AI Support Features in AB Projects
What AI does in AB Projects today: an AI greeting on the dashboard, an AI summary and suggested subtasks on tasks, a Teams bot with commands plus conversational AI (1-on-1 and channel @mention), and MCP assistants — all with clear AI disclosure.
Why AB Projects Requires Microsoft Graph Permissions
The Microsoft Graph API permissions AB Projects uses and why — covering Teams channel linking and roster sync, posting task activity and syncing thread replies, Outlook calendar scheduling, and Microsoft SSO. The Entra app registration / consent screen is the authoritative list.
Images or Files Won't Upload
Image won't upload in AB Projects? Images are embedded via the editor (comments, descriptions) and icon pickers, stored in AB Projects storage — not OneDrive/SharePoint. Check format, size, your signed-in session, and network.
Microsoft Teams App Doesn't Load
AB Projects tab not loading in Microsoft Teams? Work through reloading, updating/restarting the Teams client, Microsoft SSO and admin consent, clearing Teams cache, unblocking blz.actionbridge.io on the network, and checking app install/consent.
I Can't See My Tasks
Tasks not showing in AB Projects? Work through project selection, the filter panel (completed/omitted hidden by default and remembered), the List/Gantt/Kanban views (Gantt needs dates), Teams-channel membership sync, and reloading.
Notification Preferences
What you can configure for AB Projects notifications: your personal task digest's delivery method (email/Teams) and schedule, in Settings → Task Reminders. Real-time Teams channel activity is automatic; per-event toggles, task following, per-task due reminders, and an in-app inbox don't exist yet.
Language and Locale Settings
AB Projects is localized into English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), with Arabic and Russian on the Teams listing/bot. Set your language in the Settings tab; English is the fallback.
Editing Your Profile and Icon
Edit your AB Projects profile from the Settings tab: display name, profile icon, language, timezone, and email signature. Your name and icon are seeded from Microsoft 365 and appear in tasks, comments, mentions, and Teams Adaptive Cards.
Exporting and Accessing Project Data
AB Projects does not yet provide CSV/report export of task or project data. This article explains how data is preserved (per-task change history, the Teams channel record) and the ways to access it today (filtered views, MCP/AI queries, the scheduled digest).
Built-in Automation
AB Projects automates the routine work out of the box — status-driven progress, subtask roll-up, automatic Teams updates, channel-driven membership sync, and the scheduled digest. There is no custom if-this-then-that rule builder; this article explains what runs automatically.
Daily Digest and AI Assistance
How AB Projects helps daily: a per-user digest of your top open tasks (email/Teams, in Settings → Task Reminders), an AI summary on each task, AI-suggested subtasks you confirm before creating, and MCP AI assistants with clear AI disclosure.
Notifications and Reminders
How notifications work in AB Projects: real-time Adaptive Card activity and @mentions in the linked Teams channel, plus a per-user scheduled digest of your top open tasks by email and/or Teams direct message, configured in personal Settings → Task Reminders.
Commenting with Mentions in Channels
Learn how task comments in AB Projects work with Microsoft Teams. Mention members with the chip picker to @mention them in the channel post, every comment posts to the linked Teams thread, and replies in Teams sync back to the task.
Using Tabs for Task Management
Learn how to manage tasks inside Microsoft Teams with the AB Projects channel tab: List, Gantt, and Kanban views, creating tasks, the slide-in detail panel, comments and mentions, filtering, and how changes are logged and posted to the channel.
Installing the AB Projects Teams App
Learn how to install the AB Projects app in Microsoft Teams as a personal app or a channel tab. Includes the channel setup flow (create or link a project, project types), the included bot, and Microsoft SSO sign-in.
Managing Project Settings
Learn how to manage AB Projects project settings: name, description, icon, perma name, estimate unit, task workflow (statuses, types, environments), GitHub integration, the Microsoft Teams link, and ownership, leaving, and deletion.
