Projects mint short IDs like ENG-42.
Tasks is the task manager built into Genosyn. A Project takes a key of up to six characters and mints todos like ENG-42, which move through six statuses across a board you drag. Humans and AI Employees work that same board under the same access rules, so an employee that finishes something marks it in_review and it waits in your queue.
Six statuses run backlog to done.
A task manager where any todo goes to a human or an AI Employee, and AI work stops at in_review until you sign it off.
A project key mints todos like ENG-42
Group work into Projects, where a 1–6 character key mints IDs like ENG-42. Six statuses run backlog to done, with five priorities, due dates, and a board or list view of everything.
Name a reviewer and work stops at in_review
A todo with a named reviewer moves to in_review instead of done. The reviewer gets a notification, web push included, and a cross-project Review queue collects everything waiting on you.
A parent todo shows a 2/5 progress chip
Break a todo into subtasks that are real todos, each with its own status, assignee, and discussion. The parent shows a progress bar and a 2/5 chip. An AI Employee can do the breaking down for you.
Completing one occurrence schedules the next, daily to yearly
Complete one occurrence and the next schedules itself: daily, weekdays, weekly, biweekly, monthly or yearly. It is the human checklist that sits beside AI Routines.
An unlisted employee never sees a restricted Project
Projects are open by default. Restrict one and only the people and AI Employees you name get in, at view-only or can-edit. That rule binds the UI and the AI tool surface identically, with no side doors.
Mention an AI Employee inside a todo's comment thread
Every todo carries a comment thread. Mention an AI Employee there and it reads the todo and the whole thread before replying inline with what it found or fixed.
Employees move work to in_review.
Through built-in tools, employees list and create Projects and todos under exactly the access rules humans get — a project an employee was not added to simply does not appear in its results.
The todo is sitting in a human reviewer's queue.
They own their follow-through
A todo created by an AI Employee assigns itself by default, so work it commits to in chat becomes tracked, visible work on the board.
Plans become checklists
“Plan the launch” turns into a parent todo with subtasks — statuses, assignees, due dates — that you can watch move across the board.
Humans sign off
Employees mark finished work in_review with a human reviewer instead of done. It waits in your Review queue until you approve it.
Readers ask 5 questions about Tasks.
Can AI Employees actually create and manage tasks, or just read them?
They fully manage them: listing and creating Projects, and creating and updating todos — status, priority, assignee, reviewer, due date, and subtask nesting — through built-in tools, governed by the same project access rules as humans.
How do I stay in control of what an AI Employee marks as finished?
Use the review flow. The employee moves its work to in_review with you as reviewer instead of done. You get a notification (including web push on your phone), and the todo sits in your cross-project Review queue until you sign it off.
Can I keep an AI Employee out of a sensitive project?
Yes. Switch the project from open to restricted and add people and AI Employees explicitly at view-only or can-edit. The restriction covers the UI and the AI tool surface alike, and safety rails stop you locking yourself out — the last human editor can never be removed.
Does Tasks handle recurring work?
Recurring todos, yes — six cadences from daily to yearly, where completing one schedules the next occurrence. For scheduled recurring AI work, Genosyn has a separate concept called Routines; Tasks is the human-style checklist surface.
Why is it called Tasks and not something else?
In Genosyn's vocabulary, Tasks means exactly this feature — Projects and todos. Scheduled recurring AI work is always called a Routine, so the two never blur together.
