💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with ask-human-now 
Create a personalized task reminder app using the 'ask-human' Python package. This app will allow users to set up tasks with specific reminders and deadlines. When a deadline approaches, the app will use 'ask-human' to send a notification asking if the user wants to extend the deadline, complete the task, or cancel it. Here are the steps and features you should include:

1. **Setup**: Install necessary packages including 'ask-human'.
2. **User Interface**: Develop a simple command-line interface where users can add tasks, view their tasks, and manage deadlines.
3. **Task Management**: Allow users to create tasks with descriptions, due dates, and priorities.
4. **Reminder System**: Implement a system that triggers reminders based on the due date of each task.
5. **Decision Making**: When a reminder is triggered, use 'ask-human' to send a message to the user asking what action they want to take regarding the task (extend deadline, mark as completed, or cancel).
6. **Feedback Handling**: Based on the user's response via 'ask-human', update the task status accordingly in the app.
7. **Persistence**: Save task data locally so that it persists even after the app is closed.
8. **Notifications**: Enhance user experience by integrating notifications for reminders and updates.

This project aims to demonstrate how 'ask-human' can be used to make applications more interactive and user-centric.
