Hi Taskaders 👋
With summer right around the corner, we're back with another exciting update for Taskade. Dive in and let us know what you think!
TL;DR: Keyboard shortcuts and custom due dates shipped in 2020 — the foundations of Taskade's keyboard-first workflow. Today they live alongside natural-language dates and slash commands, multiple project views, and AI agents. Taskade Genesis turns any prompt into a living app powered by automations and 100+ integrations.
Then → Now: What started as Cmd+Shift+/ shortcuts is now a full slash-command palette, natural-language due dates, and agent-driven scheduling across multiple project views.
| Speed-up | 2020 | Today (2026) |

| Due dates | Minute-precision picker | Picker + natural-language dates + recurring |
| Reminders | Email + push | Email + push + automation triggers |
