Task templates and social task discovery
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to task template generation and social task discovery. In examples, a task template catalog comprises task templates, which may be automatically generated and/or user-submitted, among other examples. Task templates can be reviewed, shared, and curated within the task template catalog. A user may browse the task catalog or search the task catalog for task templates. Once the user selects a task template, a task is generated based on the task template and added to the user's task list. In some examples, aspects of a task template may be customized. For example, a task may comprise parametric or conditional subtasks, thereby enabling a user to further tailor the task template to his or her needs. Thus, the task catalog provides a starting point from which the user can author a task in a task management application.
1. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the system to perform a set of operations, the set of operations comprising:

generating a task list in a user interface of the task management application comprising a display of at least the set of task templates and a subset for each task template of the set of task templates;
receiving, at the user interface, a selection of a task template;
in response to the selection of the task template, generating an updated user interface comprising a task template detail view of the selected task template, wherein the detail view comprises a customize button for the task template;
in response to an actuation of the customize button, customizing a task within the selected task template by:
adding a conditional subtask to the task, wherein the conditional subtask is associated with a conditional criterion;
evaluating the conditional criterion to generate an evaluation result;
and processing the conditional subtask according to the evaluation result to generate a customized task; and
presenting the customized task to be added to the task list for a user in the user interface of the task management application.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the set of operations further comprises:
in response to the selection of the task template, generating an updated user interface comprising a task template detail view of the selected task template, the task template detail view comprising:
a set of reviews for the selected task template; and
a set of notable steps for the selected task template.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the display further comprises associating a badge with at least one of task template of the set of task templates, and wherein the badge is at least one of a cost badge or a time badge.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display further comprises a filter pane comprising a set of filters associated with the set of task templates and a sort selector to sort the set of task templates.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the conditional criterion comprises one or more of: completion of a second task, completion of a subtask, availability of an input associated with the conditional subtask, a characteristic of a device associated with a user, a time, a date, and a season.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein processing the conditional subtask according to the evaluation result further comprises one of:
including the conditional subtask in the customized task;
omitting the conditional subtask from the customized task;
marking the conditional subtask as complete; and
modifying the conditional subtask to incorporate a set of constituent subtasks and adding the constituent subtasks to the customized task.
7. A method for customizing a task template from a task template catalog, comprising:
receiving, from the task catalog, a set of task templates associated with a task intent in a task management application;
generating a task list in a user interface of the task management application comprising a display of at least the set of task templates and a part for each task template of the set of task templates;
receiving, at the user interface, a selection of the a task template, wherein the selected task template comprises a task;
customizing the task within the selected task template by:
adding a conditional subtask to the task, wherein the conditional subtask is associated with a conditional criterion;
evaluating the conditional criterion to generate an evaluation result; and
processing the conditional subtask according to the evaluation result to generate a customized task;
generating, based on the selected task template, a task for the user comprising the customized task; and
presenting the customized task to be added to the task list for a user in the user interface of the task management application.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the set of task templates is received from the task catalog in response to a task template request, and wherein the task template request comprises the task intent.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein generating the display further comprises associating a badge with at least one task template of the set of task templates, and wherein the badge is at least one of a cost badge or a time badge.
10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
adding the customized task to a task list for the user in a task management application.
11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the display further comprises a filter pane comprising a set of filters associated with the set of task templates and a sort selector to sort the set of task templates.
12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the conditional criterion comprises one or more of: completion of a second task, completion of a subtask, availability of an input associated with the conditional subtask, a characteristic of a device associated with a user, a time, a date, and a season.
13. The method of claim 7 , wherein processing the conditional subtask according to the evaluation result further comprises one of:
including the conditional subtask in the customized task;
omitting the conditional subtask from the customized task;
marking the conditional subtask as complete; and
modifying the conditional subtask to incorporate a set of constituent subtasks and adding the constituent subtasks to the customized task.
14. A computer-readable storage media comprising computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a set of operations comprising:
receiving a set of task templates associated with a task intent in a task management application;
generating a task list in a user interface of the task management application providing for a display of at least the set of task templates and a subset for each task template of the set of task templates;
receiving, at the user interface, a selection of a task template;
in response to the selection of the task template, generating an updated user interface comprising a task template detail view of the selected task template, wherein the detail view comprises a customize button for the task template;
in response to an actuation of the customize button, customizing a task within the selected task template to by:
adding a conditional subtask to the task, wherein the conditional subtask is associated with a condition;
evaluating the condition to generate an evaluation result; and
processing the conditional subtask according to the evaluation result to generate a customized task; and
presenting the customized task to be added to the task list for a user in the user interface of the task management application.
15. The computer-readable storage media of claim 14 , wherein the set of operations further comprises:
in response to the selection of the task template, generating an updated user interface comprising a task template detail view of the selected task template, the task template detail view comprising:
a set of reviews for the selected task template; and
a set of notable steps for the selected task template.
16. The computer-readable storage media of claim 14 , wherein generating the display further comprises associating a badge with at least one task template of the set of task templates, and wherein the badge is at least one of a cost badge or a time badge.
