Height is an AI-native project management tool that integrates AI throughout the core task management workflow rather than adding it as a bolt-on feature. The AI assistant in Height can look across your entire project history to suggest task priorities, triage incoming issues, draft subtask descriptions from brief titles, identify duplicates, and generate project status summaries. It is designed for teams who want AI to handle administrative project work rather than just assist with content.
Height supports flexible views including Kanban, list, Gantt, and calendar, with nested subtasks, custom attributes, sprint planning, and roadmap views. It integrates with GitHub, Figma, Slack, and Zapier. The keyboard-first interface is designed for engineers and product teams who want fast, minimal-click workflows.
Height has developed a strong following among early-stage and growth-stage engineering teams who want a modern, AI-integrated alternative to Jira or Linear. Users starting fresh projects without legacy tooling often choose Height for its cleaner UX and genuine AI integration. The free tier is generous for small teams; paid plans add advanced AI features, higher API limits, and admin controls.
What the community says
Positive reception in startup and engineering communities, with users highlighting the deep AI integration versus competitors where AI is clearly add-on. Developers appreciate the keyboard shortcuts and GitHub integration. Criticism includes a less polished mobile app compared to Asana or Monday and occasional complexity in the custom field system. Some users find Linear has a cleaner interface for pure engineering workflows, but Height wins on AI assistance depth for teams who want automation in task management.
