DuckyHelper in Basecamp

DuckyHelper sees Basecamp on your screen and, in early access, works in it with its own cursor to create and complete to-dos, post to message boards, chat in Campfire, move cards across card tables, and add schedule entries. It's built to ask before it sends or pays, and explains or draws on Basecamp when you want to learn it.

Try asking
  • “Read the everything messages and create a message on a message board”
  • “Complete a to-do in Basecamp”
  • “Show me how to create a schedule entry”

Press fn (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud. Doing the work for you is early access on Mac.

BUILT TO ASK FIRST

It's built to wait for your OK in Basecamp.

When a job ends in “Create a message on a message board”, it does the work, and is built to stop with it ready. You see exactly what it wrote and where it goes, then Send, Edit or Deny.

It works in Basecamp signed in as you. If it hits a sign-in, you sign in yourself: it's built not to type your passwords or card numbers.
