A location-aware task automation service is configured to dynamically monitor locations and context associated with a group of users of mobile devices to identify a commonly shared goal of the group and perform automated actions to assist the group in achieving the goal. For example, the common group goal could include being at the same location at the same time to attend an event such as a show or party. By tracking the location of each member of the group, and monitoring applicable context such as traffic conditions, the service can predict when one or more of the group members is likely to be late to the event, and then perform automated tasks to assist the members in dealing with the delay such as identifying a faster route to the location. The service can also let other group members know of the delay by sending out notifications to their devices.
