Short answer

Can I track Teamwork milestones using AI?

Yes. You can ask your agent to list milestones, pull project details, or create new milestones in Teamwork. You'll see exactly how the agent interacts with your data below.

Project outcomes.

Where your project data goes.

Your agent moves data between your chat and Teamwork Projects.

READ

View project status

The agent pulls current project details and milestone lists. You get a clear view of progress without opening Teamwork.

WRITE

Add new milestones

Tell your agent about a new goal. It will create the milestone in Teamwork immediately.

MONITOR

Track deadlines

Ask for a list of upcoming milestones. Your agent identifies what's due so you don't miss a deadline.

HUMAN

Review progress

The agent provides the raw data and updates, but you remain responsible for deciding if a milestone is actually complete.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your agent translates your chat messages into specific actions within Teamwork Projects.

  1. Fetch project info

    The agent looks up the specific project you're asking about to get the necessary context.

    get_project

  2. Retrieve milestones

    It pulls a full list of all milestones tied to that project.

    list_milestones

  3. Register new goals

    When you define a new milestone in chat, the agent pushes that entry into Teamwork.

    create_milestone

  4. Analyze status

    The agent uses project and milestone data to answer your questions about progress.

    get_projectlist_milestones
