What it can do

The Associate works in a few broad areas. Everything here is something you can ask for in plain language — you don't need to know the names of any commands. Anything that changes your project is staged for your approval first (see Review & approve).

Understand and answer

Ask about anything in your work and it reads the real data to answer:

• Find and summarise tasks, projects, comments, and documents
• Compare documents or ask a question of a specific document
• Check who's active and who's working on what
• Search the web for outside context when a question needs it
• Tell you what's changed since your last visit

Analyse and advise

• Project health checks and risk summaries
• A full project audit in one pass
• Recommend next actions — what to do now
• Surface blocked work and ways to unblock it

Create and update work

• Create a task, or many tasks at once from a brief
• Update tasks, statuses, and priorities (one or in bulk)
• Add subtasks, comments, and milestones
• Assign work to teammates by name or email
• Duplicate or start a task

Plan timelines · Max

Deeper timeline work runs on the Max tier:

• Add and fix dependencies, adjust task dates
• Read the Gantt, summarise the critical path, find timeline risks
• Suggest milestones and propose dependency fixes
• Simulate a capacity plan to see if the team is over-committed

Generate documents · Max

Also on Max, the Associate can produce real files:

• Documents, spreadsheets, and presentations (PDF / XLSX / PPTX)
• Checklists and reports drawn from your project's actual activity

Generated files land in the project's documents, ready to download.

Manage projects

• Create and update projects
• Add or remove project members

See images and video

The Associate can analyse images and video you attach — useful for design reviews, screenshots, or whiteboard photos.
