Smart Task Creation
Turn a single plain-language sentence into a fully structured task with title, description, priority, due date, and assignee in under three seconds.
Smart Task Creation reads one plain-language sentence and generates a complete task with a title, description, priority, due date, and assignee in under three seconds.
How it works
You type the task the way you would describe it to a colleague, with no required structure. TARO analyzes the input for four things: the type of work, how urgent it sounds, which project it belongs to, and who is best placed to handle it. It then generates five fields (a clean title, a detailed description with scope and acceptance criteria, a calibrated priority, a realistic due date, and a best-fit assignee). The generated task appears in a review panel where every field is editable; pressing Enter saves it to the project board.
Key capabilities
- Generates a structured task from a single sentence, with no forms or dropdowns to fill.
- Calibrates priority from the language of the input (for example "broken," "blocking," "ASAP," or references to revenue-critical flows).
- Suggests an assignee using area ownership, skill match, and current availability, and learns from confirmed assignments over time.
- Writes a structured description including context, scope, and acceptance criteria.
- Works from any input source, including pasted Slack messages, forwarded emails, or shorthand notes.
- Keeps every generated field editable before saving.
- Optional configuration for custom fields to populate, default projects per task type, team priority thresholds, and acceptance criteria templates.
Tips
Smart Task Creation is an additional creation path, not a replacement: the traditional task form still works for cases where you want precise control over many fields from the start.
