Smart Area Suggestions
Cadeo files new tasks into the right Area for you — automatically when it's certain, and with a one-tap confirm when it's a confident guess. It all runs on-device: nothing about your tasks leaves your machine for this feature.
When it happens
The moment you create a task that has a title but no Area yet, Cadeo quietly works out where it belongs. You don't press anything — it runs in the background the first time the task is saved.
What you'll see
Cadeo behaves differently depending on how sure it is:
| Situation | What Cadeo does |
|---|---|
| It's certain (the task's project or source meeting already has an Area) | Fills the Area in silently — no prompt needed |
| It's a confident guess (looks like tasks you've filed before, or matches a pattern you've taught it) | Shows a "Looks like …?" chip on the task row — naming the suggested Area — with a ✓ to accept and a ✕ to dismiss |
| It's unsure | Does nothing — the task stays Area-less and you file it yourself |
The confirm chip is dashed and tinted in the suggested Area's colour, so it's easy to tell apart from an Area that's already set.
How it decides
Cadeo runs a deterministic-first cascade and stops at the first rung that's confident enough:
- Project — if the task belongs to a project that has an Area, it inherits that Area. (auto-filled)
- Meeting — if the task came from a calendar meeting whose calendar is mapped to an Area, it inherits that Area. (auto-filled)
- Learned patterns — what you've taught Cadeo by accepting past suggestions (e.g. "tasks mentioning standup go to Work"). (confirm chip)
- Similar items — embedding similarity to the tasks and notes you've already filed. If your "run 5k" task looks like other things in Health, Cadeo suggests Health. (confirm chip)
The top two are facts, so Cadeo just fills them in. The bottom two are guesses, so Cadeo asks first.
It learns from you
Every time you tap ✓ on a suggestion, Cadeo records the choice. Over time its guesses sharpen to match how you organise — the same on-device learning that powers Inbox Triage and AI Task Suggestions. Dismissing a suggestion simply clears the chip; the task stays where it is.
Where it works
The same suggestion engine drives both normal task creation and AI Inbox Triage, so a task gets the same considered Area whether you type it into the planner or process it from your inbox.
Privacy
Area suggestions are computed entirely on your device using local embeddings and your own learned preferences. No task content is sent to the cloud for this feature, on any plan.
