How Quick Task Creation Works

1

Natural Language Input

User says or types task in natural language. No forms, no dropdowns - just speak naturally.

2

LLM Resolution

Umber extracts: task title, due date/time, priority, project/list, and any other metadata from context.

3

Composer Card

Shows resolved task with confidence indicator. High confidence = one-tap create. Lower confidence = review details.

4

Quick Confirm

User taps "Add Task" and it's done. Can edit inline if needed, but usually just confirm.

💡 Design Philosophy

Minimal friction for simple tasks. The LLM does the parsing, user just confirms. For complex tasks with ambiguity, Umber asks clarifying questions before showing the composer.

Smart Resolution

Umber uses memory and context to enrich tasks automatically.

🧠

Person Resolution

"Sarah" → Sarah Chen (from contacts/memory). Shows context hint if multiple Sarahs.

📅

Date Intelligence

"next week" → Monday. Considers user's preferences for start of week.

🏷️

Auto-Tagging

Detects "birthday" context, adds relevant tag. Links to related events.

💡

Memory Suggestions

Surfaces relevant info: preferences, nearby stores, past patterns.
