The disclosure is directed to a crash bot that automates filing of a task for crashes in an application, e.g., a mobile app of a social networking application. The crash bot identifies various instances of crashes, e.g., a failure, of an application, identifies a root cause of the crash, generates a task with various details about the crash that may be helpful for an entity, e.g., a programmer, identifies the entity to who the task is to be assigned, and assigns the task to the identified entity automatically. The crash bot can minimize the time consumed in assigning the crashes to an entity who can resolve the crashes. The crash bot can achieve this goal by identifying crashes as soon as they occur, creating a task for the identified crashes and assigning the task to the appropriate user automatically.
