Abstract
A method may include obtaining first sensor data from first sensors of first workspace devices and a first timestamp corresponding to the first sensor data. The first sensors of each workspace device may include a geolocation sensor. The first workspace devices may include an employee device corresponding to an employee. The method may further include obtaining task categories. Each task category may include a sensor data pattern. The method may further include calculating, for each task category, a first task distance between the sensor data pattern and the first sensor data. The method may further include determining a first task category based on the first task category having the first task distance that is shortest. The method may further include creating, based on the first task category, a first task instance with a start time equal to the first timestamp. The first task instance is assigned to the employee.
