Hours. Gone. Not on the actual work, mind you. But on the meta-work. Defining tasks. Sketching forms. Mapping workflows. Hunting for that 'perfect' template that never quite fit. Just trying to get to zero. To a starting line where meaningful work could actually begin.
Most project management tools? They're brilliant once things are up and running. Tracking, collaborating, reporting – they nail it. But that initial blank canvas? That moment you’re staring at an empty page, forced into a rigid template that doesn't quite fit your brain? They leave you cold. You're still the architect of the initial system, not just the manager of the tasks within it.
That frustration? It boiled over. It forced us to ask: What if this initial setup wasn't a blank canvas? What if an AI didn't just suggest tasks, but built the entire damn structure for your workspace?
That's the core idea behind FlowTask. Imagine a comprehensive blueprint, generated for you. We’re talking about a full task hierarchy descriptions, assignees, due dates, dependencies, all logically organized. Forms, too. Generated with the right fields text, numbers, dates, dropdowns and smart validation rules, context-aware. And workflows? Defined states, transitions, ready for your no-code builder or internal system. All of it.
The 'how' is where it gets gnarly. And exciting. This isn't just tossing a prompt at an LLM and hoping for decent text. We're building a structured AI generation layer. Think of it less as a word spinner and more as a schema generator for project components. We're pushing fine-tuned models and sophisticated prompt engineering to ensure the output isn't just plausible, but structured. System-ready. It’s about killing the 'hallucination' problem by guiding the model towards concrete, defined outputs.
We're taking that initial project 'cold start' problem and crushing it. Hours of administrative grind, cut to minutes. This isn't about replacing human smarts. It's about automating the truly tedious, non-creative crap.
We've been grinding on this for a while. Now we need your unfiltered take. What are the landmines you see? How do you currently kick off a new project? What kind of structured output would actually save your ass?
Let's talk. Happy to dig into the tech or specific use cases.
