Agents that manage tasks

Fifteen agents in this directory claim task management, second only to calendar work. It is also the least informative claim on any of these product pages, because almost everything qualifies: writing something down is task management, and so is completing it.

What the claim actually covers

The distinction that matters is whether the agent holds the task or merely records it. An agent that adds an item to a list has done the easy half. An agent that comes back to you unprompted three days later because the thing has not happened is doing something categorically different, and that behaviour is proactivity rather than task management.

Todoist, Notion, Linear and Asana are the named destinations where these agents put tasks, which tells you that most of them are a text interface onto a tool you already run rather than a replacement for it.

If you are comparing on this capability, compare on what the agent does after the task is created. That is where they actually differ.
