The problem it solves

Every time you run a recurring process, like onboarding a new hire or handling an incident, you end up recreating the same checklist and deadlines from scratch. It's easy for a step to get missed or a deadline to be set wrong.

Who it fits

An operations, HR, or project manager who runs the same process repeatedly and needs consistent task tracking.

How it works

  1. Starts when an assignee, template, and start date are submitted
  2. Looks up the matching process template and its steps
  3. Calculates each task's deadline based on the days allowed
  4. Creates all the tasks at once with the right assignee and due dates
  5. Sends a confirmation back
What you get

Task lists ready with deadlines already calculated

Your saved process template turns into a full set of assigned tasks with deadlines already calculated and ready for you to track.

What you get

A complete, assigned task list with deadlines, saved to your project tracker.

What you need

A Baserow account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
