The outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The AI turns Hubstaff data into these specific insights.

STATUS

Task completion updates

The AI identifies which sub-tasks are done and which are still open. You get a snapshot of current progress for any active project.

STRUCTURE

Project hierarchy views

The AI maps out how tasks are organized. This helps you see the relationship between parent tasks and sub-tasks.

BLOCKERS

Identifying stalled work

By looking at task lists, your AI can point out tasks that haven't moved. This highlights where you might need to step in.

HUMAN

Manual updates required

The AI only reads data. You still need to manually update task statuses or change deadlines within the Hubstaff interface.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI follows a logical path to find the specific information you asked for.

  1. Find the project

    The AI identifies which project you are talking about by looking through your available Hubstaff projects.

  2. Get project details

    Once the project is identified, the AI pulls the specific configuration and structure for that project.

  3. Locate tasks

    The AI looks through the project to find the specific tasks or sub-tasks you mentioned.

    list_tasks

  4. Report progress
