Asana, Monday, Notion and Linear are excellent task tools — and they've all bolted on AI assistants. EcoCloud is built the other way around: AI-native from the task model up, with a governance layer that lets agents actually do the work — safely, provably, reversibly.
The incumbents added an AI assistant to a mature task tool. EcoCloud started from one question: what happens when an AI agent does the work?
One composer turns "review the vendor renewal for Acme by Friday, high priority" into a fully-formed task — owner, deadline, priority, tags. Dispatch, not a form.
Any AI assistant — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor — operates your workspace over MCP + REST. It reads, creates, and completes tasks. The others let AI suggest; EcoCloud lets agents act.
Full AI Dispatch is included in Pro at $12/seat — no separate "AI credits" meter or premium add-on tier to unlock the intelligence.
Most dispatches never call an LLM at all — a cost-aware pipeline resolves them on-device for $0, and every one that does run is stamped with its model, confidence & reason. See the model, the data it sees & every failure mode →
Letting AI do real work is only safe if every action is bounded, recorded, and reversible. That's a layer the incumbents simply don't have — and it's what makes EcoCloud enterprise-ready.
A policy that gates every action — priority caps, forbidden actions, approval thresholds, quiet hours. Risky moves are held for a human, not silently run.
Every action lands in a tamper-evident, ES256-signed chain — not a plain log you have to trust. Verifiable by anyone, offline.
"Done" becomes provable — a signed record of intent → action → verified result, for auditors, customers, and agents alike.
Agents simulate the effect, pass the policy gate, then execute — with a compensating reversal path if anything goes wrong.
The constitution, authorization, and injection-defense kernels are Apache-2.0 — governance you can inspect and run yourself, not a black box.
Every agent gets a signed, revocable key with its own scopes, rate limits, and a reputation score — Know-Your-Agent before it touches your work.
When a request does reach the model, it sees only the sentence you type — never your board, members, or client names. Everything else is applied server-side by deterministic code, and you can bring your own key (AES-256-GCM). See exactly what it sends →
An honest matrix. They're capable tools with their own AI — the difference is the governance & agent-operations layer.

Honest by design. Asana, Monday.com, Notion and Linear are strong, mature task tools, and all four now ship AI features — we're not claiming otherwise. The "~" rows reflect that AI capability and pricing vary by plan. The "—" rows are the genuine category gap: none of them expose a policy-gated, signed, agent-operable governance layer. Verify ours yourself — the kernels run live in your browser on the Trust Layer, and exactly what's shipped is on /whats-live. Comparing agent-observability tools instead?
