# Guides: Turn an Email into a Task
URL: /docs/guides/email-into-a-task

Never lose a to-do buried in your inbox.

When an email needs an action, do not let it get lost. Ask the assistant:

<Asks>
  <Ask>Turn this email from John into a task, due Friday</Ask>
</Asks>

It creates the task with the email’s content attached, and it appears in your [Tasks](/docs/features/tasks) list with the due date you gave.
