Nodes & Links

Nodes & Links is an AI-assisted project-controls platform that reads Primavera-style schedules and related files so planners and executives can ask natural-language questions, run assurance checks, and generate auditable delay narratives.

Nodes & Links blends two modes: an AI assistant for conversational schedule intelligence and a platform mode for traditional assurance without sending data to public large language models (Nodes & Links, 2026). Marketing stresses alignment with P6-style principles, API coverage, and models that stay inside the customer environment for ISO 27001-certified deployments.

Day-to-day tasks include summarising schedule quality, comparing updates to baselines, explaining critical-path movement, and drafting monthly reports from live data instead of static slides (Nodes & Links, 2026). The site argues that most schedules contain broken logic and stale links, and that continuous scans flag those issues before they distort forecasts.

Risk workflows move beyond one-off workshops: the assistant runs ongoing what-if checks, stresses the critical path, and ties insights to cost and finish exposure when teams feed complete updates (Nodes & Links, 2026). Customer quotes on the homepage reference multi-month schedule recoveries and faster delay analyses, which are anecdotal but illustrate intended outcomes.

Pricing is not listed publicly; the call to action is a demo or free trial signup with a work email. Confirm how many schedules, environments, and regions are in scope, and document model-training assertions in your security questionnaire before you upload owner programmes.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Speaks planner language while remaining approachable for executives
  • Offers a non-AI mode for regulated owners
  • Strong emphasis on auditability and ISO 27001 posture
  • Integrates with P6-style workflows and APIs per marketing copy

Cons

  • Requires clean schedule updates to produce trustworthy answers
  • Heavy narrative on the site; validate claims in a proof of concept
  • Public pricing is absent
  • Change management is needed so teams trust AI summaries

Key features

  • AI mode: Natural-language Q&A on schedules with step-by-step reasoning the vendor describes as auditable (Nodes & Links, 2026).

  • Platform mode: Assurance-focused workflows without generative AI when governance requires it (Nodes & Links, 2026).

  • Schedule quality scans: Surfaces logic errors, stale ties, and data integrity issues continuously (Nodes & Links, 2026).

  • Change and delay tracing: Logs who changed what and whether updates hit critical milestones (Nodes & Links, 2026).

  • Risk exploration: Runs scenario checks against the critical path for early warnings (Nodes & Links, 2026).

  • Stakeholder reporting: Turns schedule updates into role-specific briefings (Nodes & Links, 2026).

Frequently asked questions

Does Nodes & Links replace Oracle P6?

It reads P6-style schedules and connects through APIs, but Oracle P6 or your ERP still hosts the authoritative programme. Treat Nodes & Links as analytics and narration on top (Nodes & Links, 2026).

Where does my data go in AI mode?

The vendor states data stays inside your environment and is not shared with public LLMs. Capture that architecture in your security review and penetration test results (Nodes & Links, 2026).

Can we disable generative features?

Platform mode is marketed for teams that need assurance without generative AI. Confirm licensing toggles so you can start in platform mode and enable AI later (Nodes & Links, 2026).

What should we upload first?

Start with a baseline and two monthly updates you trust. Compare AI narratives to your manual delay report so reviewers can sign off on tone and accuracy (Nodes & Links, 2026).

Is there a free trial?

The homepage invites work emails to start free access to the AI-powered platform. Enterprise features likely require sales; read the trial terms for schedule count limits (Nodes & Links, 2026).

How does this help claims?

Logged changes and critical-path commentary can support factual narratives, but legal teams must decide evidentiary use. Use the tool to align engineering, planning, and legal on a single timeline story (Nodes & Links, 2026).
