What is Taskade's AI Outliner feature?

Taskade's AI Outliner lets you generate structured outlines instantly from any topic by typing the /outline command in any project. Instead of staring at a blank page, you describe what you want to outline and AI creates a hierarchical structure with main topics, subtopics, and details. You can then use /expand on any section to fill in deeper content. The AI Outliner works across all 8 project views (List, Board, Calendar, Table, Mind Map, Gantt, Org Chart, Timeline), so an outline generated in list view can be instantly visualized as a mind map or board.

How does AI improve the outlining process?

AI improves outlining in three ways: 1) Speed — generating a first-draft outline takes seconds instead of the 15-30 minutes of manual brainstorming, removing the blank-page problem, 2) Structure — AI creates logically organized hierarchies based on the topic, ensuring you don't miss key subtopics or create unbalanced sections, 3) Expansion — once you have a skeleton outline, AI can expand individual points into detailed content, add supporting evidence, or suggest related topics. The result is a faster, more thorough outlining workflow where human judgment guides the direction while AI handles the heavy lifting of content generation and organization.

Can you use AI to outline different types of content?

Yes, AI outlining works across virtually any content type: 1) Blog posts and articles — generate topic outlines with headers, subheaders, and talking points, 2) Project plans — create task breakdowns with milestones and subtasks, 3) Meeting agendas — outline discussion topics, action items, and time allocations, 4) Research papers — structure literature reviews, methodology sections, and findings, 5) Course curricula — organize modules, lessons, and learning objectives. In Taskade, you can switch between views after outlining — turn an article outline into a board for tracking progress, or view a project plan as a Gantt chart for scheduling.

What are Taskade's global notifications and hide completed items features?

Global notifications give you a unified feed of all activity across your Taskade workspaces — comments, mentions, task updates, and project changes — in one place, so you don't have to check each project individually. Hide completed items lets you declutter your project views by hiding tasks that are already done, keeping focus on active work. Both features work together to reduce noise: global notifications ensure you never miss important updates, while hide completed items keeps your workspace clean and focused on what still needs attention.
