What is Hypertask?

Hypertask is a project management platform built for a world where humans and AI agents work side by side. Instead of treating AI as an afterthought, Hypertask gives agents the same first-class access as human team members — through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

The web app lives at app.hypertask.ai. It’s a Next.js application designed for speed, with real-time sync via Server-Sent Events (SSE).

Why Hypertask?

Most project management tools were designed for humans clicking through UIs. That breaks down when an AI coding agent needs to pick up a task, read context, do the work, and report back. Hypertask solves this.

AI Task Writer

Describe what you need in natural language. Hypertask generates structured tasks with titles, descriptions, priorities, and estimates.

Voice Dictation

Capture tasks by speaking. Powered by Whisper, so you can dictate a task from your phone or desktop without typing a word.

HyperAI Co-worker

An AI assistant embedded in every project. It can summarize progress, suggest next steps, and help you write task descriptions.

MCP for AI Agents

Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Agents can list tasks, create work items, move cards between sections, and post comments — all programmatically.

How Hypertask is organized

Work in Hypertask follows a simple hierarchy:

Team (Organization)
  └── Projects
        └── Sections (columns)
              └── Tasks
                    ├── Comments
                    ├── Subtasks
                    └── Attachments

• Projects are containers for related work — a product, a client engagement, a sprint. Each project has its own board, members, and settings.
• Sections are the columns on a project board. Typical setups use Todo, Doing, Review, and Done, but you can customize them however you like.
• Tasks are the units of work. They carry a title, HTML description, priority, estimate, assignee, due date, and a unique ticket number like PROJ-123.
• Comments are threaded discussions on tasks. They support HTML formatting, @mentions, emoji reactions, and file attachments.

Note

Every task gets a sequential ticket number scoped to its project (e.g., HT-42). Use these to reference tasks in commits, comments, or conversations with your AI agent.

Built for async and deep work

Hypertask is opinionated about how teams should work:

• Async-first. The inbox, task comments, and auto-summaries keep everyone informed without requiring real-time meetings.
• Deep work friendly. No chat. No presence indicators. No “typing…” animations. Communicate through tasks and comments when you’re ready.
• AI agents as team members. Assign tasks to an AI agent the same way you’d assign them to a colleague. The agent picks up work from its inbox, moves tasks through sections, and posts updates in comments.
