Using Beringin AI

Using the AI Assistant

The AI Assistant is your always-on teammate for research, drafting, and daily execution. What you can do - Brainstorm — product ideas, launch plans, content outlines. - Research — summarize topics and compare options. - Draft — emails, specs, meeting agendas, documentation. - Plan — turn a vague goal into a concrete task list. From chat to action The real power is the connection to the rest of the workspace: 1. Ask the AI to plan something ("plan a product launch for next month"). 2. Turn the AI's output into tasks in your project without retyping anything. 3. Assign owners and deadlines, then track execution in your board. Tips for better results - Give context: who the work is for, what "done" looks like. - Ask for a specific format: a table, a checklist, or a milestone breakdown. - Iterate — follow-up questions beat one giant prompt.

Managing projects: boards, lists, and milestones

Every project in Beringin AI can be viewed the way you think: - Board (Kanban) — drag tasks between columns like To Do, In Progress, Done. - List — scan and edit tasks fast, great for big backlogs. - Timeline — see how work fits together over the weeks. - Calendar — spot scheduling conflicts at a glance. Milestones and deadlines 1. Create a milestone for each major outcome (e.g. "Beta launch"). 2. Attach tasks and a deadline to it. 3. Watch progress fill up on the project dashboard — task summaries, workload distribution, and real-time status. Daily habits that work - Start the day from the dashboard, not your inbox. - Keep tasks small enough to finish in a day. - Use the dashboard to rebalance workload before someone drowns.

Writing and organizing docs

Docs in Beringin AI keep knowledge with the work — no more hunting through a separate notes app. Creating docs 1. Open Docs and click New Document. 2. Write using simple formatting — headings, lists, checklists. 3. Link the doc to a project so it shows up in context. AI-assisted writing Use the AI Assistant to draft docs from a prompt: meeting notes turned into action items, research turned into a summary, or a spec outline ready for your edits. Organizing tips - One doc per topic — link related docs instead of building mega-documents. - Use consistent naming: Project – Topic – Type (e.g. "Launch – PRD – Draft"). - Turn "Reports → Docs + insights" into a routine: summaries linked to the right project, so decisions stay searchable.

Tracking your time

Time tracking in Beringin AI is built into the work itself — start a timer from any task and the hours are tied to the right project automatically. Starting a timer 1. Open a task (or use the Start Timer button in the top bar). 2. Pick the project/task you're working on. 3. Hit start — stop when you switch context. Why bother? - See real effort per project, not just what was finished. - Spot tasks that always take longer than estimated. - Give clients or stakeholders honest reports. Making it a habit The trick is low friction: start the timer when you start the task, stop it when you stop working. Review the weekly report during your Friday wrap-up — five minutes is enough.
