FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete tasks in ProofHub?

    No. The current tools only allow the agent to list projects, list to-do lists, and create tasks.

  • 02

    Does the AI choose the project for me?

    It can. If you don't specify a project, the agent will try to find the best match from your list of projects.

  • 03

    Can the AI update existing tasks?

    No. The agent can only create new tasks; it cannot edit or update tasks that already exist.

  • 04

    Will my team see the tasks immediately?

    Yes. As soon as the agent successfully runs the creation tool, the task is live in ProofHub for your team.

  • 05

    Do I need to give the agent my ProofHub password?

    No. You connect via Vinkius, and your login details are kept secure and encrypted.
