Abstract

Introduction: Managing multiple academic tasks with overlapping deadlines remains challenging for university students, while conventional task-management applications still require substantial manual organization and prioritization. This study develops an LLM-based AI Task Agent that enables conversational academic task management through Telegram and workflow automation. Method: The proposed system integrates Telegram as the interaction interface, n8n for workflow orchestration, an LLM-based AI agent for natural-language interpretation and tool selection, Google Sheets for task-data operations, PostgreSQL for conversational memory, and scheduled workflows for automated reminders. The system supports Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations, contextual priority recommendations based on deadline, urgency, and lecturer strictness, and proactive reminders. Functional performance and response time were evaluated across the primary system functions. Results and Discussion: Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations achieved 100% functional accuracy, while priority recommendation and automated reminder functions achieved 95%. Recorded processing times ranged from 3.1 to 3.5 seconds, with an average of approximately 3.32 seconds. The results demonstrate that separating LLM-based interpretation from predefined external tool execution enables reliable conversational task management while maintaining controlled data operations. Conclusion: The proposed LLM-based AI Task Agent demonstrates the feasibility of integrating conversational interaction, executable task-management functions, contextual prioritization, memory, and proactive reminders within a unified Telegram-based academic workflow.
