UTasks AI assistant
The AI assistant launched: it creates, finds and changes tasks from a plain phrase or a voice message, works with several tasks at once and runs Meeting mode.
In August 2026, UTasks got an AI assistant. It understands requests in plain language and performs actions with tasks: creates and edits them, finds, closes and reopens them, changes status and priority, leaves comments, and adds and removes assignees.
You can talk to the assistant in a private chat with the bot, and in group chats – via the /ai command. The first version came out at the end of July, and within two weeks we developed it into a full-fledged tool.
The assistant accepts voice messages and works with several tasks at once: one message can create new tasks and change existing ones. Before saving, the assistant shows a list of changes, and each of them can be confirmed or rejected. It also processes call recordings: forward an audio or video file to the chat and send the /ai command to get a list of tasks based on the discussion.
For meetings in group chats there is Meeting mode. The /meeting start command starts the discussion, and /meeting stop produces a summary: decisions made, assignees and deadlines. Tasks from the summary can be accepted one by one or all at once. Without an explicit command, the bot does not track the conversation – a deliberate limitation for security reasons.
The development of AI features is supported by the Yandex grant for using AI models that UTasks received in June 2026.
