My WhatsApp bot got banned the day I got my first paying customer. So I rebuilt it as an Android App

The Backstory:
Six months ago, I built an AI productivity agent that lived entirely inside WhatsApp. The thesis was simple: To-do apps have too much friction. Chatting is natural.
It worked. Retention was great. People loved "dumping" their anxiety into a chat.
Then, exactly on the day my first subscriber paid... Meta banned the account.

The Pivot:
Instead of fighting with appeal forms, I realized I couldn't build a business on rented land. I spent the last few months rebuilding the entire experience as an Android App called Taskai.
What makes it different:
Most AI to-do lists are just wrappers around ChatGPT. I built Taskai to act as a stateful "Assistant" with high EQ.
- It handles "Brain Dumps": You can type messy thoughts, and it parses them into a schedule.
- It has Empathy: It doesn't shame you for overdue tasks; it helps you reschedule them guilt-free.
- Native Features: Since I went native, I could add background notification actions (Snooze/Done) that weren't possible on WhatsApp.

Where I'm at now:
I just launched on Google Play and hit my first 500 installs. I'm focusing heavily on the North America markets where "productivity culture" is strong.
Would love feedback on the "Chat" interface vs. a standard list!
