Agree. That's the biggest ask from myself from using it. That's why I was thinking of just having a deployment option to my own server or something. Just runs and I don't have to be interrupted during my browsing.

That makes a lot of sense tbh. I believe some of the way around this is only exposing context and actionable tools the agent can and should be using per step but additional guardrails would not hurt at all.

I will try to see if I can get my hands on a similar spec to test and recreate! Thanks for the message :)

Phenomenal questions. Sandboxing would be a PHENOMENAL idea. And allowlist it currently is capable of this but does require code changes so configuration based would probably be more what you are referring to?

The replay feature is similar to the record feature. It's not a "guardrail" I would say though.

All stuff that definitely would be great idea.

Makes sense, thanks for the clarification.

I mostly worry about the gap between a correct plan and execution-time behavior — especially when tools touch the filesystem or OS APIs. Even a single malformed argument can have irreversible effects.

Totally agree these guardrails are non-trivial, but it’s great to see the project thinking in this direction.

I knew about it. I just did it for fun and me and my father so did not care enough. You can name it whatever you would like.

Lmfaooooo on the meltdown. No probably not considering I have been one for longer. And so far it has. Time will be the real tell so I've heard.

Technically it can run any OpenAI schema open source LLM through Fireworks or Groq or whatever. But you are right I should probably make that clearer.

I'd recommend you change the name of your project sooner rather than later, Tasker is a well established app in the Android power user community for automating various tasks (albeit without AI)

Yeah probably if I were to take it seriously! Thanks for the rec

You’re fine, trust me. Mac and android apps that do different things often have the same names.

Yeah I know and agree. I use like dozens of tools with same names, many very similar products. But those that are genuinely confused and provide feedback I appreciate. Those that are hostile that just seem to follow "misery loves company", I like to be sarcastic with. Seems to be a win win with both sides (I can be a smart ass).

Appreciate it!

I guess you didn't ask your AI if "Tasker" is a good name, or your AI doesn't know enough to answer that Tasker is a very well-known app that does what you describe, on Android.

Your post made me think Tasker had branched out to automating actions on desktop computers...

If your app gets popular, good luck sifting through the questions of confused people asking about tasks on Android, and realize that many many Tasker (the original one, see I already have to write in parantheses which Tasker I'm referring too) forum users will be cursing you for naming your app the same as theirs.

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

It’s great and I love it and don’t change the name!

OK, 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.

I 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!!!

Yuck.

Hahahaha, oh fun. I guess so then.

It is opening for me, maybe DNS stuff although its been up for a month. https://automatewithtasker.com or https://github.com/pitalco/tasker if that does not work.

This wasn't for that purpose. But the other ones were so thank you very much! Thats helpful. Did not know that was a thing.

It doesnt work when trying to go through OAuth.

Thanks, could you name your browser and OS?
