Project management has evolved beyond the traditional focus on scope, time, and cost, incorporating factors such as stakeholder satisfaction and value creation. However, many initiatives still face challenges in achieving efficiency and effectiveness. In this context, Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerges as a key tool to optimize processes and enhance decision-making. This research develops an Implementation Guide for Intelligent Assistance in Project Management Processes, aligned with PMI guidelines and focused on Generative AI tools. The study concentrates on planning processes, assessing available technological tools in the market and their applicability across different process areas. Levels of human intervention are defined, and optimized prompts are designed to facilitate interaction with AI. Furthermore, a step-by-step implementation approach is proposed, supported by flowcharts that illustrate the integration of these tools into project management. The results provide a practical resource that enables project managers to establish AI-supported information flows to improve planning, reduce uncertainty, and optimize decision-making, thereby increasing project success rates.
