About Zoho Projects
Zoho Projects makes time tracking the product's center of gravity, and lets Zia build the schema.
Three of the last six releases touch time logs: a unified grid view, workflow automation with rules and webhooks, and Zia auto-filling weekly hours from assigned tasks. Alongside that, Zia has moved past suggestion into construction — users can now build custom modules by talking to it. The rest of the recent work extends reach rather than depth: a rebuilt Chrome extension, SalesIQ and WhatsApp integrations, and four more Android languages.
