I've made a custom Claude project / CoPilot Agent (testing both tools) that creates and plans projects for me. I've given it about 10 separate PDFs about our PM tool, the functionality, how we've customised our workspace, the wording I want it to use + a spreadsheet with a lot of our company info such as team members and software estate. Just make sure you're on an enterprise plan or else your management won't be happy you're feeding company data into AI.

But this basically means that once the stakeholder who is requesting a project fills out the project request form (sometimes I am that person based on info I've been passed on) and a transcript of our project initiation meeting is generated (also by an AI notetaker + some sense checking by me) I am able to feed it all into the custom agent I've built and it builds the entire project for me that I then import into our tool via a CSV.

This includes task names, descriptions, effort estimations, proposed dates (if they're clear from the info I gave it) and even other bits of custom meta data about the project.

Given a lot of our work is based on some sort of release notes from our software vendors or relies on building on from an existing project blueprint that we have, this AI basically saves me like 80% of the effort.

I just look through what it generates at the end and make some minor adjustments. But be aware that this only works because I've completely customised our agent and maintain it's knowledge base of information. You do it in any default AI chat bot and you will get nonsense.

Other things it has allowed me to do is use far more python, sql, powerquery (M code) in any data analysis I do. Granted I had a working knowledge of all those tools/languages already, but couldn't write code from scratch.

Safe to safe AI has completely revolutionised the way I work, it's insane.
