DeskMonitor AI Tool Catalogue

Example queries

• "Show me my timesheet"
• "What does my timesheet look like this week?"
• "How many hours have I worked today?"
• "Show my clock-in and clock-out times for yesterday"

Usage scenario

Individual employees use this command to review their own timesheet without logging into the DeskMonitor portal. It is useful before submitting timesheets for approval, checking specific shifts, or verifying that clock-in times were recorded correctly.

Example queries

• "How many timesheets are waiting for approval?"
• "Show me pending approvals"
• "What timesheets need my sign-off?"
• "Are there any outstanding approvals?"

Usage scenario

Managers use this command at the start or end of the day to identify timesheet entries that require their review and approval. It returns all pending items so no approvals are missed at the end of a pay period.

Example queries

• "Clock me in"
• "Start my shift"
• "Record my start time for today"
• "I'm starting work now, clock me in"

Usage scenario

Employees use this command to record their start-of-shift time via their AI assistant. It is particularly useful for remote workers who have their AI client open but do not want to navigate to the DeskMonitor portal to clock in.

Example queries

• "Clock me out"
• "End my shift"
• "I'm done for the day, record my finish time"
• "Clock out and show me my hours"

Usage scenario

Employees use this command to record their end-of-shift time via their AI assistant, avoiding the need to open the DeskMonitor portal. After clocking out, the response confirms total hours worked for the shift.

Example queries

• "Give me a dashboard summary"
• "What's the current status of my team?"
• "How many employees are active right now?"
• "Give me the workforce overview for today"

Usage scenario

Managers and administrators use this command to get a real-time status snapshot of their workforce without opening the DeskMonitor dashboard. It is the most-used morning routine command — ask it first thing to see who is active, what the current hours tally is, and whether any alerts need attention.

Example queries

• "How many hours did my team work this week?"
• "Give me a team hours summary for July"
• "What are the total hours worked this month?"
• "Show me team hours for the last 7 days"
