Projects & Tasks

Visual workflows that ship.

Helm Projects & Tasks is the project management app inside the Helm platform. It runs task boards, subtasks, assignments, and project stages alongside CRM, time tracking, and invoicing. A project, its hours, its documents, and its client bill are the same record viewed different ways. AI agents read and act on the same project data your team does.

What's Inside

Everything you need to run projects & tasks.

Built into the platform. No add-ons, no integrations, no per-feature pricing.

Projects under every account

Every project belongs to a client. Tasks, time, documents, and invoices all route to the right account automatically.

Board, list, and table views

Switch between a kanban board grouped by status, a filterable list, and a table view. Same records, different angles.

Tasks and subtasks

Break work down with subtasks, priorities, statuses, assignees, and due dates. Grouping and filters work the same on every view.

Assign to people or agents

Assign tasks to teammates or AI agents with the same permission model. Agents work from inside the board, not around it.

Templates for repeatable work

Spin up onboarding, retainers, and launch projects from reusable templates. Stages, tasks, and assignments all pre-wired.

Private team-only comments

Mark a comment internal and it stays inside your team. Never surfaces to clients, guests, or the portal. Rare in PM tools, essential for agencies.

Recurring tasks

Weekly reports, monthly retainers, quarterly reviews. Define the cadence once and the tasks spawn themselves on schedule.

Custom fields on any task

Add fifteen field types: text, number, date, select, checkbox, URL, currency, and more. Filter and group by them on any view.

Workflows on project events

Project created, stage changed, task completed. Fire a workflow. Post to Slack. Queue the invoice. Kick off the next step.

How it connects

Wired into every other app by default.

Set Projects & Tasks up once. The rest of the platform uses it forever. One data layer, no sync, no glue scripts.

How it works

Board, list, or table. Without losing the context.

Every project lives under an account and carries its own tasks, subtasks, assignees, documents, and tracked time. Switch between a kanban board, a filterable list, and a table view without opening a new app. Assignments support humans and AI agents interchangeably, and stage changes fire workflows across the rest of the platform.

Connected by default

Hours, invoices, and client context are already linked.

Start a timer on a task and the hours land on the invoice. Attach a document and it shows up on the account. Mark a project complete and the close-out workflow runs. Because the project record is the same record everywhere else on the platform, you stop gluing tools together and start running the work.

Built for AI agents

Agents assign tasks, post standups, and flag blockers.

Project Manager and Project Coordinator agents have direct access to tasks, stages, and assignees. They can post weekly standups to Slack, reassign dropped tasks, flag overdue work before it becomes a delay, and summarize project health for clients. Running on the same data your team edits by hand.

Before / After

The difference an integrated projects & tasks makes.

Without Helm

Project management in one tool, time tracking in another, invoices somewhere else, client context in a fourth. Every status update is a copy-paste. Nobody knows what a project actually costs until a month after it ships. New hires spend a week just learning the stack.

With Helm

Project, hours, invoices, documents, and client context on one record. Margin is visible in real time. Agents summarize health, flag blockers, and kick off the next invoice without anyone asking. A new teammate sees the whole project in one scroll.

Common Workflows

What happens when you use it.

1
When

A deal closes in Sales Pipeline.

Helm does

Helm spawns the onboarding project from your template, assigns the PM, and attaches the signed SOW.

2
When

A task goes three days overdue.

Helm does

Project Coordinator agent flags it, pings the assignee, and updates the project health summary.

3
When

A project moves to the "delivered" stage.

Helm does

Workflow fires the invoice, posts the win to Slack, and nudges the account manager for a check-in.

4
When

A teammate drops a task.

Helm does

Project Manager agent reassigns based on workload, posts the update, and notes it on the project.

AI Staff

AI staff with scoped access, configurable autonomy, and the same data your team uses.

FAQ

Questions about Projects & Tasks.

How does Helm Projects compare to Monday, Asana, ClickUp, or Linear?

Those tools are horizontal project managers with no CRM, invoicing, or time tracking built in. Helm Projects is part of a platform that already knows who the client is, what the budget is, and how many hours have been logged. AI agents inside Helm can execute on project data directly; agents in standalone tools need integrations to do the same.

What views are supported?

Three task views inside a project: a kanban board grouped by status, a filterable list, and a table view. The Projects index supports list, cards, and a kanban board grouped by project stage. Calendar, a separate app, pulls tasks with due dates into agenda, day, week, and month views.

Are subtasks supported? What about dependencies?

Subtasks are supported via parent/child relationships, with full assignments, statuses, and due dates on each. Task-to-task dependencies and a dedicated critical-path view are on the roadmap. Today we surface blockers through workflows, agent summaries, and overdue signals.

Can AI agents manage projects?

Yes. Agents with read-write access to Projects can create, assign, and update tasks; post status updates; and route work across team members. Autonomy is configurable: observe, suggest, or auto-execute per agent.

Are there project limits on Starter?

Starter plans include up to 25 projects and 500 tasks. Pro and Business plans are unlimited. See the Pricing page for full limits.

Can clients see projects?

Yes, on Business plans. The Client Portal gives clients a scoped view of the projects you share with them, including status, documents, and approvals. You control exactly what they see.
