GenAI Tasker Plugin

GenAI Tasker Plugin is a third-party Tasker plugin developed by ChippyTech, the founder of Taskerpedia, that enables integration with multiple generative artificial intelligence (AI) providers. The plugin allows Tasker users to send prompts, images, and conversation history to AI models and receive responses directly within Tasker automations.

The plugin supports both cloud-based and locally hosted AI models, making it one of the most flexible AI integrations available for Tasker.

Overview

GenAI Tasker Plugin extends Tasker by providing a unified interface for interacting with large language models (LLMs) and multimodal AI systems.

Users can configure AI requests through a standard Tasker Plugin action and use the generated responses in tasks, profiles, scenes, widgets, and other automation workflows.

The plugin supports text generation, conversational AI, image analysis, and structured JSON-based interactions.

History

GenAI Tasker Plugin was released as an open-source project by ChippyTech and is distributed through GitHub.

The plugin was created to provide a provider-agnostic AI solution for Tasker users, allowing access to multiple AI services from a single Tasker action.

Features

• Multi-provider AI support

• Vision and image analysis capabilities

• Conversation history support

• JSON message input

• Dynamic Tasker variable integration

• Custom API endpoint support

• Local AI model support

• Raw JSON response access

• Open-source development

Supported Providers

The plugin supports several AI providers.

Provider

Default Model

OpenAI

gpt-4o-mini

Google Gemini

gemini-1.5-flash

Anthropic Claude

claude-3.5-sonnet

OpenRouter

google/gemini-flash-1.5

xAI

grok-2-latest

Ollama

llama3

Custom models may be specified depending on provider support.

Vision Support

GenAI Tasker Plugin supports multimodal interactions through image uploads.

Images can be provided using:

• Local file paths

• Tasker variables containing image paths

• Image URIs

The plugin automatically converts images into a format compatible with the selected AI provider.

Configuration

Provider

Specifies the AI service used for the request.

API Key

Authentication credential required by most cloud providers.

Model

Optional override for the provider's default model.

Base URL

Custom endpoint used for proxies, self-hosted services, or local AI servers.

Message Input

The plugin supports two primary input methods.

Manual Mode

Messages are configured directly within the plugin interface.

Supported roles include:

• System

• User

• Assistant

JSON Mode

Users can pass message arrays or raw text using Tasker variables.

Example:

[

  {

    "role": "user",

    "content": "Hello!"

  }

]

This mode is commonly used for dynamic conversations and advanced automation workflows.

Output Variables

The plugin returns AI responses through Tasker variables.

%ai_response

Contains the generated text response from the AI model.

%ai_raw_json

Contains the complete raw provider response for advanced processing and parsing.

Local AI Support

Unlike many AI plugins, GenAI Tasker Plugin supports locally hosted models through Ollama.

This allows users to run AI models entirely on local hardware without sending data to external services.

Example use cases include:

• Private AI assistants

• Home automation

• Offline automation

• Local knowledge bases

Tasker Integration

The plugin integrates with Tasker's Plugin action framework and can be used in:

• Tasks

• Profiles

• Projects

• Scenes

• Widget v2 widgets

• Tasker AI workflows

Responses can be stored in variables, displayed to users, processed as JSON, or passed to other actions.

Open Source

GenAI Tasker Plugin is fully open source and its source code is publicly available through GitHub.

Users can inspect, modify, and build the project themselves.

The plugin is distributed under an open-source license.

Requirements

• Android 8.0 or later

• Tasker

• Internet connection for cloud providers

• Ollama server for local AI usage

Community Usage

The plugin is commonly used for:

• AI chatbots

• Smart home assistants

• Notification summarization

• Email generation

• Image analysis

• Knowledge retrieval

• Natural language automation

• AI-powered widgets
