  5. AI applies changes after confirmation

Example Prompt: "Review all tasks in the API project. Standardize titles, add missing due dates, and ensure all tasks have owners."

Strengths: Natural language cleanup, batch operations, preview before changes

Asana Approach

Workflow:

  1. Use automation rules to enforce task standards
  2. Create custom fields for required information
  3. Set up templates for consistent task creation
  4. Use rules to auto-assign and set due dates
  5. Generate reports on task completeness

Example Prompt: "Set up automation rules to ensure all tasks have assignees and due dates. Create a template for bug reports."

Strengths: Rule-based automation, templates, custom fields

Reporting

Corcava MCP Approach

Workflow:

  1. AI aggregates task data across projects
