Human oversight

The AI handles the technical execution, but you decide which tasks are actually worth adding to the roadmap.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask.

The AI acts as a bridge between your conversation and your project board.

  1. Fetch data

    The AI looks up your existing project details to see what is currently on your plate.

    list_project_tasks

  2. Analyze needs

    It processes your request to figure out if you want to see a list or add something new.

    list_project_tasks

  3. Execute creation

    When you give a command to add an item, the AI sends that data to Productive.io.

    create_task

  4. Confirm status

    The AI verifies the action was successful so you know the task is officially on the list.
