Meet Timely AutoSheet

Time Tracking: AutoSheet Handbook Your AI-powered teammate for smarter time tracking — get intelligent, contextual suggestions based on your workday.

Video transcript

Hey everyone, Mathias here, founder of Timely. Let me give you a quick overview of what makes Timely so different from every other time tracking tool out there. What really sets it apart is our AutoSheet feature. It makes time tracking fully automatic without sacrificing accuracy.

This is how it works: when you first set up Timely, you connect your calendar and install the Memory desktop app, so we can capture your computer activity. And importantly here, all that activity data is completely private — only you can see it, never your manager or anyone else.

And from that moment on, AutoSheet takes over. Every morning, our AI analyzes your activity from the previous day, and then automatically generates a complete timesheet for you. Let me show you how it works.

This is what a completed timesheet looks like in Timely, and everything you see here was generated by the AI system. In the top, you have your hourly total. Currently it says you’re in a private draft mode, so only you and you alone can see this timesheet before you submit it.

Below that, you have the summary section, which gives you a quick and clear snapshot of how your time was distributed across projects, tags, and linked work if you use them.

And below that are the actual individual time entries, and the AI fills in everything for you — project, hours, tags, detailed notes. All you have to do is review it, and if everything looks good, you just hit submit. One click, and you’ve completed your entire timesheet.

If you do want to make changes, you can edit anything you see here. Just tap it, do any edits you might want to do, and then hit submit again if you’re happy. And if you do want to see what these entries are based on, just click this button over here to view the individual activities that the AI system is looking at.

Early on, you might want to help teach the AI by reassigning a couple of these entries to the right project, and when you then select a project and reassign them, that’s how you’re teaching the AI system and how to make better suggestions in the future.

And that was a quick overview of AutoSheet. Give it a try, and let’s finally put an end to time tracking once and for all.

Timely AutoSheet is an AI agent that writes your timesheets for you. It fills out everything — projects, tags, time entries, and full text summaries — so you don’t have to. All based on the activity captured by your Memory app and integrations, AutoSheet analyzes your workday, groups it into meaningful time blocks, and assigns everything to the right place. All you need to do is review and hit submit!

What is Timely AutoSheet?

Timely AutoSheet is a standalone, AI-powered experience that creates a complete timesheet proposal for you using the activity captured by your Memory app and integrations.

It processes that activity into clear time blocks, assigns projects and tags intelligently, and suggests a high-level summary for each time entry—so you don’t have to log everything manually.

Using a blend of pattern recognition, historical project mappings, and AI reasoning, it will:

• Identify unlogged hours
• Suggest a project assignment
• Generate a concise activity summary
• Present you with one-click logging options

How it works

The Timely AutoSheet uses your Memory activity (from connected sources like the Memory app, integrations, and manual entries) to analyze what you were working on and when.

Suggestions appear in the Hours > Timesheet view whenever unlogged time is detected.

You can click each suggestion to view details or edit before logging. Or, if everything looks good, you can approve and log all suggestions at once.

If adjustments are needed to those suggestions, you can use the project and tags dropdown to re-assign those activities to the more appropriate project or task.

In just a click you can also see exactly what memories or integration activities prompted that AI suggestion:

If you’d like to adjust the summary interval, language of your suggestions, or completely reset your AI mode, use the options toggle in the top right-hand corner:

Optimizing your Timely AutoSheet experience

To get the most out of the Timely AutoSheet:

• Stay consistent: The assistant learns from your history, so regular and accurate logging helps improve future suggestions
• Use descriptive project and task names: This helps the AI map activity more confidently and generate clearer summaries
• Install the Memory app: More activity data = better suggestions. Download the app here
• Review and approve your timesheets: While the assistant is smart, your final review ensures everything is logged correctly!

FAQs

Where does the data come from?

The assistant uses your Memory app and integrations (like Google Calendar, Teams, Zoom, etc.) to create detailed activity summaries.

What if a suggestion is incorrect?

You can change the project, summary, or duration before logging, or simply dismiss the suggestion altogether.

Is this available on all plans?

Timely AutoSheet is rolling out to select users with an active subscription.

Why don’t I see any suggestions?

Suggestions only appear when there’s unlogged time with associated memory activity. If you’re not seeing suggestions, check that you have the Memory app installed and running. You can also click the “Manual Entry” button to manually assign time, which further trains the AI for the future.

Why did automatic timesheet generation stop?

If you haven’t accepted any timesheet in a workspace for more than 7 days, AutoSheet pauses automatic generation for that workspace. This avoids piling up draft timesheets you haven’t reviewed.

To re-enable, just accept any timesheet in that workspace — the next morning’s automatic generation will resume.

The pause is per workspace: if you’re a member of multiple workspaces, automatic generation continues uninterrupted in workspaces where you’ve accepted a timesheet within the last 7 days.

Manual generation from the Hours > Timesheet view continues to work normally regardless of the pause.

Is my data secure?

Yes, as always in Timely, your memory data stays private and secure. AI processing is done in a way that protects your personal information and never shares sensitive memory data with 3rd parties.

Can I switch back to the Classic or Legacy Timeline / List views?

Yes, you can switch back to the Classic or Legacy Timeline and List views at any time. You’ll see a “Switch to Classic” button in the top right hand corner of your AI Timesheet to make the switch.
