Google Tasks is a lightweight list in the Google ecosystem. MySamantha is a complete personal workspace.
Google Tasks is deliberately minimal and shows up right where Gmail and Google Calendar users need it. MySamantha is a broader product: Tasks built alongside Notes, Journal, Email and Calendar, with an optional assistant that can work across them.
Choose Google Tasks if…
You want the lightest possible task list, free and embedded directly in Gmail and Google Calendar.
Choose MySamantha if…
You want richer views, filters and reminders, with tasks connected to notes, journal and email in one place, and AI that stays optional and can be turned off.
The architectural difference
Google Tasks is a thin layer attached to other Google apps. MySamantha makes tasks a first-class part of one workspace, so they share context with everything else you keep there.
Let’s make getting things done simpler.
Turn words → tasks
Type or speak naturally (“remind me to pay the bill tomorrow”), and Samantha creates the task with date, priority, and category automatically.
Turn long plans → simple schedules.
Dump all your tasks, Samantha organizes them into a clean, realistic daily plan without you touching a calendar.
Turn tasks → reminders that fit how you speak.
No need to set the time manually. MySamantha understands “later today”, “after lunch”, “tomorrow morning”, and sets the reminder for you.
See what matters, not everything.
Search by meaning, filter by priority, and get straight to the thing you’re actually looking for.
Tasks that live next to the work they came from.
Subtasks, priorities, due dates, reminders and recurring work, in the same place as the notes, meetings and emails that created them.
