Task management outcomes.

Where your data lands.

Your agent handles the data entry so you can focus on the schedule.

TIMELINE

Shift task dates

Tell your agent to move a task start or end date. It updates the timeline without you dragging bars on a chart.

PROGRESS

Update completion

Report how much work is done. The agent adjusts the percentage field for specific tasks instantly.

STATUS

Change task status

Move tasks from 'In Progress' to 'Done' or 'Blocked' via chat. The agent modifies the status field for you.

HUMAN

Review changes

You still need to look at the Gantt chart to ensure the new dates don't create resource conflicts or logic errors.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a change.

The agent follows a specific sequence to find and modify your project data.

  1. Find the task

    The agent looks through your project to identify the exact task you are talking about.

    list_project_tasks

  2. Check current details

    It pulls the existing data to make sure it has the right context before making any edits.

    get_task_info

  3. Apply the update

    The agent writes the new dates or status directly to the TeamGantt database.

    update_task_fields

  4. Confirm completion

    The agent tells you once the field has been successfully changed.

    get_task_info
