What's new in Teamwork.com | May 2026

A new AI Project Wizard, redesigned with you in mind 

You may remember when we first launched the AI Project Wizard last year. Now, we’ve updated both the AI Project Wizard and the AI Task Wizard based on your feedback. Now, it’s much more powerful (and practical).

Here’s a highlight of what’s new and improved: 

• Build projects with full context

  • Instead of generating tasks in isolation, AI Project Wizard now creates your entire project first, so everything is more accurate and aligned.

• Get complete, ready-to-use task lists

  • AI Project Wizard now generates detailed task lists for complex projects—including recurring work like monthly and quarterly tasks—so outputs are more robust. 

• Edit everything, instantly

  • You’re no longer locked into what the AI Project Wizard creates on the first pass. You can fully edit tasks, priorities, dates, tags, and more right from the get-go.

• Better syncing with documents

  • Upload detailed briefs or SOWs and get much more reliable results, even for larger, complex projects.

• Less setup, more doing

  • Assign people once and they’re automatically added to the project, saving you extra steps.

"Thank goodness for the AI Project Wizard—I’ve cranked out three project task plans in the last hour that would’ve taken me all day!" - Rachel Elliott, Director of Service Delivery & Infrastructure Operations

The best way to connect ChatGPT with Teamwork.com

Imagine you could ask ChatGPT to set up a new client project, assign the team, create the tasklists, and draft the kickoff doc… and it actually does it.

That’s the magic of the new Teamwork.com MCP server connection for ChatGPT. By connecting Teamwork.com directly into your AI workflows, ChatGPT can now help manage projects, update tasks, triage support tickets, publish documentation, track workloads, and more—all through natural language. The days of tab switching are over. Just connect the Teamwork.com MCP server, say “hey ChatGPT…” and you’re off to the races.

A few particularly useful ways teams are already putting it to work:

• Turn meeting notes into fully structured projects with tasks, milestones, and owners

• Ask ChatGPT for a real-time project status update before a client call

• Automatically triage and respond to support tickets in Teamwork Desk

• Spot overloaded teammates before burnout becomes a problem

• Search across projects, tasks, docs, and tickets instantly without digging around manually

It’s one of those releases that will have you start thinking of new ways to automate work you hadn't considered before... and that doesn't happen all the time!

AI Teammates just became even more adaptable

Ever wished the same AI Teammate job could work a little differently depending on the project, client, or day of the week? Wish no more!

With multi-instance jobs, you can run multiple versions of the same AI Teammate job, each with its own filters, criteria, and schedule. Create a daily catchup for all projects, a Monday-morning summary for priority work, and an on-demand version for quick check-ins, all without rebuilding the same job over and over.

Before, each AI Teammate’s job could only run as a single instance—meaning one set of conditions, one configuration, one schedule. That made it impossible to reuse a job across different contexts.

But with this update, you can now run multiple instances of the same job, each with its own criteria and schedule.

That means your daily project catchup can run every afternoon across all projects, while a second version sends a focused Monday-morning update for your highest-priority work. Need something more flexible? You can even create manual, click-to-run versions alongside scheduled ones.

So whether you're applying different filters or conditions per instance, or scheduling the same job to run differently for each client, project, or team, this latest AI Teammates release has you covered.

More flexible Time Approvals are here

We’ve introduced two new updates to Time Approvals to give your team added flexibility in your billing workflows.

You can now choose between weekly or monthly approval periods to better match how your team works. Once a monthly timesheet is submitted, approvers can review and approve the entire month in one place, locking the full period after approval for better accuracy and control.

In addition to that, we’ve also added a new “Verified” column to project-level approvals. This column acts as a visual signal for final approvers, showing that time logs have already been reviewed and are ready for approval.

In short, these enhancements help:

• Give final approvers more confidence that time logs are approval-ready

• Add stronger guardrails to keep your time and billing data accurate

• Streamline approvals if your team manages larger billing cycles

A refreshed Reports gallery makes navigation a cinch

Ooh-la-la. That’s not your eyes deceiving you—we have in fact released a major UX and UI uplift to the Reports gallery, making it easier than ever to discover, navigate, and customize reports in Teamwork.com.

Rest assured that existing report functionality remains the same, but the overall experience is now significantly cleaner, more organized, more flexible, and dare we say more beautiful… all thanks to several powerful new additions designed to improve your reporting workflows and get your data to you faster.

• New report groupings and navigation Reports are now organized into clearer categories like Financial and Time & Utilization, so it’s easier to understand the broader types of reports available at a glance.

• New layouts, tailored to your preference Switch between grid and table views depending on how you prefer to browse and manage reports.

• A dedicated Custom Reports tab Quickly separate your custom-built reports from standard reports for easier access and management.

• Star your favorite reports Mark frequently used reports for quick and easy access (especially useful for teams relying heavily on Custom Reports).

• Duplicate pre-built reports into Custom Reports One of the biggest additions in this release: you can now duplicate a pre-built report and use it as a jumping-off point for further customization. Add or remove columns, apply filters, and save it as a brand-new Custom Report, dramatically reducing the usual setup time.

React with any emoji in Teamwork Chat

The most requested feature in Teamwork Chat history is here! You can now react to any Chat message with any emoji.

Whether you’re reacting with a salute, a cheers, or a facepalm (hey, some client messages just need them), simply pick any emoji from the full picker. Plus, your most-used reactions are just a single click away from the popover.

Note that for older versions of Chat (iOS, Android, old web/desktop), new reactions won't display, but you can still react with the original five emojis. Full support will be coming in upcoming releases, so stay tuned!
