Feature: Agentic AI Productivity Assistant for Smart Task Management

[hoangsonww]

Summary

Introduce an Agentic AI assistant into TaskNexus that can help users manage their tasks proactively. Instead of only adding, completing, or deleting tasks, the AI will be able to:

• Suggest priorities based on deadlines & workload.
• Automatically categorize tasks (work, personal, urgent).
• Recommend time blocks or schedules.
• Generate insights like “You’re most productive on mornings, schedule hard tasks then.”
• Auto-detect overdue tasks and propose re-scheduling.

This makes TaskNexus not just a task tracker but a personal productivity coach.

Problem / Motivation

Currently, TaskNexus functions as a reactive task manager — users must manually add, update, and prioritize tasks. But modern productivity tools increasingly include AI-driven assistance to help users avoid overwhelm.

Adding an agentic AI layer will enable:

• Smarter planning (not just storing tasks).
• Personalized recommendations.
• Adaptive workflows (AI learns from usage patterns).

---

Proposed Solution

• Backend

  • Add an ai-agent-service that integrates with Supabase tasks.

  • Endpoints:

    • /api/agent/prioritize → Returns ranked task list.
    • /api/agent/schedule → Suggests a time-block schedule.
    • /api/agent/insights → Provides weekly insights.

• Frontend

  • New “Smart Assistant” tab in the bottom nav.
  • Inline “AI Suggest” button in Task Add/Edit modal.
  • Daily productivity digest notification (via Expo push).
