AI Assistant and model setup

Ask about the roadmap beside your canvas, prepare updates and review drafts from your notes. Roadmap Flow runs its AI models on your Windows PC.

Set up AI

Open AI on this device from Account, the Assistant or the workspace picker. Setup is optional. The screen names each model, its version, purpose and disk size before you download it. Download Qwen3-4B, then choose Turn on AI. You can cancel setup and resume a partial download later.

Qwen3-4B interprets questions and drafts suggestions. The optional BGE-small-en-v1.5 model uses about 36.7 MB and helps find items by meaning. Model details opens the publisher's page. Downloads need an internet connection. Your roadmap text is processed on this PC. Speed depends on your computer and the length of your notes.

Ask your roadmap

Open Assistant, choose an example question or write your own. Answers use the current roadmap's saved items and recorded changes. Open the linked items to inspect the source. Questions about a week use recorded changes in that period. They cannot recover changes made before recording began.

For a question about one item, the search can offer up to three possible matches. Choose the intended item before reading the answer. Recent requests keeps the last 20 distinct requests per roadmap on this device. Select one to run it again against the current data, or clear history.

Review drafts and possible links

Under Actions, use Draft roadmap items with AI to turn planning notes into editable drafts. Check the source excerpts and possible existing work. Choose which drafts to add. Blank owners or dates need your decision.

Find missing dependencies with AI looks for wording suggesting that one item needs another first. Compare the two items and the excerpt, then choose Connect or Dismiss in the review. A suggestion is a possible link for you to judge. Some roadmaps will have no supported suggestions.

In Diagrams, Shorten with AI compares a suggested label with your original. Draft from notes with AI proposes a flowchart or swimlane from rough notes or a transcript. Review every step, owner and connection against the source excerpts before creating the diagram. AI can miss or misorder steps.

Prepare an update

Prepare weekly update shares its draft with Progress. Choose a week or exact dates. Copy highlights or the full recorded change list. In busier periods, AI can pick highlights from the recorded facts for your review.

Turn AI off or remove a model
