AI agents for Basecamp
A Monmo agent works in Basecamp the way a project manager at a small agency would. It turns meeting notes into to-dos with owners and due dates, catches you up on Campfire, drafts Message Board posts and the weekly client update, gathers check-in answers into one summary, and keeps Docs & Files tidy. It uses your own Basecamp account and asks before it posts, assigns or changes anything.

What agents do in Basecamp
Turn meeting notes into to-dos
After a project call it reads your notes and drafts to-dos on the right list, each with an assignee, a due date and the context from the meeting in its notes.
AskTurn today's call notes into to-dos on the Website redesign project, with owners and dates.
Catch you up on Campfire
After two days away, it reads the project's Campfire and gives you the decisions made, the questions waiting on you and anything someone promised the client.
AskI was out Monday and Tuesday. What happened in the Fernway project's Campfire that I need to know?
Draft the weekly client update
Every Friday it reads the project's completed to-dos, messages and schedule, and drafts the client update for the Message Board in plain words, posted once you approve.
AskEvery Friday at 2, draft the client update for each active project from what got done this week.
Gather the check-in answers
From the team's answers to your automatic check-ins, such as what did you work on today, it writes a short weekly summary of progress, blockers and recurring themes.
AskSummarise this week's answers to the daily check-in: progress, blockers and anything that came up twice.
Keep the schedule in step
It compares the project schedule with to-dos and their due dates, lists events and deadlines that no longer match, and proposes the changes on one card.
AskCheck the Fernway schedule against its to-dos and tell me which dates no longer match.
Tidy Docs & Files
It finds duplicate uploads, drafts filed in the wrong folder and files with names like final-v3, then proposes a cleaner set of folders and names before moving anything.
AskTidy the Docs & Files in the Brand refresh project. Propose folders and names before moving anything.
Start a project from your template
When a new client signs, it prepares the project from your template: to-do lists, schedule dates from the kickoff and the welcome message. Creating it and inviting the client ask first.
AskSet up a project for Oakline from our Retainer template, with kickoff on the 4th. Do not invite them yet.
How it connects
- 1You connect your own Basecamp account once. The agent sees the projects that account has been added to and nothing else.
- 2You choose which agents may use Basecamp. Your Chief of Staff or an account management agent fits; a developer agent may need only one project.
- 3Reading projects, to-dos, messages and Campfire needs no approval. Posting messages or Campfire lines, adding, assigning or completing to-dos, uploading files and inviting people ask first.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent work in Basecamp?
Yes. A Monmo agent reads your projects, drafts to-dos, Message Board posts and client updates, and summarises Campfire and check-ins. Anything that posts, assigns or changes a project waits for your approval on a card. It works through the Basecamp connection, or in its own browser when the connection does not cover a step.
Can the agent post where clients can see it?
Only after you approve, and it tells you who will see it. Basecamp lets you choose whether a message or to-do is visible to clients, so each card says whether the post is for the client or only for your team. Anything client-facing gets a second read from you before it goes.
Can it answer Basecamp check-ins for me?
It can draft your answer from what you did that day, using your completed to-dos, your Google Calendar and the messages you sent, and show it to you before posting. Posting in your name always asks first. It can also gather everyone's answers into one weekly note.
Does it suit an agency with many client projects?
Yes. The AI agent can run the same weekly routine across every active project: summarise the week, draft each client update and list overdue to-dos. You review the drafts project by project, or the whole set on one card, before anything is posted.
