Creating a task should not be a task itself.

TaskFlask distills your inbox. It reads the mail you already get, works out what actually demands action, and writes the task — titled properly, dated properly, with a link back to the message it came from. You say yes. Or you don’t. And once it knows your life, your best hours finally go to what matters.

Deck reads well overall. Only thing missing is the retention chart on slide 9 — any chance you can get it in before we circulate Thursday morning? Everything else I can live with.

“before we circulate Thursday morning” → the deadline is Wednesday. Inferred, not stated — and the receipt is one click away.

The problem

Reading email isn’t the job. It just eats the hours the job needed.

~1 in 5

emails actually asks something of you. Finding them is why you read the other four.

Half the deadlines

are implied, never stated — “before we circulate Thursday” is a Wednesday deadline nobody wrote down.

The worst misses

aren’t things people asked of you. They’re the promises you made in your own sent mail.

The part nobody says out loud

Busy all week. Behind on what matters.

You answered everything. You were responsive, reliable, visible — and the week still ended with the thing that actually mattered untouched. That’s not a discipline problem. The loud work is easy to find: it arrives, it pings, it asks. The important work just waits, quietly, while your best hours go to whatever was most visible.

Another list won’t fix that. A system can only help you work like your best self once it actually knows you — when your focus shows up, what your days can really hold, what you promised, and what matters to you. That’s what TaskFlask is really for. The email reading, the calendar, the AI — all just means to that end. You tell it about your life once; it plans around the dog, keeps your deadlines honest, and gives your best hours to what matters.

Sound familiar?

You end weeks knowing something slipped — just not what.

Your calendar is full, and the important thing isn’t on it.

You do your best thinking at nine in the morning — and spend nine in the morning on email.

You said yes to something on Tuesday that you’d already forgotten by Thursday. It was in your own sent mail.

You tell it once

It plans around the dog.

A five-minute conversation — you tell it about your lunch, the school run, the 7pm dog walk, when your focus actually shows up. From then on, plans thread around your life — and teammates only ever see “busy.” Never why.

Anything in the evenings that’s non-negotiable? Some people have a school pickup, a dog, a standing class…

⚠ Nothing before Friday’s deadline stays under the 75% day limit — planning it anyway means an over-full day, or the deadline slips.
No black boxes

It shows its work.

Every suggested time comes with its reasons on the label. Every day has an honest capacity — and when yours is full, it says so instead of quietly wedging more in. Deadlines never move just because plans do.

The other half of your stress

It knows what you promised.

Everyone watches what lands in the inbox. Nobody watches what left it. TaskFlask reads your sent mail for the commitments you made — and always asks before any of them becomes a task. A machine should never put words in your mouth.

How it works

Three steps. One of them is yours.

1

Connect Gmail

Thirty seconds. No folders, no rules, no setup ritual.

2

It reads, judges, proposes

Scores what actually demands action. Titles it, dates it, attaches the receipt. Even catches the promises you made.

3

You say yes — or don’t

Nothing is added without you. Turn the dial up only when it’s earned it — and every auto-add has one-click undo.

Made for

People whose inbox runs their day.

Deal-makers and closers

Agents, brokers, title & escrow, recruiters. Every deal is forty emails, half with deadlines nobody wrote down. TaskFlask catches them all.

Solo professionals & small firms

Attorneys, accountants, consultants. You are the back office — and the capture step is the one employee you couldn’t hire. Until now.

Operators drowning politely

Anyone with 25+ emails a day who ends the week knowing something slipped — just not what. It knows what.

Honestly? If your inbox is quiet or you want boards and sprints, you don’t need us — and it will never answer your email for you.

Trust, in specifics

Built suspicious of itself.

🔒 Propose-first, always

The AI can suggest; only you can commit. Autonomy is a dial you turn up, never a default.

🧾 Receipts on everything

Every AI-created task carries its source message and who created it — permanently, uneditably.

🚫 Never your voice

It doesn’t send mail, doesn’t reply as you, doesn’t train on your messages.

👁 What it knows, you see

Everything it has learned about you sits on one screen — editable, deletable, never changed on its own.

✓ Encrypted in transit and at rest ✓ Tenant isolation enforced in the database itself, not just the app ✓ Disconnect any time — your data is deleted, not archived ✓ Hard monthly cap on what the AI may spend on your behalf
Works with ✉ Gmail One account, your whole day: inbox, sent mail, calendar, plan.
FAQ

Fair questions.

How is this different from filters and rules?

Filters sort by pattern. This reads the content and judges whether it demands action — then writes the task, with the deadline, even when the deadline was only implied.

Will it ever do something without me?

Not by default. Everything is a proposal until you say yes. If you turn the dial up, only near-certain items are added — visibly marked, one-click undo — and promises from your sent mail are never auto-added.

What happens when it gets one wrong?

You skip it or fix it — and it learns. Your accept-and-skip history quietly teaches it which senders matter to you.

Do I have to leave Gmail?

No. Your mail stays where it is. TaskFlask reads it and gives you a day-planner — it is not another inbox to live in.

Why invite-only?

Because trust is the whole product. We’d rather grow through people who can hold us to that than through a signup form.

Who built this?

An operator, not a lab — someone who ran his own back office, got tired of the capture step, and built the tool he needed. It runs his day first, every day.
