Ask lets you ask Iron Octopus questions about your work in plain words. ⌘K gets you to anything in the app, or starts something new, from the keyboard.

​
Ask Iron Octopus

Open Ask from Ask Iron Octopus on a project page, or press ⌘K and type your question. Ask knows where you are: on a project page it answers about that project, and on a feature page about that feature. Good questions to ask:
  • “What’s waiting on me this week?”
  • “Why is the calendar feature taking so long?”
  • “What did review send back on the client portal?”
Ask answers questions. It doesn’t change anything in your workspace, so you can ask freely.

​
Ask why

When something under Needs you has failed or is stuck, click Ask why on its card. Ask opens with that question already asked about that feature.

​
⌘K

Press ⌘K anywhere in the app to:
  • Go somewhere: Home, a project, project or workspace settings, account settings, or work in progress.
  • Open anything by its ID: type BKG-F012 to open that feature, or BKG to open the project.
  • Start something: draft a feature from what you type, start a new feature or idea chat in a project, or create a project.
  • Ask Iron Octopus about what you’ve typed.
