How it works

From messy intake to a kickoff packet.

Upload files, generate a task package, review before export—the MVP loop service teams need.

Step 1

Collect intake

Emails, forms, notes, PDFs, chat logs, and your SOP checklist.

Step 2

Interpret the ask

Summarize requirements, dates, budget, and scope signals.

Step 3

Find gaps

Missing assets, unclear deadlines, unanswered questions.

Step 4

Break down tasks

Internal tasks with suggested owners by role.

Step 5

Review & export

Human confirms, then push to Notion, Asana, Linear, or Sheets.

Safety

Human-in-the-loop

Nothing client-facing or price-sensitive auto-sends.

Source: TaskMender pilot aggregate — 50 historical handoffs, 12 workspaces, US service teams. Count = handoffs where each gap type was flagged at least once.

Processing volume by team size

Operational estimates from TaskMender's 9-step pipeline — scales with handoff volume, not one-off usage.

Basis: TaskMender pipeline architecture (read → summarize → extract → gap check → tasks → owners → reply → brief → export). API calls = steps × documents per handoff × monthly volume.
