How do I ask Ninja Sensei to create a task?
Open the Ninja Sensei panel using the button in the bottom right corner of any page. If you are on mobile, the panel will open as a full-width sheet from the bottom of the screen.
Simply type your request in plain English. You do not need to use any special commands or format. Good examples include:
"Add a task to call the accountant in my Finance project, Admin Time, Waiting List"
"Create a task to write the project proposal in my Client Work project, Boss Time, Today"
"Add a thinking task about the new product direction to my Strategy project"
Sensei will create the task and show a green confirmation with the task name and a link to the project it was added to. The task will be fully set up with the project, type, attention span and list flags you specified.
If you leave out details, Sensei will either make a sensible default choice or ask you to clarify before creating the task.
Task creation via Sensei is available on Standard and Premium plans.
