  • Slow performance from server latency

    From 1 comment

Questions

  • How does the product use machine learning

    From 1 comment
    • Congrats the on beta! Just a quick question though. Seems like in the about page, you guys mention that the "platform leverages machine learning". How do Tara leverage ML? From…

    • I've been using clubhouse for myself and it's pretty much what I need in terms of "advanced to-do list" but "not as heavy as JIRA". What I'm more interested in is how project…
