Let’s be real: scheduling is usually a time-suck. If you’ve ever spent too much time moving names around in a spreadsheet, chasing down who’s free, or untangling project timelines that don’t quite add up, you know the pain of scheduling. It can be tedious work that’s finicky and repetive—and let’s be honest, it’s never really done.

That’s why we built AI Smart Scheduler, your new scheduling assistant that takes the busywork (and guesswork) out of resourcing and project planning. At its core, AI Smart Scheduler takes the headache out of resourcing. With just a click, it finds the perfect fit for every allocation, prevents double bookings, and even spins up tasks so projects run smoothly, giving you more time to focus on people and projects (not mundane tasks).

Instead of you having to juggle calendars and guess who’s free, AI Smart Scheduler finds the best people for the job right when you need to know. Think of it as autocomplete for your scheduling problems, designed to make project timelines smarter and smoother. With a single click, you can replace hours of manual checking and guesswork.

By looking at factors like availability, skills, and timelines, AI Smart Scheduler surfaces the top candidates so you can assign with confidence. Worried about double bookings? Worry no more. This new feature hones in on the right people, matches them for the right work, and ensures that they’re scheduled in at the right time, avoiding any scheduling conflicts all the while.

Plus, the stress that often comes with scheduling (including conflicts, overloads, and shifting start dates) gets untangled by TeamworkAI in the background. It even suggests multiple options when there’s more than one way forward so you can choose the best solution that fits your needs. With no more overallocations or mismatched skills, your team will be better balanced to take on any upcoming work. 

Tasks that practically build themselves

One of the other huge benefits of AI Smart Scheduler? Allocations no longer just sit there. With one click, AI Smart Scheduler can break allocations into tasks, spread them across the right timelines, and drop them straight into your Workload Planner.

That means full project structures appear in seconds, and you still have full control to tweak, add, or remove tasks before locking them in. This added enhancement automatically breaks work into manageable tasks mapped across timelines, so your projects can start off on the right track.

  • You can also generate tasks with TeamworkAI for specific allocations, with the ability to add and edit as needed before confirming.
