Flowtask’s AI task parser lets you skip the form fields entirely. Instead of filling in title, date, priority, and tags one by one, type a single sentence and the AI extracts everything for you.
Press Cmd+I (Mac) or Ctrl+I (Windows/Linux) from anywhere in the app to open the AI task creator.

​
How it works

1

Open the AI task creator

Click the sparkle button in the bottom-right corner of any page, or use the Cmd+I / Ctrl+I keyboard shortcut.
2

Type your task in natural language

Describe what you need to do in a single sentence. Include as much or as little detail as you want:
Submit tax forms by Friday 5pm, high priority #finance
Buy groceries tomorrow
Review PR for auth module #work #engineering
Call dentist next Monday morning
3

Review the parsed result

The AI extracts structured fields from your input and shows a preview card with the parsed title, due date, time, priority, and tags. Review the result before saving.
4

Confirm or re-type

If the preview looks correct, click Create Task or press Enter to save. If something is off, click Re-type or press Esc to try again with different wording.

​
What the AI extracts

The parser understands several types of information from your input:
FieldHow to express itExample
TitleThe core action — everything that isn’t a date, priority, or tag”Submit tax forms”
Due dateRelative or absolute dates”tomorrow”, “next Friday”, “June 20”, “in 3 days”
Due timeSpecific times in natural language”5pm”, “at 9:00”, “morning”
PriorityKeywords indicating urgency”high priority”, “urgent”, “important”, “low priority”
TagsHashtags referencing your existing tags#finance, #work, #personal
Tags must already exist in your account. If the AI extracts a tag that doesn’t match any of your existing tags, you’ll be prompted to create it first.

​
Tips for better results

  • Be specific with dates — “next Tuesday at 3pm” works better than “sometime next week”
  • Use hashtags for tags — Write #work instead of “for work” to ensure the AI picks it up as a tag
  • Priority keywords — The AI looks for explicit words like “high priority”, “urgent”, or “low priority”. Without these, priority is left unset
  • Keep it in one sentence — The parser works best with a single, clear sentence rather than multiple sentences

​
Timezone handling

The AI respects your local timezone. When you say “tomorrow at 7am”, it creates the task for 7:00 AM in your timezone, not UTC. Your timezone is detected automatically from your browser settings.

​
Fallback behavior

If the AI cannot parse your input, you’ll see a message asking you to rephrase or add the task manually. The standard task creation form is always available as a fallback — press C to open it.
