Adapt the template or create a plan with AI
You can copy this example into Tability and refine it with your team. If you would rather start from your own context, use embedded AI Mode: describe what your team needs to achieve in a simple prompt and Tability will automatically create a structured OKR plan with objectives, measurable outcomes, and initiatives.
Before publishing, review the AI-generated plan with the people responsible for delivering it:
- Replace generic outcomes with measures your team can update consistently
- Set ambitious but credible targets using current performance as the baseline
- Assign an owner to every outcome and agree on what success looks like
- Remove duplicate or activity-based key results that do not prove meaningful progress
The best OKR platform for AI-bullish teams
Tability brings AI into the goal-setting and execution workflow instead of treating it as a separate writing assistant.
- Fully agentic: use an OKR agent to review plans, suggest improvements, and monitor execution
- Embedded AI Mode: create and refine goals without leaving the planning workflow
- MCP server: talk to your OKRs from Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible LLM clients
You have a plan. Now what?
Publishing the plan is the beginning of the work. Tability gives teams a simple weekly rhythm for updating outcomes, discussing confidence, and acting on problems while there is still time to change the result.
- Track progress: collect focused weekly check-ins and sync updates from tools such as Jira, ClickUp, Linear, and Asana
- Detect problems early: use confidence, status, and agent monitoring to surface stalled or at-risk outcomes before the end of the quarter
- Communicate clearly: share dashboards and reports that explain what changed, where help is needed, and what happens next
