Cortiq Tasks

Every channel, every task, every deadline — in one control room.

Cortiq Tasks is the tracker we built to run our own 13 YouTube channels. Plan videos on a pipeline board per channel, hand work to the right people, chat in channel rooms, keep an eye on AI credits and expenses — and let your tools add finished videos through the API.

  • Runs Cortiq's 13 channels every day
  • Kanban, list and calendar views
  • REST API for n8n, Make and Zapier
  • AI assist in English and Roman Urdu

The problem

Content teams outgrow WhatsApp and spreadsheets fast.

Once you run more than a couple of channels, the work stops fitting in chat threads and someone's memory. These are the problems Cortiq Tasks was built to end — first for us.

  • Work lost in chats

    Tasks handed out on WhatsApp or a call vanish in the scroll. Nobody is sure who owns what, or when it is due.

  • Ten channels, ten spreadsheets

    Scripts in one doc, Drive links in a sheet, upload status in someone's head. Every channel invents its own system.

  • Credits run out mid-render

    An AI provider hits zero and the pipeline quietly stops. You find out a day later, when the videos are late.

  • Automations with nowhere to report

    Your video tools finish the work, then a person still copies titles, links and thumbnails into a tracker by hand.

What you get

Everything a content team runs on — already connected.

Tasks, channels, chat, money and automations share one workspace, one permission model and one search box.

YouTube Channels module

A pipeline board for every channel.

Each channel gets its own board with the stages your videos really move through and the properties you track. Open a video and its script, upload checklist and publish time are right there.

  • Custom stages and properties per channel
  • Script editor with autosave
  • Upload checklist and publish scheduling
  • Channel notes, competitors and logos

Finance & API credits

Know before the credits run out.

The balances of your AI providers sit next to your accounts, expenses and subscriptions. When one runs low you get an alert — before a render fails, not a day after.

  • WaveSpeed, kie.ai, RunPod, OpenLux and more in one place
  • Low-balance alerts
  • Accounts, expenses, subscriptions and budgets
  • Private by default — the owner decides who sees it

REST API

Your tools report in on their own.

Video tools, n8n, Make, Zapier and your own agents create and update tasks and videos with a personal API token. Finished videos land on the right board with their Drive link, thumbnail, description and tags.

  • One token per automation, with exactly its owner's permissions
  • A retried request never creates a duplicate
  • Videos go straight into the right column
  • Plain JSON over HTTPS — any tool that can send a request

And the everyday work, handled.

The basics every team needs — done properly, in the same workspace.

    Paste a link, get the transcript

    Copying a format? Paste one YouTube link and the video's title and transcript are filled in for you.

  • Illustration of the board, list and calendar views with a month calendar and My tasks counts for today, this week and this month.

    Kanban, list and calendar

    Drag-and-drop boards, lists and a calendar — plus My tasks for today, this week and this month, and ⌘K search.

  • Illustration of recurring task rules: daily, weekly and monthly.

    Recurring tasks

    Daily, weekly or monthly rules create and assign a fresh task on time, every time.

  • Illustration of the Check access tool explaining why one person may assign a task and another may not.

    Who can give tasks to whom

    Roles, team managers and per-team rules — and a “Check access” tool that explains every rule in plain language.

  • Illustration of a channel chat room with messages from the team.

    Team chat

    Direct messages, group chats and a room for every channel. Direct and group chats stay private to their members — even from admins.

  • Illustration of AI assist turning a sentence in Roman Urdu into a filled task form.

    AI assist in English and Roman Urdu

    Describe a task in one sentence and the form fills itself. The AI proposes, you decide.

How it works

Up and running in an afternoon.

No migration project. Invite the team, set up your channels, connect your tools.

  1. Step 01

    Create your workspace

    Add teams and projects, then invite people by e-mail, a copied link or a WhatsApp share.

  2. Step 02

    Set up your channels

    Define the stages your videos move through, the properties you track, the upload checklist and routines like “Check analytics” every week.

  3. Step 03

    Connect your tools

    Give each tool its own API token. Finished videos land on the right board with their Drive link, thumbnail, description and tags.

  4. Step 04

    Run the day

    Everyone opens My tasks; managers see what's overdue; chat, credits and expenses sit one click away.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.

Can we use Cortiq Tasks today? , draft

Yes — it is live and runs Cortiq's own teams and channels every day. We are opening it to other content teams in early access: request access and we set up your workspace with you.

Do we have to use the YouTube Channels module?

No. Channels is an optional module that an admin switches on in settings. Teams that don't publish video use tasks, chat and finance on their own — nothing else changes.

Can our video tools and automations add work automatically?

Yes. The REST API lets n8n, Make, Zapier or your own scripts create and update tasks and videos with a personal API token. Each tool sends its own ID with a video, so a retry after a crash returns the existing video instead of creating a duplicate.

Who can see our finance data?

Only the workspace owner, by default. The owner gives each person view, record or full-control access — admins included — and access ends automatically when their role changes.

Is our data private?

Every workspace is isolated and every action is permission-checked on the server. Direct and group chats are readable only by their members — even workspace admins can't read them. Each channel room is open to the team working on that channel.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. Cortiq Tasks is fully responsive from phone to desktop, with light and dark themes.
