Short answer

How can I use my AI to make and assign tasks?

Your AI uses ProjectManager to read your project lists and create new work items based on your instructions. It handles the data entry and assigns tasks to specific people immediately. You'll see how the process works below.

Task outcomes.

Where your work lands.

The AI handles the organization so you don't have to.

NEW ENTRIES

Created work items

The AI uses create_project_task to build new entries. These show up in your project exactly as you described them.

ASSIGNED

Direct ownership

Tasks get linked to the team members you name. The AI handles the assignment during the creation process.

SYNCED

Correct placement

The AI checks your project list to make sure everything goes into the right folder. You won't have loose tasks floating around.

HUMAN

Your final call

The AI does the typing, but you decide if the task is actually ready. You stay in control of the final project state.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI moves from reading your current setup to executing your commands.

  1. Find the project

    The AI looks through your existing projects to find the right destination for the new work.

    list_projects

  2. Check existing tasks

    It scans current tasks to ensure it has the right context and doesn't repeat work.

  3. Generate the task

    The AI builds the new work item using the details from your conversation.

    create_project_task

  4. Assign the owner

    The AI links the new item to the specific person you mentioned in your prompt.
