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
- blackqueeriroh 9mo agoIt’s great and I love it and don’t change the name!
- netsharc 9mo agoOK, since you've apparently delegated all thinking to AI ("lmao"), can you ask it this: "What if there's already an established app called Tasker for Android" Plus what I said about the potential confusion of users? In another reply above you said "...if I were to take it seriously".. God fucking damnit, add this to my 2026 resolutions: ignore people putting up vibe-coded slop onto Show HN.
- schnetzlerjoe 9mo agoI asked it if people still understand sarcasm and humor in 2026 since it's doing all my "thinking" for me! You would not like the answer. It's New Years Day. You seem to have a lot of anger. I'm here for you if you need to talk. I support you!!!
- netsharc 9mo agoYuck.
