Which projects are trending under their estimated hours?
Two projects are tracking below estimates: the Coastal Freight rebrand is at 67% of estimated hours with 2 weeks left, and the FleetTrack app refresh is at 71% utilization. Both have room to expand scope or finish early.

How it works

From connection to autonomous action in three steps

1

Connect

Connect your Timely workspace through OAuth. The agent accesses time entries, projects, budgets, and team utilization data across all active and archived projects.

2

Ask

Ask questions like 'which projects are over budget this month' or 'show me unbilled hours by client' or 'what's my team's average billable rate this quarter.'

3

Act

The agent creates new projects with hour budgets, updates project estimates based on burn rate trends, tags time entries by category, and flags projects approaching budget thresholds.

Use Cases

AI Agent Access

Your agent doesn't just read Timely — it spots unprofitable projects

Read

The agent reads time entries, project budgets, billable vs non-billable hours, team member utilization rates, client billing data, hourly rates, project estimates, and budget burn rates across your workspace.

Write

The agent creates projects with hour allocations, updates project budgets and estimates, applies tags to time entries, adjusts billable status on logged hours, and sets budget alert thresholds for active projects.

Monitor

The agent monitors projects approaching budget limits, tracks utilization rate changes across team members, watches for untagged or uncategorized time entries, and alerts when billable percentages drop below target thresholds.

AI agents query billable vs non-billable hours and calculate project profitability against revenue targets. They identify clients with consistently low billable ratios and flag them for review. Agents monitor team utilization rates and recommend workload adjustments when capacity drops below thresholds.
