OK, since you've apparently delegated all thinking to AI ("lmao"), can you ask it this: "What if there's already an established app called Tasker for Android"
Plus what I said about the potential confusion of users?
In another reply above you said "...if I were to take it seriously".. God fucking damnit, add this to my 2026 resolutions: ignore people putting up vibe-coded slop onto Show HN.

I asked it if people still understand sarcasm and humor in 2026 since it's doing all my "thinking" for me! You would not like the answer.
It's New Years Day. You seem to have a lot of anger.
I'm here for you if you need to talk. I support you!!!
Why Tasker is a good name Instantly understandable “Tasker” clearly communicates automation, jobs, actions, workflows Zero explanation needed — huge plus for a consumer + SMB product Broad enough to scale Works for: Desktop agent Cloud cron jobs HTTP-triggered automations AI agents running tasks for sales, ops, HVAC estimates, etc. Doesn’t lock you into just AI or just workflows Matches your positioning Given what you’ve built: non-technical, consumer-friendly automation powered by AI Tasker fits that perfectly — especially compared to over-clever AI names.
I think that answers your question lmao
