DeskTime, worked by an AI employee
Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your DeskTime account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What DeskTime is
DeskTime is an automatic time tracking software that helps teams and freelancers monitor productivity, manage projects, and analyze work habits.
You paste in a key from your own DeskTime account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside DeskTime whenever you like.

It works out the step
It decides what the job needs in DeskTime. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

It does the work

It reports back
It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

You stay the boss of your DeskTime account.
Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.
How we handle your data- It signs in to your own DeskTime account. You are not moving anything into ours.

It works in DeskTime and the rest of your software in the same job
A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.
