Book the Hendersons for Tuesday. Now it lives somewhere.
A customer asks for something in a text or on the phone, and right now that promise lives in the head of whoever heard it. Promote the message into a task and it gets an owner, a due date and an address, and it stays linked to the exact words the customer used. Work it from a list, a board, a calendar you can drag, or a map of where everything is.

A task remembers where it came from.
Every task keeps a link back to the message or the call that created it. Open the job and you can read what the customer actually wrote, in their words, months later. That is the difference between this and the notes app somebody on the crew is also using: a note is a retyped summary, and a retyped summary is where the gate code turns into the wrong gate code.
It works from a call too. Somebody describes a job on the phone, hangs up, and the person who answered turns that call into a task without opening anything else. The task carries the call the way it carries a text.
And it goes both ways. Task activity shows up inside the conversation, so a teammate reading the thread sees the job was created, assigned, and scheduled without leaving it.
Whichever view matches the question you are asking.
List and board
The flat list for working through, and a to-do and done board for the morning stand-up. Same tasks, same owners; only the arrangement changes.
Calendar
A month or a week of what is due. Drag a job to a different day to reschedule it, which is what actually happens when a van breaks down and Thursday becomes Friday.
Map
Every job with an address, plotted. Two calls on the same street stop being two separate trips, which is the one view that saves fuel rather than time.
In the conversation
Open a customer's thread and the jobs attached to it are right there as a checklist. You never have to remember whether you promised them something; the thread tells you.
The plain facts
- A task is created from a message or a call and stays linked to it. Title, description, owner, due date and address, all editable after the fact.
- Lou can fill in the address and the due date from what the customer wrote. Two separate switches, both on by default, both switchable off.
- This is the work that comes out of a conversation, not a construction suite. No Gantt charts, no dependencies, no crew dispatch, no time tracking, no invoicing.
- Tasks are included on every plan. There is no per-task charge and no separate project add-on.
Tasks come with the inbox at one flat price for the whole crew: $29/mo on Starter for up to 3 people, $79/mo on Pro for up to 15. Nothing about tasks is metered, and nothing here is an add-on. If you want the detail on what IS metered, it is texting and calling minutes, both under our fair use policy.

Where jobs come from
A task is the second half of a conversation. Here is the first half, and the assistant that fills in the boring parts.
Task questions, straight answers.
Is this a replacement for my job-management software?
What is the difference between marking a message done and making a task?
Can I assign a job to someone who is not in the conversation?
