Automatic creation and maintenance of a taskline

One or more computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform a method for automatically generating a dynamic taskline, the method comprising:

• accessing one or more sources to retrieve contextual information associated with a user;
• from at least the contextual information, detecting a user task that comprises a plurality of subtasks;
• identifying one or more subtasks associated with the user task;
• ranking the one or more subtasks based, in part, on a current location of the user;
• automatically generating a taskline based on the ranking of the one or more subtasks;
• for a duration of time corresponding to the user completing the one or more subtasks, continually monitoring the contextual information for updated contextual information;
• using data measured by a hardware device associated with the user to detect the user's current location;
• dynamically modifying the taskline based on a particular point in time in which the user is viewing the taskline, the detected user's current location, or updated contextual information associated with the user;
• and
• syncing any modifications to the taskline across any other devices associated with the user.

A computer-implemented method for automatically generating a dynamic taskline, the method comprising:

• based, at least in part, on contextual information associated with a user, detecting a user task corresponding to the user, wherein the user task is a long running task that comprises a plurality of subtasks that, when completed, contribute to a completion of the user task;
• identifying one or more subtasks that are associated with the user task;
• using data measured by a hardware device associated with the user to detect the user's current location;
• ranking the one or more subtasks based, in part, on the user's current location;
• generating a taskline that comprises the user task and the one or more subtasks, the generating based on the ranking;
• for a duration of time corresponding to the user completing the one or more subtasks, continually monitoring the contextual information for updated contextual information;
• dynamically modifying the taskline based on the updated contextual information and the detected user's current location;
• and
• syncing any modifications to the taskline across other devices associated with the user.
