Time / Task Manager

The Agentic AI Time / Task Tracker allows you to connect AbleTime with however you interact with AI Agents, whether it's in a browser chat window or custom application. The Agent is given all the tools necessary to track draft time entries and manage tasks — quietly in the background — while you work.

Draft entries

As you work, the Agent keeps a running draft of your time: how many minutes were spent, when the work started, a short description, and the task it was for. Drafts are private to you — they don't appear in reports or billing, and they don't become recorded time until they're accepted.

You accept drafts in AbleTime whenever you're ready to review them. The Agent can also accept its own drafts — though never another person's — once you have turned on Agent may commit (accept) my time entries under Privacy & Notifications; until then, drafts wait for you in the app. Any draft can be edited or deleted before it's accepted.

Tasks

When the work needs a task that doesn't exist yet, the Agent creates one — title and description together — and keeps it up to date as the work moves along. New tasks start in backlog or todo. A task moves into doing once time is recorded against it (it can't be moved there by hand), and it can only be marked done once that time is on the record.

Closing a Task

To close a task, you must first accept the draft time entries you have logged against it. You can do this on the Time Tracker page by clicking on the draft and choosing Accept, by opening Review Drafts in the Productivity Drawer, or, if you have enabled this action, by telling your agent to accept them on your behalf.

A task that has no time of its own can still be closed: the Agent points to the task in the same project that carried the work and adds a note saying so, and the task closes as done, dated to the last entry on the task that carried the work — the same close as Close in the task's Task Actions menu.

Comments

The Agent can also comment on a task. A task that is done or archived won't accept new comments, so a wrap-up note should be made before the work closes.

Finding work

To figure out where time and tasks belong, the Agent can search your tasks by text, browse your projects and their categories, see who work can be assigned to, and read any task in full. You can also tell it which task you would like to record time against.

Every tool the Agent can use is described on MCP Tools. To get connected, see MCP Authentication.
