One self-hosted workspace
Projects, docs, and AI stay on infrastructure you control.
TOW replaces the fragile chain of tracker, wiki, search tool, and AI sidebar with one deployable workspace designed for repeat work.
Docs and wiki
Specs, decisions, runbooks, and workspace memory stay connected to the work.
- Native docs
- Smart references
- Knowledge search
Self-hosted control
Run TOW where your team needs it, with clear data ownership and admin controls.
- Your infrastructure
- SSO and admin settings
- Reviewable AI actions
Projects
Plan, track, and review work without splitting the team across tools.
TOW keeps daily work, project scope, risks, and execution history together, so the board stays connected to the real operating picture inside your own deployment.
Boards that reflect real workflows
Project views stay tied to issue types, statuses, owners, and team-specific processes.
Goals stay visible
Connect work to goals and keep progress visible during planning and review.
Review loops are built in
Use AI proposals, inbox review, and conflict checks without leaving the workspace.
Docs
Make the doc the source of truth, then connect it to the work.
Specs, decisions, and operating notes become part of the workspace memory instead of another place your team has to search or export into a separate AI tool.
References stay linked
Docs, tickets, decisions, and memory can point back to each other cleanly.
Built for team knowledge
Shared docs support the operational context your team needs to move fast.
Decisions keep their trail
Capture what changed, why it changed, and what work followed.
AI agents
Agents that understand the workspace, not just the prompt.
TOW agents answer questions, summarize work, draft proposals, and operate against the project and docs you give them access to, with human approval before changes land.
Grounded answers
Ask about project status, docs, decisions, or risks with workspace context attached.
Background execution
Agents can run routine work and bring proposed changes back for human review.
Permission aware
Context and actions follow the same access boundaries as the rest of TOW.
Review
Keep AI work accountable with a single place to review what changed.
The inbox turns AI output into a clear operating queue, so teams can accept, reject, or refine proposals before they affect real work.
One review queue
Collect proposed tickets, doc changes, and follow-ups where reviewers already work.
Context before action
See the reason behind a proposal before accepting it into the workspace.
Human approval stays central
High-impact actions remain explicit, visible, and reversible.
Pricing
Core workspace features are included. AI access depends on the plan.
Choose Cloud or Self-hosted, then pick whether AI runs through your own keys or uses TOW-managed endpoints. Projects, docs, review flows, admin controls, and enterprise-grade workspace features stay available across plans.
Cloud Free can use AI with your own key, but does not include TOW-managed AI endpoints. Every paid Cloud plan and every Self-hosted plan keeps the same workspace surface; pricing changes by hosting choice, organisation size, seat count, and AI endpoint preference.

FAQ
Common questions
TOW is built for teams that want one place to operate, document, and review AI-assisted work while keeping deployment control.
How is TOW different from a project tracker plus a wiki?
TOW treats projects, docs, memory, and AI work as one workspace. A roadmap, a decision, an issue, and an agent proposal can all share context instead of living as separate links.
Can we self-host TOW?
Yes. TOW is designed to run as a self-hosted workspace so projects, docs, memory, and AI review flows can live in the environment your team controls.
Who can use TOW for free?
Self-hosted TOW is free for any organisation that makes less than $10M in ARR and has fewer than 50 employees. TOW Cloud is free for companies with fewer than 30 seats.
Does Cloud Free include AI?
Cloud Free can use AI if your team brings its own AI provider key. TOW-managed AI endpoints are available on Cloud + TOW AI.
What does BYOK mean?
BYOK means bring your own key. Your team connects its own AI provider credentials, while TOW provides the workspace, agents, permissions, and review flows.
Can TOW work for teams that already have existing docs or tickets?
Yes. TOW includes migration and import paths for common work systems, and this landing page uses the existing app screens that support those workflows.
Are AI actions automatic?
AI can draft and suggest work, but approval-oriented flows keep important changes visible to the team before they become part of the workspace.
