Google Tasks

Turn customer conversations into organized Google Tasks automatically

Every action item from a customer interaction becomes a tracked task. Your AI agent creates, updates, and completes Google Tasks in real time. Due dates get set, lists stay organized, and nothing falls through the cracks between conversations and follow-ups.

Task management woven into every conversation

Your AI agent creates tasks, organizes lists, sets due dates, and marks items complete, keeping your team's to-do lists current without anyone opening the Tasks app.

Use Cases

Action items that capture themselves

Real scenarios where AI agents convert conversation outcomes into organized tasks, keeping teams productive without manual data entry.

Support Follow-ups That Never Get Lost

A customer reports an issue that requires engineering review. Your AI Agent creates a Google Task titled with the issue summary, adds the customer's details in the notes field, sets a due date for tomorrow, and assigns it to the engineering task list. The support team moves to the next conversation knowing the follow-up is tracked and will surface at the right time.

Client Onboarding Checklists in One Message

A new client signs up and the onboarding process has 12 standard steps. The AI Agent bulk-inserts all 12 tasks into a new Google Tasks list named for the client, each with appropriate due dates and sequencing. The account manager gets a complete onboarding checklist created in seconds instead of spending 15 minutes setting up tasks manually.

Overdue Task Alerts During Customer Interactions

A returning customer reaches out about a pending request. The AI Agent queries Google Tasks by the customer's name, finds an overdue task from last week, and surfaces the details for the support agent. The team catches the dropped ball immediately and resolves it during the live conversation instead of discovering it days later.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent create tasks with due dates during a conversation?

The agent calls Google Tasks' Insert Task endpoint with a title, optional notes (up to 8192 characters), and a due date. Dates can be provided in various formats like '28 Sep 2025' or ISO 8601, and are automatically converted to the RFC3339 format required by the API. Tasks are created instantly in the specified list.

Can the agent create subtasks and organize task hierarchies?

Yes. When inserting a task, the agent can specify a task_parent parameter to create it as a subtask of an existing task. It can also use task_previous to position the new task after a specific sibling. This allows building structured task hierarchies directly from conversation context.

What Google Tasks permissions does Tars need?

Tars requests the tasks OAuth scope, which grants full read and write access to the user's task lists and tasks. This is authorized through Google's standard OAuth flow. You can revoke access at any time from your Google account security settings.

Does Tars store a copy of my Google Tasks data?

No. All task data is fetched and written through Google's Tasks API in real time. Tars does not maintain a separate database of your tasks, notes, or due dates. Your task data lives exclusively in your Google account.

Can the agent retrieve tasks across all my task lists at once?

Yes. The List All Tasks endpoint queries every task list in the account and returns tasks annotated with their list ID and title. You can filter by due date range, completion status, and update time. A configurable limit (default 1000) prevents oversized responses.

How is this different from using Google Tasks directly in Gmail or Calendar?

Google Tasks in Gmail or Calendar requires manual task creation. With Tars, tasks are generated automatically from conversation outcomes. The agent also handles bulk creation (up to 50 tasks per batch), cross-list queries, and programmatic reorganization, capabilities that are not available through the standard Tasks UI.

Can the agent batch-create multiple tasks at once from a conversation?

Yes. The Bulk Insert Tasks endpoint creates multiple tasks in a single operation using HTTP batching. You can insert up to 50 tasks per batch with configurable batch sizes. This is ideal for onboarding checklists, project plans, or any scenario where multiple action items emerge from one interaction.

What happens if the agent tries to update a task that has been deleted?

The API returns an error for tasks that no longer exist. The agent handles this gracefully by informing the user that the task was not found and suggesting they verify the task ID or check if it was already completed and cleared. No data is lost or corrupted in the process.
