Smart Context & Timezone-Aware Scheduling
- 🌍 Timezone-Aware Date Parsing: TaskRio now automatically detects your timezone and interprets dates relative to your local time. Say
by 10 pm and Rio knows if you mean today or tomorrow based on current time. - ⚡ Implicit Task Context: No need to reply to task cards anymore! After Rio shows you a task, just send
done, tomorrow 5pm, or any other command — it automatically applies to that task (5-minute window). - 🎯 Smart Action Detection: Rio intelligently distinguishes between task actions (
done, reschedule) and new task creation (buy milk), so you never accidentally update the wrong thing. - 🕐 Auto-Infer Today/Tomorrow: When you specify only a time (
by 9 am), Rio automatically determines if it's today or tomorrow based on whether that time has passed. - 📍 Multi-Timezone Support: Works across all timezones (India, US, UK, Australia, etc.) with automatic country code detection from your phone number.

Smarter group summaries and decisions
- Ask @TaskRio in a WhatsApp group to summarise today, recap the standup, or answer "what did we decide about X?" and get a clear, LLM-powered summary of the discussion
- Summaries now include both messages in the group and TaskRio updates posted from DMs, so changes made in private (like closing or reassigning tasks) show up in the group recap
- Mentions inside these recaps are rendered as proper WhatsApp mentions, making it easier to see who was discussed and tap through to their messages
- Participant names are clearer in transcripts and summaries, so you read "Riya closed T3" instead of a long phone number
Clearer website, FAQs, and trial flow
- Refined copy across Home, For Teams, For Me, Features, and How It Works to better explain how TaskRio runs inside WhatsApp
- Added a dedicated Pricing page and clarified the 14-day free trial in WhatsApp
- Introduced structured FAQs and FAQPage JSON-LD so search engines and answer engines can understand common questions more reliably
Send tasks to teammates via DM
- Added a new
/send command so you can share task cards directly with teammates in their WhatsApp DMs - Use
/send T12 @Teammate in a group to append a note on T12 and DM the full task card to the person you mention - Use
/send open @Teammate to DM them a list of their open tasks, similar to them running list mine themselves - Groups receive a small confirmation message when a list or card is sent, so everyone knows who was nudged without spamming the whole chat
As we ship new features and improvements (including team-focused capabilities like nudging teammates on tasks), we will add them here so you can quickly see what changed.
