From chaos to clarity in seconds
Stop manually combing through messages. Recal's AI understands context and extracts every actionable item automatically.
Smart Task Extraction
AI identifies every actionable item in your text — from explicit tasks to implied action items hidden in conversations.
Assignee Detection
Automatically identifies who's responsible for each task based on context like "John will handle this" or "Sarah, can you..."
Priority Analysis
Detects urgency signals — words like "ASAP", "critical", "by Friday" — and assigns appropriate priority levels.
Due Date Parsing
Extracts deadlines from natural language like "by end of week", "next Monday", or "December 20th" and converts them to dates.
Context Preservation
Each task includes the original context from where it was mentioned, so you always know the full story.
Instant Results
Processing takes seconds, not minutes. Paste your text and get structured tasks before you can grab your coffee.

Text to Tasks FAQ
Questions about extracting tasks from text. Need more help? Reach out to us.
Anything! Slack messages, emails, meeting notes, Notion pages, chat logs, or any unstructured text. Our AI understands context and extracts action items regardless of format.
Our AI looks for commitments, deadlines, assignments, and task-related language. It understands phrases like 'can you...', 'we need to...', 'by Friday', and implicit requests in natural conversation.
Yes! When names or @mentions are included in the text, Recal identifies and assigns the responsible person. You can always edit assignees before saving.
Currently, text-to-tasks works best with English content. We're expanding language support — other languages may work but with reduced accuracy.
Absolutely! Export tasks to Linear, copy as markdown, or sync to your connected integrations. Tasks can flow directly into your existing project management workflow.
You can paste up to 50,000 characters at once — roughly 25 pages of text. For longer content, we recommend breaking it into logical sections for better task extraction.
Include clear context about who said what and when. @mentions, deadlines, and explicit task language help the AI identify action items more accurately.
