Each user will have their own personal AI project management assistant that will read, listen, understand and translate those questions into actions on your PPM tool, which is your organization’s place to store and organize data and processes.
Imagine also that your personal AI project management assistant will learn and become smarter day by day based on your way of work. He will also learn from other users in your organization and know all the best practices in the market which allows him to recommend and suggest the best options for your tasks.
