AI Approval Review gives you an on-demand briefing of client approval progress for a project. It summarizes what’s approved, what’s still pending, and where to focus next—so you don’t have to scan every line item by hand.
Important: AI features are free while Alcove AI is in beta. Always verify approval status in Alcove before sharing updates with clients.
Where to find it
Open a Project.
Go to the Approvals area for that project.
Click the Approval Review (✨) control in the approvals header.
What you’ll see
When you open Approval Review, Alcove shows previously saved reports for the project (if any). From there you can:
Generate a new report for the current approval state
Open a saved report from history
Refresh to re-run the analysis with the latest data
Each report includes a health-style summary based on how many line items are approved versus total, plus narrative insights and recommendations you can act on.
Best practices
Run a review before client check-ins or after a large batch of approval activity.
Use Refresh after clients change approvals so the briefing reflects the latest state.
Treat the AI summary as a guide—confirm critical statuses on the Approvals board before following up.
Important notes
Reports are cached for performance (about 24 hours); Refresh pulls a fresh analysis.
This feature is separate from sharing a live Client View link and from Talk to Your Project chat.
For setting up client approvals themselves, see Manage Client Approvals and Budgets.
