Google unveiled major updates to Google Tasks today. The company aims to make managing daily work easier. These changes bring Tasks closer to Google Calendar. Users will see tasks directly on their calendar view soon. This integration helps people plan their time better. Seeing tasks alongside meetings provides a clearer schedule picture.

Creating tasks becomes simpler now. Users can type instructions using everyday language. For example, typing “Set up meeting with Sarah next Tuesday at 2 PM” works. The system understands this and makes the task automatically. It adds the right date and time details. This saves time and effort.
Getting reminders is more flexible. People can choose to get alerts before a task is due. They can also receive notifications when they reach a specific place. An alert might pop up when arriving at the office. This helps ensure important tasks aren’t forgotten. The reminders sync across phones and computers.
Sharing tasks with others is also possible now. Teams can assign tasks to colleagues directly within the app. Everyone sees who is responsible for what. This improves teamwork on projects. Managers can track progress more easily.
Google Tasks works inside Gmail and Google Calendar already. These new features build on that connection. The goal is a seamless experience across Google Workspace tools. Users spend less time switching between apps. They focus more on getting things done.
