What is Google Tasks?

Google Tasks is Google's simple to-do list, built into Gmail, Google Calendar and the Tasks app. People use it to keep personal and work tasks in lists with due dates. The friction is getting tasks in: most of them start life in an email, a meeting or a note. This connection lets Fabric's assistant add and update them for you, in plain language.

What Fabric's assistant can do with Google Tasks

Once Google Tasks is connected, Fabric's AI assistant can manage your lists from a simple request.

Capture tasks from anywhere. Create Task adds a task with a title, notes and due date to the list you choose, and Find or Create Task checks for an existing one first so you do not add it twice. Ask the assistant to pull the follow-ups out of your meeting notes and add them to your work list.

See what is on your plate. Get Tasks by List shows everything in a list and Find Task finds a specific task, so you can ask what is due this week without opening Google.

Keep lists tidy. Update Task changes a task's title, notes, due date or status, including marking it complete. Create Task List starts a new list for a project. API Request (Beta) reaches the Google Tasks API for anything else.

You stay in control

The assistant works from your instructions, and finding tasks never changes anything. It confirms with you before changes you have not clearly asked for, unless you've told it not to for a particular task.

When a job should run regularly, a Fabric AI job can run on a schedule, such as a morning summary of what is due today. The connection also includes the events New Task, New Completed Task and New Task List, which can start an automation.

Search your tasks from Fabric

Connecting Google Tasks also adds keyword search over your tasks from Fabric's main search, so a task is findable alongside the rest of your library. If you prefer to keep tasks inside Fabric, see Fabric's own tasks and reminders.

How people use it

Anyone who lives in Gmail asks for a summary of open tasks before planning the week.
