I built a tool that extracts tasks from Telegram messages into structured workflows

Someone would say:

Can you update the landing page and check the API later?

And a few hours later… it’s gone in the noise of the conversation.

So I built a small tool to solve this.

What it does

TaskExtraction takes Telegram messages and:

  • detects actionable tasks
  • extracts them from natural conversation
  • converts them into structured items
  • organizes them into a Kanban-style workflow

Instead of scrolling chats trying to remember what needs to be done, you get a clear task board.

Why I built it

I didn’t want another project management tool.

I just wanted:

  • less context switching
  • no manual copying of tasks
  • something that works directly from where conversations already happen (Telegram)

Current state

This is still an MVP.

Right now I’m testing:

  • how well task extraction works on real conversations
  • edge cases (unclear messages, multi-task sentences)
  • different workflow formats for output

What I’m looking for

Would love feedback from anyone who:

  • manages tasks inside chats
  • uses Telegram for work or side projects
  • has tried automating task capture before

What would make this actually useful for you?
