Hi Taskaders  🎉

We've worked hard to make Taskade work better for you! Here's what's new:

> **TL;DR:** September 2021 brought iOS/Android home-screen widgets, mind-map zoom, and a resizable chat panel — primitives that today host real-time [multi-agent chat](https://www.taskade.com/agents) inside every project, alongside [Quick Add widgets](https://www.taskade.com/learn/projects/add-widget) feeding [Automations](https://www.taskade.com/automate) across [100+ integrations](https://www.taskade.com/integrations).

> **Then → Now:** 2021's widgets and resizable chat evolved into today's [Agent Widgets and real-time multi-agent chat](https://www.taskade.com/agents), with [Automations](https://www.taskade.com/automate) running everything in the background.

## ****************⚡️ Widgets for iOS & Android****************

New widgets are here! Display My Tasks, Recent, Starred Projects on your home screen and explore new workflows. Check it out on [iOS & Android](https://www.taskade.com/downloads)!
