Short answer

How can I turn my notes into Worktile tasks?

Your AI client uses the Worktile MCP to convert your text requirements into specific tasks within your existing projects. You can then ask your agent to list or check the status of those tasks to keep your backlog updated.

Task destinations

Where your work lands.

Your AI organizes your input into these specific areas within Worktile.

BACKLOG

New task creation

The AI takes your messy notes and creates formal tasks. These appear immediately in your designated Worktile project.

PROJECTS

Project oversight

Your agent identifies which project belongs to which task. This keeps your work categorized without manual sorting.

STATUS

Progress monitoring

You can ask for updates on specific items. The AI pulls the current state of your tasks so you don't have to log in to check.

HUMAN

Manual review

The AI creates the entries, but you remain in control. You decide if the generated task details match your actual requirements.

The workflow

What your AI does when requirements arrive.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat window and your Worktile workspace.

  1. Locate the project

    The AI looks through your available Worktile projects to find the right home for your new work.

  2. Identify existing work

  3. Create the task

    The agent takes your specific instructions and builds a new task entry in the correct project.

  4. Verify project details

    The AI pulls specific project information to ensure the task is mapped to the right context.
