Short answer

Can I manage Wrike tasks using my AI?

Yes. You can tell your AI to build new tasks from scratch or change the details of ones that already exist. This allows you to move work through your pipeline without opening the Wrike interface.

Where every task lands.

Task management outcomes

Your AI handles the data entry and updates based on your instructions.

NEW WORK

Instant task creation

The AI uses your descriptions to build new Wrike tasks. It populates the necessary fields so the work is ready for your team.

UPDATES

Modify existing data

Change task statuses, descriptions, or other metadata. Your AI applies these changes to the specific task you identify.

INVENTORY

View your backlog

Ask your AI to find specific items or list your current workload. It pulls the relevant task details from Wrike for you.

HUMAN

Final review required

The AI performs the technical updates, but you remain responsible for the actual project strategy and final approval.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI translates your natural language into specific Wrike commands.

  1. Identify the task

    The AI looks through your Wrike folders or projects to find the right item to act on.

    list_tasks

  2. Build the item

    When you describe a new piece of work, the AI builds the record in Wrike with the details you provided.

    create_task

  3. Apply changes

    If you need to move a task to 'Completed' or change a due date, the AI updates the existing record.

    update_task

  4. Confirm status

    The AI verifies the task was updated correctly by checking the current state of the item.
