Zippy AI
Zippy, the AI assistant inside Zinger
Your AI strategist, analyst and coach. Above all, a teammate.
Zippy is the AI assistant built into Zinger, the project and portfolio management platform. It drafts your project charter from a short interview and coaches your objectives towards SMART. You approve every change, and Zippy never makes up numbers.
What is Zippy?
Zippy is the intelligence inside Zinger. It isn't a chatbot bolted on the side — it's an intelligence layer across the whole platform, working with the project and portfolio data you already hold in Zinger.
Describe your project in your own words and Zippy turns the blank page into a working draft — then hands the controls straight back to you.
What does Zippy do?
- Drafts your project charter. Objectives, deliverables, benefits, priority and timeline — proposed from a short interview about your project.
- Coaches you towards SMART objectives. Zippy flags any objective missing a measurable target or a date, before it ever reaches a gate review.
- Checks stage-gate readiness. Ask whether a project is ready for the next stage gate, and Zippy checks the phase and flags what's missing before the review.
- Surfaces emerging risks. Zippy surfaces the risks that need attention across the portfolio.
- Prioritises at-risk projects — and explains why. Ask which projects are most at risk of missing strategic objectives.
- Prepares concise executive briefings. What a leader needs to know about the portfolio, in brief.
What will Zippy not do?
- It never makes up numbers. Financials stay in your hands. Zippy drafts words and structure, not figures it can't stand behind.
- It never changes your work without asking. Each proposal is accepted or rejected section by section. Zippy fills gaps — it never silently overwrites your work.
- It doesn't replace you. Zippy prepares the decision — and nothing happens without your approval.
What does a Zippy draft look like?
Zippy proposes; you decide. Each section of a draft arrives as a proposal you can accept or reject, with a note where something still needs your attention.
- Reduce order processing time by 20% by Q4 2026.
- Establish a single intake process across all three regions.
- Deliver the new CRM rollout to 400 users by 31 March 2027.
