Before
you start
AI time logging helps reduce the effort of logging time by drafting time entries from a description of the work you completed. You can access the Log time dialog from several areas in Teamwork.com, including tasks, projects, Quick Add, My Timesheet, and the timer. Once the Log time dialog is open, select the Chat tab to draft time entries using AI.
- AI creates draft entries for review.
Suggested entries are not saved until you
confirm them.
- The details AI can suggest depend on the
information included in your request and
the work available to your user
account.
- You can switch between the Manual and Chat tabs at any time while
logging time.
- You can type your request or, where available, use the microphone to dictate it using voice input.
Draft
time entries using AI
- Open the Log time dialog
in Teamwork.com.
- Select the Chat tab.
- Describe what you worked on by typing your request or using the microphone, and where helpful, include details such as the task, project, duration, or date.
- Press Enter to send your
request. AI drafts one or more
time entries based on the information
provided.
- Review the drafted entries and adjust any
details that need to change. AI will ask
for any clarity it needs to select the
correct destination project.
- Click Log time to save the entries
when you are satisfied with the
details.

the detailed guidance
below.
Describe
your work
Use conversational language to describe what
you worked on instead of completing each field
manually. Include enough context for AI to
understand the work and the time you want to
record.
Example requests include:
- Log 30 minutes on the task Header icon
alignment fixes.
- I spent two hours preparing the roadmap
and another hour reviewing
designs.
- Log my time for today based on my
activity.
More specific requests generally give
AI more context when drafting time
entries. Always review the drafted
details before saving.
Review and edit
drafted time entries
Drafted entries appear in the review area
before they are saved. Depending on the
request, AI may create a single time entry or
separate the work into multiple entries.
Review the available details for each drafted
entry, including:
- The associated task or project.
- The time and duration.
- The date or time of day.
- The description.
- Tags and billable status, where
available.
You can edit the drafted entries before
saving, remove entries you do not want to
keep,
or start over with a new request.
Check AI-generated time entries for
accuracy before saving, especially
when
the time is billable or will be used
for
reporting, invoicing, or client
work.
Best
practices
- Include useful context: Mention the
task, project, duration, or date when
these
details matter.
- Describe separate work clearly: State
each activity and its duration when you
want
AI to create multiple time entries.
- Review before saving: Confirm the
task, project, duration, billable status,
and description for each drafted
entry.
- Refine the request when needed: Add
more detail or start over if the first
drafts do not reflect the work you
completed.
