摘要： 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.

摘要： Aspects of the present disclosure relate to task modification and optimization. In examples, a user provides an indication of a task goal. A set of candidate task templates are identified based on the task goal. The user specifies optimization criteria, and the set of candidate task templates is ranked based on the optimization criteria. Accordingly, at least a part of the ranked set is presented to the user, from which the user selects a task template. In other examples, an optimal task template is determined automatically. In some instances, a user selects a subtask of an existing task to optimize in view of optimization criteria. Accordingly, a set of candidate subtasks is identified. The set of candidate subtasks is ranked according to the optimization criteria, after which a user may select one or more replacement subtasks. As a result, subtasks of the task are replaced according to the selected subtask.
