Carly is an AI assistant that connects to Teamwork.com so you can log billable time, update client tasks, and get project status — all by email or text. No opening Teamwork between client calls.
Try Carly →What Carly can do with Teamwork
Log billable time by text
Text Carly what you worked on and for how long. She finds the right client project or task in Teamwork.com and creates the time entry, so hours get logged the day they happen instead of reconstructed on Friday.
Update client tasks after a call
Tell Carly what moved on a client call — tasks completed, due dates shifted, new work requested — and she updates the tasks and adds comments in Teamwork.com without you opening a browser.
Get project status before a client meeting
Ask Carly where a project stands and she pulls open tasks, upcoming milestones, and time logged against the project from Teamwork.com, then sends you a readable summary.
Turn new client requests into tasks
Forward a client's email to Carly and she creates the tasks in the right Teamwork.com project with owners and due dates, so scope requests land on the board instead of in your inbox.
Why agencies want AI on top of Teamwork.com
Teamwork.com is built for client services — agencies, studios, and consultancies that bill for their people's hours. That's what separates it from generic project management: tasks are tied to client projects, projects are tied to budgets, and hours logged against tasks are what you invoice. The data model is the business model.
Which is exactly why the admin hurts. Time logged three days late is time logged wrong, and unbilled hours never come back. A PM finishing a client call has a half-dozen small updates to make — move two tasks, log 45 minutes, push a milestone, note what the client asked for — and doing them means opening Teamwork.com, finding each project, and clicking through. Most people put it off until Friday and reconstruct the week from memory.
AI tools for Teamwork.com are worth having when they close that gap: when logging time and updating a task takes the same effort as sending a text, the timesheet is accurate and the project board reflects reality.
How Carly works as your Teamwork.com AI assistant
Teamwork.com isn't one of Carly's native connectors, so you connect it with your own API key — which takes about a minute. In Teamwork.com, click your avatar, choose "Edit my details," open the "API & Mobile" tab, and show your token. Paste that key along with your site URL on Carly's integrations page at carlyassistant.com/integrations. Every user with an active seat has one, and Carly gets exactly the permissions your own account has — nothing more.
Once connected, you run Teamwork.com over email and text. Just off a client call? Text Carly to log 45 minutes to the Ridgeline website redesign, mark the copy review task complete, and add a note about the new homepage direction. Need to know where a project stands before a status meeting? Ask, and Carly pulls open tasks, upcoming milestones, and hours logged against budget.
Because Carly sits outside Teamwork.com rather than inside it, she can cross-reference your projects against your calendar and inbox. She can turn the meetings on today's calendar into logged time on the right client projects, or pull a client's latest email thread alongside their project status.
Who uses Carly with Teamwork.com
Agency owners who want project health and budget burn without sitting in a dashboard. Client services PMs running six or eight projects at once, each with its own tasks, milestones, and hours. Designers, developers, and strategists who do the billable work and resent the timesheet — the people whose unlogged hours are the leak. Operations leads chasing the team every Friday for time entries that should have been logged Tuesday. If your agency runs on Teamwork.com but the data is always a few days stale, Carly closes the gap between doing the work and recording it.

Get Started →Frequently asked questions
What is the best AI tool for Teamwork.com?
Carly is an AI assistant that connects to Teamwork.com and lets you log time, update tasks, move milestones, and pull project status — all by email or text. She works from outside Teamwork.com, so you can keep client projects current from a phone between meetings instead of sitting down at the dashboard.
How do I connect Teamwork.com to Carly?
Teamwork.com is a bring-your-own-key integration — a fully supported path rather than a workaround. In Teamwork.com, click your avatar, select "Edit my details," open the "API & Mobile" tab, and show your token. Paste that key and your site URL (like yourcompany.teamwork.com) on Carly's integrations page at carlyassistant.com/integrations. Any user with an active seat can generate one, and Carly inherits your existing permissions. Asana, ClickUp, Basecamp, Wrike, Jira, and Linear are native connectors if you also run projects there.
Can Carly log time in Teamwork.com?
Yes. Text or email Carly the work and the duration — "log 90 minutes to the Ridgeline redesign for wireframes, billable" — and she creates the time entry against the right project or task. She can also work from your calendar, turning client meetings into logged hours so billable time doesn't go missing.
Can Carly create and update tasks in Teamwork.com?
Yes. Carly can create tasks in any project you have access to, set owners and due dates, mark tasks complete, add comments, and shift milestone dates. Forward her a client email and she'll turn the requests in it into tasks on the right board.
How is Carly different from TeamworkAI and the Teamwork.com MCP server?
Teamwork.com's own AI features and its MCP server work inside a session — you're in Teamwork.com, or you're sitting in a chat client like Claude or ChatGPT asking questions. Carly works over email and text, which means you can update a project from a phone between client calls, and she can run scheduled work like a Monday morning budget-burn digest without you starting the conversation. She also reaches your calendar, inbox, and the rest of your stack in the same request.
What does Carly cost?
Free Zapier-style workflows; AI agents from $35/month. So a scheduled workflow that pulls a weekly time-logged report out of Teamwork.com and emails it to you costs nothing, and the conversational side — texting Carly to log time or update a task — starts at $35/month.
Ready to automate your busywork?
Carly schedules, researches, and briefs you—so you can focus on what matters.
See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
