What it does
The Tasks skill gives sideBar full access to your tasks from Chat. You can ask sideBar to create tasks, complete them, set due dates and recurrence, add notes, and organise everything into projects and groups. It is the fastest way to capture and manage what you need to do without leaving the conversation.Actions
