AI in your PM workflow: how good is it, really?

Published 9 July 2026

Every major PM tool now ships AI as standard, not as an added extra. Here is what is actually useful across Asana and Monday.com, and what is still marketing hype.

Asana: AI Teammates and AI Studio

Asana's AI Teammates and AI Studio can genuinely automate repetitive, clearly defined work: status chasing, request triage, routine updates, once someone who understands the underlying process sets them up properly. The tools are only as good as the workflow you feed them. Hand them a messy process and they will automate the mess faster.

Monday.com: AI automation builder

Describe an automation in plain English and Monday builds it correctly around 80% of the time without editing. It's one of the strongest AI features on the market for teams without dedicated technical support, genuinely useful for coordination, not for judgment calls.

Where AI actually delivers

Meeting transcripts, summaries and action item lists are good enough to ship to stakeholders with light editing. That's the clearest win across every platform right now. If you are still writing these by hand, this is the easiest place to claw back hours every week.

Where it still falls short

Forecasting is only as good as your historical project data, and most agencies' data is messy. Resource allocation AI is only as good as your skills and availability data, which is rarely accurate once real meetings hit the calendar. Autonomous "agent" features that read your plan and replan automatically work well in demos, not on a real project with ambiguous status and office politics.

The practical split: use AI for coordination and automation, things like scheduling, status updates and summarising. Keep the judgment calls, prioritisation, stakeholder management and forecasting, with a PM who has a framework. That's what PM Hub gives you: the framework the AI still can't replace.

Do I need Asana, Monday.com or any specific tool?

No. PM Hub's frameworks and templates work alongside whatever PM tool your agency already uses. The frameworks are the constant; the tools just execute them.
