Xgene launches ZARMS, Google Workspace-native AI project tool

ZARMS enters a project management market where existing tools offer high customization, but users often bear the burden of defining and maintaining their own operating rules. Xgene's answer is to bundle a recommended way of working into the product itself, built on Google Workspace so teams do not have to change their daily habits.

The design reflects that philosophy: cards act as a single unit holding tasks, files, and discussion, with Google Drive folders and Docs created automatically. AI watches for overdue or stalled cards and suggests next actions, and changes are logged so the reasoning behind decisions stays visible even after handovers.

Beyond the core tool, ZARMS positions itself as a data foundation for AI agents rather than a competitor to them. From the Starter plan it offers API and MCP (Model Context Protocol, a common standard for connecting AI tools to external services) integration, letting Claude, ChatGPT, or custom systems read and write business data within administrator-approved scopes. Pricing is team-based with no per-seat surcharge, and the service is initially offered as a beta.
