Hi Taskaders 🎉
We've worked hard to make Taskade work better for you! Here's what's new:
> **TL;DR:** June 2022 added the global Quick Add shortcut (Cmd/Ctrl+K), iOS/Android Quick Add widgets, and the ⋮⋮ drag-icon menu — capture primitives that today live on as voice and AI quick-capture across [6 platforms](https://www.taskade.com/downloads), feeding [Automations](https://www.taskade.com/automate) and [AI Agents](https://www.taskade.com/agents) inside [Taskade Genesis](https://www.taskade.com/create) apps.
> **Then → Now:** Quick-add widgets in 2022 → today's AI quick-capture across mobile and desktop, with auto-routing into projects, agents, or automations.
