awork AI is a natural-language, prompt-based, built-in project assistant. It gives context-aware help across your projects, tasks, time tracking, docs, and more so you can get answers, perform actions, and generate content without leaving your workflow.
It works wherever you see the awork AI button — in the floating toolbar, project view, or via shortcuts — and understands what you’re looking at to give relevant responses
