Forecast Rebuilds Its Mobile App and Hooks It into AI Assistants

Forecast, a SaaS platform for project and resource management, has rolled out a fully rebuilt mobile app for iOS and Android, according to its latest release notes. The service is popular with software teams and consulting firms that need one place to handle projects, capacity planning and financial forecasting, and the new app is meant to make that easier when people are away from their desks.

The refresh focuses on faster task updates and time entry on the go, but the most notable change is deeper integration with Forecast’s AI features. The company now offers a "Forecast MCP server" that lets external AI assistants tap into project data: with the right setup, you could ask your in‑house chatbot, “What’s the status of this week’s deliveries?” and get a summary generated from Forecast without opening the app yourself.

In an era of remote and hybrid work, turning project tools into something AI can query and update is becoming a trend, and Forecast’s latest mobile release is a concrete example of that shift. For teams that already live inside chat tools or voice assistants, it points toward a future where they interact with project data conversationally rather than through traditional dashboards alone.
