Your new intelligent copilot. Impulsum’s AI Assistant isn’t a generic chatbot - it’s a project management specialist that knows your projects, your team, and your context better than any traditional tool.
🎯 What Makes Our AI Assistant Special
Specialization vs. Generalization
ℹ️
🧠 Key difference: While ChatGPT knows a little about everything, Impulsum’s AI Assistant is a project management expert that understands your specific situation.
Generic ChatGPT:
Doesn’t know your current projects
General responses without context
Can’t take actions in your tools
Each conversation starts from scratch
Impulsum AI Assistant:
Knows all your projects and teams
Specific responses for your situation
Can create tickets, generate reports, send notifications
Persistent memory of your context and preferences

Performance:
• Velocity: 38 SP/sprint (down 15% from last month)
• Quality: 94% (excellent, above target)
Individual highlights:
• Ana: Overloaded (130% capacity) - needs support
• Carlos: High performer, ready for senior tasks
• María: New joiner, ramping up well (3 weeks in)
Recommendations:

• Impact: Could delay release by 5-7 days
• Action: Meeting today with Backend team lead
🟡 Medium: Frontend team
• Ana showing stress signals (late hours, fewer comments)
• Impact: Quality risk if not addressed
• Action: 1-on-1 this week recommended
🟡 Medium: PLATFORM project
• Testing environment unstable for 3 days

💬 How to interact with your AI Assistant
Conversation Best Practices
✅
🎯 Pro tip: The AI Assistant works best when you talk to it like you would talk to a senior experienced PM - direct, specific, and with context.
Effective Question Patterns
📊 Status Questions
Great status questions:
“How are my most critical projects going?”
“What changed since yesterday that I should know?”
“Which team needs more attention this week?”
“Are we on-track for Q4 deliverables?”
Why these work:
Specific scope (critical projects, time-bound)
Action-oriented (what needs attention)
Business-focused (deliverables, outcomes)
Less effective:
“How are things going?” (too broad)
“Any updates?” (no specific context)
🔍 Analysis Questions
Deep-dive analysis:
“Why is the Frontend team slower this sprint?”
“What correlation exists between code reviews and bug rates?”
“What are the patterns in our most frequent delays?”
“What projects have the best current ROI?”
Comparative analysis:
“How does this sprint compare vs the last 3?”
“Which team improved their performance most this quarter?”
“MOBILE vs PLATFORM - which delivers more predictably?”
Root cause analysis:
“Why is PLATFORM always delayed?”
“What is causing the bugs in checkout?”
“Why did team satisfaction drop this month?”
📅 Planning Questions
Resource planning:
“What capacity do we have available for the next 2 weeks?”
“Who should I assign the most critical sprint task to?”
“Do we need to hire more developers for Q1?”
Timeline planning:
“When can we realistically deliver the MVP?”
“What happens if we move the deadline 2 weeks?”
“What is the earliest possible release date?”
Sprint planning:
“How many story points should we commit to?”
“What tickets are ready for the next sprint?”
“Are there dependencies to resolve before starting?”
Strategic planning:
“What initiatives have the greatest business impact?”
“How to balance technical debt vs new features?”
“Where to invest resources for the greatest ROI?”
⚡ Action Questions
Immediate actions:
“What needs my attention RIGHT NOW?”
“What are the top 3 actions for this week?”
“What can I do to accelerate project X?”
Problem-solving:
“How to resolve the conflict between teams A and B?”
“What options do I have to recover from the delay?”
“How to communicate the risk to the stakeholder?”
Decision support:
“Should I postpone the release or cut scope?”
“Is overtime worth it to hit the deadline?”
“What project to pause to focus on the critical one?”
Follow-through:
“Were yesterday’s recommendations implemented?”
“Did the solution you suggested work?”
“Do we need to adjust the strategy?”
