Description

WorkIq does a great job reading and understanding email. However, Outlook Tasks seem to be inaccessible to it.

Tasks (View -> Layout -> To-Do Bar -> Tasks) is a useful tool sometimes employed by people for planning their daily and weekly activities. Cross-referencing Tasks with Calendar and email could further enhance WorkIq's context capture and assistance capabilities. If possible, please add this functionality.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing email and calendar access paths, then determine where Outlook Tasks would fit and how task data should be exposed alongside them. Done means Work IQ can read the Outlook To-Do list and make it available for context alongside email and calendar information.
