AI-Powered Help & Insights

Time in Status includes AI-powered features to help you understand the app and analyze your work items faster.

With Help, you can ask questions about how to use Time in Status and get guided answers directly from the product documentation. With Insights, you can generate ready-made reports that analyze your work items and highlight areas that may need attention.


Help Ask How to Use the App

Instead of searching through documentation, simply ask a question such as:

  • How do I save a view?

  • How can I configure highlights?

The assistant provides:

  • Step-by-step guidance on how to use the feature.

1. Audit Work Items

Provides a complete health check of your work items, including:

The report also highlights important findings and identifies work items that may require attention.

2. Compare by Work Item Type

Compares different work item types, such as Bugs, Stories, Tasks, and Epics.

The report shows:

  • Number of work items by type.

  • Open and finished work.

  • Average time spent in the current status.

  • Where each type of open work is currently sitting.

The report shows:
