About "COMMU"
What is COMMU?
COMMU (Commu) is a made-in-Japan project management tool from Curious Edge, Inc. that uses a chatbot to help projects move forward. It manages tasks as "tickets" and visualizes progress with Gantt charts. Its defining feature is an AI chatbot that tells you which tasks to tackle that day and which tickets have approaching deadlines, and nudges you to update your progress. The company describes it as "Japan's first AI project management service."
COMMU is still online, but its app and website appear not to have been updated in a long time (the mobile app's last update and the site's assets date to 2018–2019). There is no end-of-service announcement, but its features and pricing may be frozen at that time, so please check the official site for the latest status (as of August 2026).
The chatbot tells you "what to do today"
With most project management tools, once you log a task you often have to go look to know its status. COMMU's AI chatbot presents the day's tasks in order of nearest deadline at the start of each day, automatically checks progress, and nudges for updates at the right time. It aims to prevent missed reports and dropped tasks, keeping the project moving.

How COMMU compares to other project management tools
COMMU is a made-in-Japan tool that adds deadline-driven AI chatbot notifications on top of "tickets × Gantt × Wiki." It takes a different direction from document-first, all-in-one tools.
| Aspect | COMMU | Notion | Taskade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Focus | Ticket (task) management + AI alerts | Document/DB-centric | Tasks & outlines + AI |
| Strength | Today's tasks & progress nudges | Free-form page design | Lightweight collaboration |
| Language | Japanese only | Multilingual | Multilingual |
If you also want to manage documents in one place, Notion is a good comparison, and for lightweight, AI-assisted task management there is Taskade. COMMU is an option when you want ticket-centric progress management combined with AI reminders — but we recommend checking its update status before adopting it.
