awork AI has huge potential to make your project work easier. There are only a few things AI can’t solve, but the list of what’s possible is almost endless.

As a starting point for your work with awork AI, we’ve compiled the most‑used prompts so far.

Happy prompting!

Basic examples for agencies

  • “Write a project update for my client.”

  • “Give me an overview of all my projects and tasks.”

  • “Move all future tasks of this project by 2 weeks.”

  • “Check if my design team has 30 hours of free capacity next week.”

  • “Which tasks are urgent for me this week?”

Pro examples for agencies

  • “Give me a portfolio status of all active client projects this week: progress, deadlines, risks, and recommended actions. Highlight anything at risk.”

  • “Create a client-ready status email for Client X from the current project: done, in progress, risks, and next steps with dates. Keep it concise and on-brand.”

  • “Check team capacity for the next 2 weeks and propose assignments for all unassigned or overdue tasks in this project. Respect roles, skills, and holidays.”

  • “Shift all milestones and dependent tasks by 5 working days starting today. Update deadlines, resolve conflicts, and summarize changes.”

  • “Draft a 1‑page creative brief for the task ‘Homepage redesign’ using the latest meeting notes and project docs. Include objectives, audience, deliverables, and acceptance criteria.”

  • “Find tasks likely missing time entries for my team this week and suggest hours based on past patterns. Prepare to log after my confirmation.”

  • “Batch update this project: add the tag ‘Q4 Campaign’ to all tasks in the ‘Launch’ list, assign owners based on current workload, and set due dates this month.”

  • “Prepare the sprint plan for the next 2 weeks from the backlog: pick the top 15 by priority, estimate effort, set dependencies, and assign users.”

Proven workflows
