Random feedback, but the ad-hoc task assignment examples with specific dates seems counter to the type of tasking and leadership I’ve seen be the most successful.

This may be normal in other industries, but it’s tilted towards the boss’s convenience, rather than the IC’s. (It’s not very Leader / Leader vs Leader / Follower for example)

You nailed it! Internally we don't really assign dates either, but certain user profiles like the idea.. if not the practice :)

One of those marketing features- like buying a plane ticket with Siri.. Cool idea, never happened :)

We plan to get a lot smarter with enrichment in future - like referring to docs or projects to bring them into the conversation.

Yeah it might be as simple as changing it to "adding the task to a backlog" or 'next sprint' or whatnot. Again a minor thing, I've just been thinking a lot about leadership techniques recently.
