AI assistants and connected apps
Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another AI assistant to a project, choose what it may do, and disconnect it.
You can connect an AI assistant, such as Claude or ChatGPT, to one of your projects. Then you can ask it what's waiting on a whiteboard, tick tasks off, start them and add new ones by chatting or talking to it, and, if you allow it, ask questions about the rest of the project.
Connecting apps is in beta, open to invited accounts. When it's on for you, Settings has a Connected apps section with the address to give your assistant.
What you choose#
Each connection is for one project. When you connect, RenovU asks what the assistant may do there:
- One whiteboard: read and update. It sees what's on that whiteboard, ticks tasks and their subtasks done or not done, starts them and adds new ones, pinned to the whiteboard.
- Read the whole project. It reads tasks, rooms, the budget and spending, the shopping list and the timeline. It can't change any of it.
Whatever you tick, it can never do more than your role in the project allows. If your role can't see money, neither can the assistant.
Who did what#
Changes an assistant makes are yours: the project's Activity shows them as made by you, via the app ("Sam via Claude"). Everyone watching a task hears about them as usual.
Staying in control#
Settings, Connected apps lists every app you've connected, what it may do and when it was last used. Disconnect ends its access at once. RenovU emails you whenever a new app is connected, so you'd notice one you didn't connect.

Questions
Is it safe to connect an AI assistant?
It gets only what you tick, for one project, and never more than your role there allows. RenovU never gives it your password: it signs in with its own key, which you can end at any time with Disconnect in Settings. What it reads is processed by the assistant's provider under their terms, as the Privacy Policy explains.
Why don't I see Connected apps in Settings?
Connecting apps is in beta, open to invited accounts. The section appears once it's on for your account, or when you already have an app connected.
How do I tell what an assistant changed?
The project's Activity shows changes made through an assistant as yours, with the app's name: "Sam via Claude". A task's History shows them too.
