An assistant that actually does things
A global AI assistant that takes real actions across your workspace: creating tasks, posting updates, inviting members, and more, with around 25 tools and your own API key.
Most AI assistants talk; this one works. Openbook's assistant has around 25 tools it can use across your workspace: create tasks, post updates, invite members, and more. Ask for something and it does the thing, not just describes how you might do the thing yourself.
You stay in control. Destructive actions require your confirmation before they run, and the assistant is bring-your-own-key: plug in your Anthropic, OpenAI, or DeepSeek key and use the model you already trust, on your own terms. Kanban boards even get their own per-board AI chat for help in context.
What you get
Everything inside AI Assistant
Around 25 tools
The assistant acts across Openbook: creating tasks, posting updates, inviting members, and more. It's an operator, not a chatbot.
Real actions
Ask and it does. Work that used to mean five clicks across three rooms becomes one request in plain language.
Confirmation on destructive actions
Anything destructive waits for your explicit yes before it runs. The assistant moves fast; it doesn't move recklessly.
Bring your own key
Use your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or DeepSeek API key. Your model choice, your account, your terms.
Works workspace-wide
The assistant is global, so it helps across your spaces and rooms rather than being locked to one corner of the product.
AI where it helps most
Beyond the global assistant: per-board AI chat on kanban boards, an AI plan generator in Gantt, and AI meeting summaries in retros.
