Task Management

Create and track tasks across your entire workspace — with AI extraction, subtasks, and smart prioritization.

#Overview

Tasks in Delegate are more than a to-do list. They can be extracted from emails, linked to meetings, assigned to team members, broken into subtasks, and tracked across projects — all in one place.

#Creating tasks

There are several ways to create a task:

  • Quick add — press T anywhere in the app, or click New Task in the sidebar
  • From an email — open any email and click Create Task to auto-fill title, due date, and context
  • From a meeting — action items detected in meeting notes are auto-converted to tasks
  • From AI suggestions — the Copilot proactively creates tasks based on your email and calendar

#Task fields

  • Title — short, action-oriented description
  • Description — rich text with markdown support
  • Due date — date and optional time
  • Priority — Urgent, High, Medium, Low
  • Assignee — any workspace member
  • Project — link to a project for tracking
  • Labels — custom tags for filtering
  • Subtasks — nested checklist items
  • Comments — threaded discussion on the task

#Organizing with views

Tasks can be viewed in three modes:

  • List — flat list grouped by priority, due date, or project
  • Board — Kanban columns (To Do, In Progress, Done, Blocked)
  • Calendar — tasks overlaid on your calendar by due date
💡Tip
The Today view in the sidebar shows only tasks due today or overdue — great for your morning planning routine.

#AI prioritization

The AI Copilot analyzes due dates, email urgency signals, and your past behavior to suggest a daily task priority order. Look for the AI Order toggle in the task list to enable it.

AI-suggested tasks from your email and calendar appear in the AI Suggestions queue. Review and approve them with one click.

#Delegating tasks with AI agents

On Pro and Team plans, you can delegate tasks to AI agents. An agent can research, draft documents, send responses, or coordinate with external services — all on your behalf.

Open a task, click Delegate to AI, select an agent profile, and describe the goal. The agent reports back through the task's comment thread.

ℹ️Note
AI agent delegation requires the Agent Runtime to be connected.
