Tips for Power Users
1. Use Natural Language
Don't memorize syntax. Just say what you want:
@TaskRio can you remind me about the client meeting tomorrow at 3
Works perfectly.
2. Task IDs Are Your Friend
T42 done, note: took 2 hours
Much faster than replying to card.
3. Batch Commands
@TaskRio list today, send summary to email, create task: review tomorrow's tasks by 9am
Multiple commands in one message.
4. Use Voice
Recording is faster than typing for complex tasks.
5. Set Up Daily Routine
@TaskRio remind me every day 9am:
ā¢ list today's tasks
ā¢ check overdue
ā¢ review team progress
Troubleshooting
"Bot not responding"
ā Make sure you typed @TaskRio at the start in groups
"Task not created"
ā Check you mentioned someone with @ or said "me"
"Can't find task"
ā Use @TaskRio search [keyword]
"Wrong timezone"
ā Set your timezone: @TaskRio my timezone [your timezone]
