AI Features

Hypertask is built from the ground up as an AI-native project management platform. AI isn’t bolted on as an afterthought — it’s woven into every part of the workflow, from creating tasks to communicating with your team.

AI Task Writer

Describe what you need. Get detailed, context-aware tasks.

Voice Dictation

Speak your thoughts. Hypertask transcribes and structures them.

HyperAI Co-worker

Chat with an AI that knows your project — and can take action on it.

Text Enhancement

Improve grammar and readability of any text with one click.

AI Task Writer

Section titled “AI Task Writer”

Instead of manually writing detailed task descriptions, tell the AI Task Writer what you need in plain language. It generates fully structured tasks with context-aware details.

How it works:

  1. Open the AI Task Writer from any board.
  2. Describe what you need — a sentence or two is enough.
  3. The AI uses your project context (existing tasks, descriptions, labels) and any custom instructions you’ve configured to generate a detailed task.
  4. Toggle web search on if the AI should research external information (documentation, APIs, best practices) while writing the task.
  5. Review, edit if needed, and add the task to your board.

The Task Writer maintains a history of responses, so you can revisit previous suggestions and reuse them.

Voice Dictation

Section titled “Voice Dictation”

Capture ideas hands-free with OpenAI Whisper-powered voice dictation. Use it anywhere you can type — task titles, descriptions, comments.

FeatureDetails
Keyboard shortcutShift + Cmd/Ctrl + D
Continuous modeKeep talking without pressing buttons repeatedly
Echo cancellationWorks in noisy environments and during calls
Noise suppressionFilters out background noise for cleaner transcription
MultilingualSupports all languages that Whisper recognizes

Speak naturally. The transcription handles punctuation, formatting, and language detection automatically.

Text Enhancement

Section titled “Text Enhancement”

Select any text in a task description or comment and click Improve Readability. The AI refines grammar, clarity, and style while preserving your meaning.

  • Works on any text field in the app
  • Preserves technical terms and project-specific language
  • Undo support — revert to the original text if you prefer it

This is intentionally lightweight. It’s not a rewrite — it’s a polish.

HyperAI Co-worker

Section titled “HyperAI Co-worker”

HyperAI is an AI chat sidebar built into the Hypertask app. It’s context-aware: it knows your project, your tasks, and your team structure.

What makes it useful

Section titled “What makes it useful”
  • Project context — HyperAI can see your boards, tasks, and project configuration. Ask it questions like “What are the highest priority tasks this week?” or “Summarize what happened on the API project yesterday.” It also understands archived tasks, so you can query completed or archived work.
  • Take action — HyperAI can create tasks, assign team members, set priorities, add labels, and manage your board directly from the chat sidebar. Just tell it what you need — “Create a high-priority bug for the login issue and assign it to Sarah” — and it handles the rest.
  • @mentions — reference specific tasks, people, or projects in your messages to give the AI precise context.
  • Ask AI from comments — see a comment or description you want to dig into? Click the “Ask AI” button on any comment or task description to send it directly into an AI chat, where you can ask follow-up questions or get analysis.
  • Chat sessions with history — conversations are saved as named sessions. The AI automatically gives each chat a descriptive name, and you can browse your full chat history to pick up where you left off.
  • Fast, responsive streaming — AI chat uses optimized streaming for low-latency responses, with a smooth conversation flow that keeps up with your thinking.

Keyboard shortcuts

Auto-Summary

Section titled “Auto-Summary”

When a task accumulates a long comment thread, Hypertask generates an automatic summary so you can get up to speed without reading every message.

Auto-summaries highlight:

  • Key decisions made in the thread
  • Current status and blockers
  • Action items that emerged from the discussion

Custom AI Instructions

Section titled “Custom AI Instructions”

Tailor how AI features behave on a per-project basis.

Project-level configuration

Section titled “Project-level configuration”
  • Custom instructions — write free-text instructions that guide AI behavior. For example: “Always include acceptance criteria in generated tasks” or “Use British English.”
  • Attached documents — upload files that give the AI domain-specific knowledge (RAG). Product specs, API docs, style guides — anything that helps the AI understand your project’s context.
  • Model selection — choose which AI model powers your project’s AI features.
  • Visibility — set instructions as public (visible to all members) or private (visible only to you).

Supported models

Section titled “Supported models”
  • GPT-5.2 — most capable OpenAI model
  • GPT-5 mini — faster and more cost-effective
