While not everyone is comfortable with how prevalent AI is becoming in creative fields, there is no doubt that AI can save time and even reduce human error, when it comes to completing repetitive tasks and managing interdependent workflows. It is proving a game changer in the field of project management, freeing up human time for creative work and providing data for strategic decision making.
But with so many AI tools on the market, what are genuinely useful AI tools for project management?
AI Functionality for Project Management
AI tools can assist with various parts of the project management workflow. Project management AI tools are being leveraged to:
- Streamline and automate routine and repetitive tasks
- Layout workflows based on previous projects and experience
- Enable smart resource allocation to cut costs
- Summarize meetings and generate communications
- Create questions and respond based on project data
- Provide real-time insights to detect patterns and inform decision-making
- Use historical data to predict pain points and mitigate risks
Finding the right AI project management tool depends on your business workflow and what other tools you use. However, dedicated AI project management tools that are designed to support projects end-to-end are now becoming available. Below are our three top picks available in 2025:
Asana
Asana is a collaborative project management platform that has been around since 2008 but is now capable of doing much more with AI.
This tool offers pre-built workflows with best practices in mind – based on your project – so you can hit the ground running. It can handle routine tasks and reporting within workflows to free up the team to work on higher-impact tasks. It can also generate first drafts of emails and reports. Plus, Asana will deliver insights that help you keep the project on track, and you can ask Asana questions and receive responses based on project documentation.
Prices start from $10.99 per user per month for a Starter plan (billed annually), but $24.99 per month for more Advanced features (also billed annually).
ClickUp
ClickUp is another end-to-end solution for managing projects and remote teams using enhanced AI features. This can generate subtasks, automate status updates, and create meeting agendas. It provides smart summarizing of meetings and email threads and can generate emails and reports.
ClickUp Brain analyses project data to predict outcomes and potential issues.
ClickUp is becoming popular as a more affordable alternative to Asana, starting with the Unlimited Plan at $7 per month per user (billed annually) or the Enterprise plan at $12 per month per user (billed annually).
Monday
Monday is a more expensive tool because it integrates project management with a Sales Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. Plans start at $9 per user per month (billed annually).
Monday can build automated workflows by learning from past interactions, automating routine tasks, rephrasing and summarizing complex topics, analyzing large quantities of data to optimize resource allocation, and producing meaningful insights to drive decision-making. In the CRM you get AI-powered predictive analytics and sales forecasting, sentiment analysis, lead data collection, and AI customer support tools.
