Abstract

Automatically extracting and completing tasks associated with a communication is provided. In some examples, an application, such as a task management application, may generate nodes based on properties extracted from a communication, generate tasks based on the nodes, and construct a graph based on the nodes and the tasks. The task management application may also perform a prioritization of the tasks within the graph based on the properties of the nodes, order the tasks within the graph based on the prioritization of the tasks, and provide a task management interface to present the tasks within the graph. The task management application may also transmit the tasks within the graph to a task extraction engine of the task management application in response to a modification input executed on the graph.
