Questions

What can the AI do in TalentDesk?

It can read projects, tasks, project teams, worksheets, expense claims, invoices, pro-forma invoices, time entries, opportunities, users, provider rates and your organization. It can create and update projects and tasks, and send a worksheet back to the provider for changes.

Does the AI see my TalentDesk API key?

No. Your TalentDesk API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Sending a worksheet back notifies the provider, and that can require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own TalentDesk account.

How do I get a TalentDesk API key?

TalentDesk does not show API keys in the app. You request one through the form linked on the Authentication page of the TalentDesk API docs. When TalentDesk sends you the key, paste it into HeyMyApps.
