The ability to sum up columns values

I clicked "use automation" on something that looked to be pre-explained/filled out. "Conduct a daily review of tasks using AI, generating insights..." When I click "use automation" I only see a trigger step and an action step pre-connected. There is literally nothing else there. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be entering to make the automation that I thought was just a pre-made one. I have never felt so lost in a project management tool before. Making fully premade automations, agents, workflows, etc, will go a long way with user education.

I would like to be able to search for the agent's name, and it comes to the top of the AI Agent section. I tend to have various agents within a specific workspace, and it becomes a hassle to search through all of them to find the one I am looking for. I imagine 3 potential placements for the search icon/button: Left-hand side of the "Toggle Agents" bar, potentially below the "Taskade AI" icon with a little search icon OR Search icon next to AI Teams OR Search icon next to Create Agent

Taskade should add a contacts directory for your team and those outside of it as well. Something similar to contacts.google.com would be nice. This lays the foundation for adding more functionality focused on collaboration and resource planning. For example, by having a contacts directory, you can eventually support the following functionality: easily invite people to a meeting like Google Meet add profile information to your team members and add notes add birthday reminders for team members check team calendars for meeting times have a profile and bio that's external facing for client and collaboration work (Like Slack) This is different from a CRM. It would be very lightweight functionality that would help with pre-population and collaboration.

Occasionally, I find myself in the mood for a quick conversation with Taskade AI, yet I'm not keen on launching the entire application. Wouldn't it be convenient to have AI accessibility directly from the Menu Bar?

There are a couple of suggestions I have for the task timer, as I have started to use it more often. Desktop Notification + Sound: It would be nice to have a Taskade notification on the desktop and a notification sound when a timer is completed for a task. I think this could really improve the experience because, let's face it, email notifications alone aren't always reliable—especially if you turn them off while you're deep into your work. With a quick pop-up and a sound, you'll know right away when a timer finishes, keeping you on track. Pre-planned Timer Workflow: To enhance task management and workflow, I think it is worth considering the option to set a timer that starts when you press "Start," rather than starting right when you create a task timer. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who organize their day by creating time blocks in advance. By allowing timers to be set for specific durations ahead of time, users can seamlessly transition into focused work sessions. This method provides greater flexibility and convenience, ensuring a smooth workflow. As a result, users can manage their time more effectively and ensure tasks are executed as planned, aligning with their pre-scheduled timeline. In most cases, it is not convenient to create the workflow and work on the task at the same time. Thanks!

Hi, I'm starting to use the desktop app more to keep my workflow separate from my tab-filled browser, and I'm noticing some issues that I'll be reporting. The first issue I've seen is that my automations don't have their titles in the tabs, so it makes them difficult to locate when there are several tabs open. For instance, instead of "Process Citations for KB", the tab for that Automation says "Public". Thanks, Josh

Currently there is no way to link tasks across boards and projects. This makes it almost impossible to keep track of the effort that is either dependent or is a dependency of other tasks and projects. Project-level mentions do not allow us to link same tasks across projects, folders and workspaces. We need fine-grained linking and backlinking. For example. One task is a UI element. It will enable another task in marketing campaign. Both are tracked in separate projects as subtasks. There is no way for me to link them to show progress. Similarly for dev tasks, they manage their weekly work which is tied to the product roadmap -> epics -> stories. There is no way to link to such level so devs do not have to duplicate these tasks/stories.

Add a digital canvas feature for sketching, adding text, and creating diagrams to brainstorm ideas in a more dynamic and interactive way. This could repurpose visual elements from the Automations UI. Expected functionality: Sketching Tools: Include a variety of sketching tools such as pencils and shapes. Text Annotations: Enable users to add text annotations to the canvas. Drag-and-Drop Functionality: Allow users to easily drag and drop images, icons, and other visual elements onto the canvas. Zoom and Pan: Provide the ability to zoom in and out of the canvas and pan across different areas. Collaboration: Support real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to contribute to the canvas simultaneously. Export and Sharing: Make it possible to export the canvas as an image or PDF.

It would be nice to have the option to create workspace-level presets, as well as permissions for the presets. E.g) Templates can be edited by a team, or they can be locked by the person who created them.
