Never miss an action item buried in email again.
Forward an email. Get back a task list.
Action items get buried in long email threads. "Can you send me that file?" hidden in paragraph 5. Meeting notes with 8 different follow-ups scattered throughout. People read emails, think "I'll handle that later," and then forget. Critical tasks slip through the cracks.
A tool with a magic email address. Forward any email to tasks@yourapp.com, and AI extracts every action item, who's responsible, and any deadlines mentioned. Returns a clean checklist you can add to your task manager or just tackle directly.
