Connect Google Tasks to WhatsApp: tasks by chat
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect Google Tasks once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Project tools are built for people who sit at desks. Owners usually do not.
16 actions in Google Tasks. 5 only look things up, and 11 create, update, send or delete. You connect with a one-click sign-in.
What you can ask Flann to do in Google Tasks
Send any of these on WhatsApp, in your own words. Flann finds the right Google Tasks action and fills in the details from the conversation.
“Look up the task in Google Tasks.”
“Look up the task list in Google Tasks.”
“Update the task in Google Tasks.”
“Create a task list in Google Tasks.”

Repetitive Google Tasks work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
Getting billable time ready to invoice
Today
Agency and consultancy work depends on billing the time you tracked. Pulling each client’s billable entries out of Google Tasks and checking them against the project is slow, so invoices go out late.
With Flann
“How much billable time for Harbour Studio is in Google Tasks and not invoiced yet?”
Every billable entry for that client is pulled from Google Tasks, grouped by project and person, with anything missing a description marked. You get a summary ready to turn into an invoice.
What you stop doing: Combing through time entries before every invoice is no longer needed.
Starting a new client project from the template
Today
Each new client or job means copying your template project in Google Tasks, renaming it, adjusting dates and assigning people. Small mistakes slip in, like the last client’s name in a task.
With Flann
“New job for Clarke Dental, starts on the first. Set it up from our fit-out template in Google Tasks.”
A copy of your template in Google Tasks is renamed, dated from the start you gave and assigned to the usual people for each stage. Anything that still mentions the previous client is flagged.
What you stop doing: Copying and adjusting the template by hand for each new job is no longer on your desk.
