A Guide to WorkBoard’s GenAI Features

Co-Author drafts OKRs, executive summaries and team status reports for you in seconds – so you can quickly edit and refine them rather than start from scratch.

Team Summaries

Use GenAI to draft a status report for the team’s OKRs and workstreams. Accelerate your team and reduce meeting time in 2 ways:

  1. Anyone can run a status summary in their time zone and language to get the latest status.
  2. Team managers can generate a draft, review and then publish it to the whole team and beyond.

Skip the sitting-down standup with team status summaries!

  • Insert it as a tray on the Biz Review.

Organize and compile the team's observations from brainstorms and retros!

Use GenAI to summarize stickies from brainstorming sessions or team retros, or quickly cluster stickies by theme, so you can focus more time on planning and executing and less on organizing.

  • Select multiple stickies on your Canvas, then click the Co-Author icon and select whether you’d like to Summarize stickies or Cluster stickies by theme.
  • Following a team retro, click the Co-Author icon at the top of the Retro template and select Summarize Reflect & Reset to generate a shareable narrative capturing the team's learnings.

Be the manager you always wanted to have and always wanted to be.
