Super unnecessary confusion generating stuff from OP's side. He is having fun with people who think it's not the best idea too. Nobody is thinking of the potential confused user. It's a shit name to begin with, now we have two of them.
> I wanna get a job naming kitchen appliances. Seems like the easiest job ever. You know, refrigerator, toaster, blender... You just say what the thing does and then you add '-er'.

I'd recommend you change the name of your project sooner rather than later, Tasker is a well established app in the Android power user community for automating various tasks (albeit without AI)
I guess you didn't ask your AI if "Tasker" is a good name, or your AI doesn't know enough to answer that Tasker is a very well-known app that does what you describe, on Android.
Your post made me think Tasker had branched out to automating actions on desktop computers...
If your app gets popular, good luck sifting through the questions of confused people asking about tasks on Android, and realize that many many Tasker (the original one, see I already have to write in parantheses which Tasker I'm referring too) forum users will be cursing you for naming your app the same as theirs.
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.
