Shortcut to Specific Agents on Android Home Screen
complete

I've now started to create AI agents for a variety of purposes and would like to quickly access them from a shortcut on my home screen so that I can ask questions easily while on the go. Right now it involves going into Taskade, then the right Workspace, then Agents, and selecting the agent I'm interested in

Hey there! You can now add your agent to your Home Screen from mobile v4.9.3 and higher. Just make sure you have an Android device that supports App Shortcuts.
We’re also considering adding Agents to our Shortcut Widget. Stay tuned!

Amos Taskade ah this is awesome! Already started adding shortcuts to my home screen, makes the agents way more accessible because they're now in the places I spend time in regularly and I don't have to remember where each agent is in my workspaces and projects hierarchy
Nice feature ✨

Amos Taskade the next thing, it'd be awesome if the shortcut icon uses the icon I gave the agent inside Taskade, but already super useful as is

Would a DM-like feature help you with this? Something similar to Slack's sidebar? with Direct Messages and Channels?

Narek Zograbian I'm not super familar with Slack's sidebar -- if it's something where I open Taskade and can @mention a bot that might also be a good way to help with getting to the right one faster. Or if I could swipe right or left to see an array of bots I could talk to
In that sort of circumstance I still wonder if it might get to be a lot of user interactions needed if bots are scoped and only accessible within certain workspaces or projects though
A shortcut might bypass that by taking you directly to the bot regardless of the hierarchy

mattj Something like the sidebar on the right—with Agents being part of Direct Messages.
@mention would be an interesting use as well.
