AI for Projects & Tasks

The AI layer integrates deeply with the Projects app to help you create tasks from unstructured text, detect duplicates, suggest assignments and priorities, and flag blocked or stalled work.

Task Generation from Transcripts

Paste meeting notes, call transcripts, or any unstructured text and the AI extracts actionable tasks. Each generated task includes:

  • A clear, concise title
  • A description with context from the original text
  • Suggested priority level based on urgency cues

Before creating tasks, the AI automatically checks for duplicates against existing tasks in the same project. If a match is found, it flags the duplicate instead of creating a new task.

Smart Assignment Suggestions

The AI can suggest the best team member to assign a task to. It considers:

  • Job title & department — Matches tasks to members with relevant expertise
  • Workload — How many open tasks each member currently has
  • Recent work — What tasks each member has been working on recently
  • Task context — The project and task description to find relevant expertise

Suggestions include a confidence score and reasoning so you can make an informed decision.

Single-Task Assignment

In the task detail shelf, click the sparkles button next to the assignee dropdown. The AI analyzes the task and suggests the best-fit team member. You can accept the suggestion or pick someone else.

Batch Assignment

In the project header toolbar, click the sparkles “Assign” button to batch-assign up to 10 unassigned tasks at once. The AI evaluates each task and distributes them across your team based on workload, expertise, and availability. Review the suggestions before confirming.

Priority Suggestions

The AI can suggest priority levels for tasks based on:

  • Due dates and deadlines
  • Dependent tasks that are blocked
  • Related feedback volume (how many users reported the issue)
  • Project context and goals

Blocked Task Detection

The AI periodically scans your projects for tasks that may be blocked or stalled:

  • Stale tasks — Open tasks with no activity for an extended period
  • Blocked tasks — Tasks waiting on dependencies that haven't been resolved
  • Overdue tasks — Tasks past their due date that are still open

Detected issues appear as signals in the AI Panel, along with recommended actions (reassign, reprioritize, or follow up with the assignee).

Duplicate Detection

When creating tasks — either manually or from AI-generated suggestions — the system checks for existing tasks with similar titles or descriptions. If a likely duplicate is found, you'll see the match with a confidence score so you can decide whether to merge, skip, or create it anyway.
