Hey everyone!

⚙ It’s been a while since our last update! We’ve been working on a big task, and today we’re rolling out an interim TECHNICAL RELEASE.

On the surface, nothing has changed.
Under the hood, we’ve completely revamped the task processing and display engine.

a quote from our CTO.

🔄 Why?

First, to make everything faster, smoother, and more stable.

Most importantly, this is a crucial step toward user filters, which are just around the corner.

Ready for a big leap forward? We’ve got something exciting coming soon! Stay tuned for our #UPDATES

Hey everyone!

📌 We’ve rolled out a small but handy update:

© And good news for our English-speaking users - the full documentation is now available in English. Lowkey love this kind of reading, tbh. You’ll find the link in your profile as well.

UPDATE 1/3

Hey friends!
It’s been a while since our last update
- but the wait is over!

The main goal of this release (and the next couple) is to strengthen the connection between your Telegram chat and our app.


Here’s what’s new:

/comment COMMAND

1⃣ With this command, you can add a comment to any task directly from the chat.

2⃣ You can also turn any previously sent message into a task comment - just reply to it using this command. And it doesn’t have to be text — files, images, and videos work too! They’ll all be added to the task.

Command format:
/comment Number Text

where:
Number – the task number;
Text – your comment.

Example:
/comment PC-234 We need to improve the presentation


And by the way 😉
It was your ideas that inspired most of these features
- thanks for the feedback!

UPDATE 2/3

Hey everyone! We're back with more updates!

🪅 NEW FEATURE FOR THE /new COMMAND

Previously, when you entered the /new command, a task text would appear along with two buttons: “Create Task” and “Cancel.” Now we've added a third one — “Edit Task.” With it, you can tweak the task right in the app’s graphical interface and save your changes.

We've started using it ourselves all the time — super convenient!

Command format:
/new Name @assignee //Date !!Deadline Description

where:
Name - task name;
@assignee - assignee;
//Date - plan date;
!!Deadline - due date;
Description - task description (on a new line).

Example:
/new Prepare a report @Denis //12.11.23


💬 And that’s not all — stay tuned!

UPDATE 3/3

Hey everyone! Here's the final batch of July updates!

💡 INLINE MODE IN GROUP CHATS

Previously, inline mode was only available in private chats - it let you assign tasks directly to someone without creating a group.

Now you can use it in group chats too - just open the app, choose the project, and fill in the necessary fields - same as always.

↗️ Give it a try!

Hi, everyone!
This is Denis, founder of uTasks.

Our SMM is in the process if moving, so I'm writing today's post. Please forgive me if it's too complicated and long ))

I'll tell you in detail about each new feature from the latest release.


🔨 We've improved the /new command, so now you can use it to reply to any message in the chat — this will create a task based on the original message.

By the way, we got this idea from your feedback, thanks again!

1️⃣ If you just replied to a message with the /new command and didn't write anything else, the original message will be the name of the task.

2️⃣ But if you wrote something else in response to the message with the command, for example:
/new Prepare a presentation based on these comments @Jhon

then this text will be the name of the task, and the message you responded to will be its description.

This is super convenient, we're already using it ourselves! Combined with the previously created /comment command, it provides an excellent tool for creating and commenting on tasks directly from the chat, which further strengthens the link between our task manager and Telegram. #UPDATES

Hi, everyone!
It's Denis again, still suffering without SMM. Lena, come back and I'll forgive you for everything 😂


✈️ Let me tell you about the second feature that was included in the latest release — we've improved the task setting in private messages.

As a reminder, you can write text in a private message to the bot or forward any message, and a task will be created based on it.

What has been improved?

1️⃣ Now, after writing the text, the familiar 3 buttons appear: Create task/Edit task/Cancel, which allow you to either create a task immediately or edit everything you need in the graphical interface.

2️⃣ By default, the task is set for the current date. It's a small thing, but it has made life much easier. I am a fan of the GTD methodology, and before, when I quickly unloaded a task from my memory, I would lose it because it didn't make it into the TODAY block. Now the problem is solved. #UPDATES

Hi, friends!
If posts on the channel are not appearing regularly, it's a sure sign that our SMM is still on vacation and I'm at the helm 😇


🔎 Let me tell you about the latest feature in the latest release: Searching for tasks via inline mode.

Inline mode is when you type @UTasksBot in the chat line and press the space bar. Then you have two options:

1️⃣ At this point, a small tab will pop up above the input line — click on it to go to the graphical interface where you can create a task. Previously, this technique only worked in private chats, but now it also works in group chats.

2️⃣ Type the name or number of the task, and the system will find and display the three most relevant tasks at the top. Click on the one you need, and it will be written in the chat. This is convenient when you need to remember the terms of the task or write a comment on it.

It's harder to write than to show. We'll make a video soon; it's actually a handy feature when you use it often. #UPDATES

Hi everyone!

🔄 We’ve released a small update polishing the behavior of the /new command.

You can now reply with this command to an image or a file in the chat — this will create a task with the original image or file attached.

💭 The following logic still applies:

🟡 If you reply to a message with the /new command without any text, the original message becomes the task name or — if the image had no accompanying text — the default name New task is used;
🟡 If you reply to a message with /new and add some text, this text becomes the task name, and the message you replied to becomes its description.

Hello, everyone!

🆕 Meet the new release with the long-awaited ability to leave comments on a task directly in the interface:
⚫️Open the task;
⚫️Scroll down to the “History and comments” block;
⚫️Click on the “Add comment” button and send it.

➕Done — the comment appears in the task history!

Hey everyone!

Telegram just dropped an update — and we jumped on it immediately. Say hello to the /list command, which shows all project tasks as a table right in the chat.

Format:
/list [filter] [date],
where:
filter — the filter name used to build the list;
date — a specific date or a date range (you can also use the words today and tomorrow).

Examples:
/list all 22.06.26-25.06.26
/list author today


🟡Handy when you need a quick look at what's in the project without opening the app 🟡

Telegram: we shipped an update
WhatsApp: we'll copy it next decade

Hey everyone!

🌐 Got a standup? A sync? A team meeting — but can't get everyone on a call?🌐

Run it in the chat instead — turn on Meeting mode and just send messages to the group. UTasks will automatically pull out the action items from the conversation.

➡ To kick off the meeting, send this command in your group chat:
/meeting start

▶ Then just chat as you normally would

✔ Once you've covered everything, send:
/meeting stop

A summary will appear right in the chat: what was decided, who owns what, and any deadlines. Accept each task individually or take the whole list in one tap.

❓ If the meeting was pointless (or things got heated — it happens):
/meeting cancel — the meeting is cancelled and nothing is saved

⌛ To check whether Meeting mode is active: /meeting status

If the conversation goes quiet for 3 hours or 24 hours pass, the bot will prompt you to wrap up — and clean up after itself.

Important! UTasks does not read chat messages by default — this is a deliberate privacy measure. The bot tracks nothing without an explicit command.

Hey everyone!

🥸 Following up on Denis's series about bringing #AI into UTasks — today we're taking a closer look at a feature that's becoming increasingly relevant in today's world: voice control.

Voice input is steadily replacing manual typing — we dictate messages, search for directions by voice, control smart home devices — and UTasks is moving in the same direction.


🎤 UTasks lets you manage tasks by voice, which means you no longer need to remember any special syntax, even a short one. Just dictate a message to the bot the way you'd say it to a colleague: "create a task for Vasya for next Wednesday" — and the bot will figure out who Vasya is in your chat and turn "next Wednesday" into a specific date.

💭 Editing tasks is just as straightforward: you can refer to a task by its number or say "the last one created," and the bot will find the right one.

📣 The bulk creation feature is especially powerful: dictate one long message with 8–10 tasks for different assignees and different dates, and the bot will process the whole thing and display a list with a confirmation button for each item — so you can exclude anything it misunderstood, or send everything to assignees at once!

💭 The same approach works for bulk editing: dictate one message with all your changes at once — wording, assignees, priorities — and UTasks will show a list of proposed changes with confirmation buttons for each item. You can create new tasks and edit existing ones in a single go.

⚡ And the most powerful bulk creation scenario, which saves a serious amount of time — transcribing call recordings*. Record a call (audio or video) in Telegram, forward the recording to the chat, and send the /ai command — the bot will break down the discussion into a task list with all the relevant attributes.
#UPDATES

* Works without limitations for recordings up to one hour.

Hey everyone!

We're continuing our series on updates and today's topic is ➡ #API.

UTasks now has a public Developer API that lets you connect third-party services and automate your task workflows exactly the way you need.

To get started, just generate an API key with
/apikey new
in the bot and pass it in the header of each request.

🔘The API covers all the essentials:
🔘fetch tasks by project or filter
🔘create a task with assignees and a deadline
🔘update status or priority
🔘add a comment
🔘complete or reopen a task
🔘view the change history

🔘 Projects are covered too: retrieve a list of projects, pull data on a specific project, and get its member list.

📌 All timestamps are stored in UTC, notifications fire the same way they do when tasks are created from the app, and errors come back in the standard ProblemDetails format — nothing out of the ordinary.

💬 For anyone looking to connect UTasks to their AI tool of choice, there's a separate guide on setting up an MCP server.

That's all for now, folks! #UPDATES

CLICK ON THE STATUS AND YOU'LL BE BLOWN AWAY!

Hey everyone, Denis here.

I couldn't resist, snatched the mic again to tell you about a new feature! We rolled it out to production last night, and it's seriously awesome.

First, we moved the task status to the notifications – now it appears right after the number. And second, it’s now a button! You can tap it right in the chat, without opening the app, and select a different status.

Changing the status also includes closing the task. That means you can now complete a task by tapping the status field in any chat notification! The integration between Telegram and UTasks has become even more seamless.

In addition to the status, we’ve implemented the “Priority” field in the same way, with one difference – it’s not available in every type of notification, but only when creating a task. Objectively, this is a less frequently used field, so we decided not to overcomplicate things.

On the one hand, it might seem like a small thing, but on the other, it’s really convenient! Be sure to give it a try.

TASK DIGEST

🔄 We've rolled out a new feature 🔄
You can now get a digest of your tasks — on demand or on a schedule, e.g. every Monday at 8:00, or on weekdays around lunchtime.

📊 The digest shows all tasks (personal or project-based) with due dates and statuses: done, overdue, upcoming in the next few days — plus a summary per team member: who has how many open and overdue tasks.

Command format:
/digest — one-time digest
/digest on TIME — scheduled auto-digest

➡ All auto-digest options and plan availability — in the documentation.
