I'd recommend you change the name of your project sooner rather than later, Tasker is a well established app in the Android power user community for automating various tasks (albeit without AI)

Yeah probably if I were to take it seriously! Thanks for the rec

I guess you didn't ask your AI if "Tasker" is a good name, or your AI doesn't know enough to answer that Tasker is a very well-known app that does what you describe, on Android.

Your post made me think Tasker had branched out to automating actions on desktop computers...

If your app gets popular, good luck sifting through the questions of confused people asking about tasks on Android, and realize that many many Tasker (the original one, see I already have to write in parantheses which Tasker I'm referring too) forum users will be cursing you for naming your app the same as theirs.

No I guess not. I just asked it. Your answer:

Why Tasker is a good name Instantly understandable “Tasker” clearly communicates automation, jobs, actions, workflows Zero explanation needed — huge plus for a consumer + SMB product Broad enough to scale Works for: Desktop agent Cloud cron jobs HTTP-triggered automations AI agents running tasks for sales, ops, HVAC estimates, etc. Doesn’t lock you into just AI or just workflows Matches your positioning Given what you’ve built: non-technical, consumer-friendly automation powered by AI Tasker fits that perfectly — especially compared to over-clever AI names.

I think that answers your question lmao
