# Create launches

## Tell Us Your Plan

Use Luna's AI planning feature to generate launches from your strategic ideas:

1. Describe your objectives and/ or launch concept to the AI
2. AI generates launch name, target date, and maps it to overreaching OKRs
3. Review and refine the AI suggestions
4. Optionally import the launch to Jira with automatic linking
