Connections support files now too, so you can chain things:
- Email attachments → convert to PDF → file in Drive
- Pull API data → analyze → generate report
- Screenshots via computer use → narrated video critique
This stacks with triggers, integrations, computer use, etc - the combos get wild.
Tasklet now does the work for you!
Some examples:
- Upload a messy CSV, get back a cleaned Excel file with charts
- Drop in images, get them batch-resized and converted
- Ask for a video and get an actual video
Complex workflows that used to require engineering time now happen in a conversation.
Introducing the Tasklet sandbox VM.
Every agent now gets its own Linux environment with Python, ffmpeg, imagemagick, and a persistent filesystem.
Create, process & transfer files, use code to analyze data, make network requests, install packages & more.
Post & video: tasklet.ai/release-note...
We just shipped Tasklet's biggest update since launch.
The v2 agent is a ground-up rebuild of how oour AI agents think, plan, and execute work.

Tasklet builds on years of work creating best-in-class AI agents and integrations in Shortwave. We've been testing with users for months, and the feedback has been incredible.

What People Are Automating:
• Daily briefings from calendar + inbox
• Bug triage from email → Linear
• New contacts → CRM
• Weekly team summaries to Slack
• Customer research on new bookings
• Personalized mail merge campaigns
The agents actually think
No rigid if-this-then-that rules or flowcharts. Just describe your process in plain English and Tasklet figures out how to handle nuance, work around errors, and adapt to edge cases automatically.
Tasklet runs automatically
Set up an agent once and it runs daily, weekly, or on-demand—processing emails while you're in meetings, syncing data overnight, researching companies before you wake up. Schedule triggers, webhook triggers, or event-based triggers. You don't have to be there.
Tasklet connects to everything
Thousands of pre-built integrations (Gmail, Slack, Notion, Linear, HubSpot...) or any HTTP API or MCP server.
No API? No problem. Tasklet can control a VM in the cloud to get the job done. If your business uses it, Tasklet can automate it.
Existing tools just don't cut it
ChatGPT is brilliant, but you're the AI's interface with the world—copying data between apps, triggering actions manually, checking if things completed. AgentKit and Zapier can connect apps, but workflows are complex to set up and brittle when they hit edge cases.
Today we're launching a new product called Tasklet — it's an AI agent for automating your business.
Unlike ChatGPT, Tasklet actually does the work for you: connecting to your tools, triggering automatically, and handling tasks while you sleep. Check it out at tasklet.ai
