Hi Taskaders,

Table of contents

We’re excited to announce fully automated agent actions in Taskade, along with new agent and automation enhancements to 10x your productivity. Enjoy!

⚡ Autonomous Agent Actions

1

You can now chat with AI Agents to interact directly with your projects to edit, complete, prioritize tasks, manage deadlines, and delegate work seamlessly. 

Taskade Actions are accessible everywhere in your workspace, from the project chat and agent popup to the right agent sidebar. Learn more.

  • Ask your agent to: “Reschedule #important tasks to next week”
  • Organize tasks like: “Move completed tasks to the review section”
  • Try multiple actions at once: “Assign design tasks to me and set due dates for next week.” … and so much more!
