team
If your organization blocks self-installed add-ins, a Microsoft 365 admin can deploy PMO Pilot to everyone from the admin center, under Settings → Integrated apps. Timeline data stays inside the presentation. Text sent for AI parsing is used for that request only, isn't stored and isn't used to train models; the privacy policy has the details.
Tell us what's missing
We read everything that comes in at contact@getpmopilot.com and through Account → Report a problem in the add-in, and what we change shows up in the changelog. If PMO Pilot saved you an evening of nudging shapes before a steering committee, a rating on the Marketplace listing helps the next project manager find it.
