Why Android users are replacing Google Tasks
Google Tasks is convenient because it comes installed on your phone. But for many, it becomes a "Digital Ghost Town"—a list of tasks you wrote down and then completely ignored.
Here is why Taskai is the necessary upgrade:
1. Don't just "Store" tasks. Process them.
2. A Dedicated Space, Not a Sidebar
3. The "Chat" Interface Hack
AI: "Got it. Setting that for 10 AM. Anything else on your mind?"
This back-and-forth momentum makes it easier to keep your list up to date.
