Monitor your screen activity to automatically detect when tasks are completed, extract progress information, and update project management tools without manual input.

Workflow Steps

1

Littlebird

Monitor screen for task completion signals

Configure Littlebird to recognize patterns that indicate task completion - closing specific applications, finishing documents, completing forms, or seeing success messages. Train it to understand your typical workflow patterns.

2

OpenAI GPT-4

Extract task details and progress

When completion signals are detected, send screen context to GPT-4 to extract: task name, completion status, time spent, any blockers resolved, and next steps. Format this information for project management tools.

3

Zapier

Trigger project management updates

Use Zapier to receive the structured task information and determine which project management tool and project to update based on context clues like project names, client mentions, or application types.

4

Asana

Update task status and add notes

Automatically mark tasks as complete in Asana, add time tracking information, include any notes about challenges or next steps, and update project progress percentages.

5

Slack

Notify team of progress

Send automatic progress notifications to relevant Slack channels when significant milestones are reached, including completed tasks, time spent, and any important notes for team awareness.
