Create tasks — manually and from the chat

Add tasks by hand on the board, or describe what you need and let the AI propose them.

1Create a task manually

On the task list (or the Kanban view), type a title in the new-task row and press Enter. The task is created instantly inside the current group.

Creating a task by typing its title and pressing Enter.

Click any task to open it and set details — description, priority, due date, assignee, and status. In the Kanban view you can drag a card between columns to change its status.

2Create tasks from the AI chat

Open Doku AI and describe what you want in plain language — for example “Create three tasks to prepare the Q3 launch and assign them to me.” The assistant reads your space, then proposes an action plan.

The chat, with suggested prompts to get you started.

Nothing changes until you approve it. The flow is always:

  1. Propose — the assistant drafts the tasks (and any updates) as an action plan.
  2. Confirm — you review the plan and approve it in one click.
  3. Execute — Doku applies the changes and they appear on your board.
The chat can do more than create tasks — ask it to find overdue work, summarize blockers, or reassign stale tasks. It only ever changes things after you confirm.
