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](https://www.taskade.com/learn/projects/slash-commands), multiple project views, and [AI agents](https://www.taskade.com/agents). [Taskade Genesis](https://www.taskade.com/create) turns any prompt into a living app powered by [automations](https://www.taskade.com/automate) and 100+ integrations.

> **Then → Now:** What started as Cmd+Shift+/ shortcuts is now a full [slash-command palette](https://www.taskade.com/learn/projects/slash-commands), natural-language due dates, and [agent-driven scheduling](https://www.taskade.com/agents) across [multiple project views](https://www.taskade.com/templates).

| Speed-up | 2020 | Today (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Shortcuts | Keyboard shortcuts panel | Shortcuts + slash commands + command palette |
| Due dates | Minute-precision picker | Picker + natural-language dates + recurring |
| Reminders | Email + push | Email + push + automation triggers |
| Invite | One-click workspace add | One-click + link + SSO + domain allowlist |
| Follow-through | Manual | Automations + agent follow-up actions |
