Study looks at how to break up, estimate and plan micro tasking using information systems and computer programs to suggest timing throughout the day to complete certain timed tasks, it would use a task management application. Proposing the use of information systems as a way to plan and prose certain microtasks throughout the day. 

Microtask Detection Study

Some common microtasks do not actually need to be done by a person. Instead, they can be done automatically. By incorporating automation as one form of task sourcing, microproductivity systems offer a pathway for integrating artificial intelligence into productivity tasks that are currently impossible to automate.

Soliciting support from peers (via “friendsourcing”) or paid crowd workers (via “crowdsourcing”) is easy with microproductivity, because sharing a self-contained microtask with another person requires almost no coordination overhead. Microtasks can be allocated to the most appropriate person depending on the required level of expertise, the person’s availability, and their familiarity with the task.
