MySamantha vs Google Tasks
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.

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.
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.

Turn long plans into simple schedules.
Dump all your tasks and Samantha organises them into a clean, realistic daily plan without you touching a calendar.
Reminders that fit how you speak.
MySamantha understands “later today”, “after lunch” and “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.
Moving over from Google Tasks.
Run both while you decide
Many people keep Google Tasks going while they settle in. Bring existing work into MySamantha at your own pace.
Can I use MySamantha alongside Google Tasks?
Yes. Many people run both while they decide. Import tools and integrations help you bring existing work into MySamantha at your own pace.
How does pricing work?
Your plan pays for the MySamantha software. AI usage is separate: use supported AI access you already have, bring your own key, pay as you go, or turn AI off.
Do I have to use the AI?
No. Turn AI off and MySamantha remains a workspace for Notes, Tasks and Journal without AI features.
