The problem it solves

Keeping a to-do list up to date usually means opening yet another app, and reminders either don't come or come from a system you never check. You want to just tell someone what needs doing and be reminded when it's due, without extra steps.

Who it fits

Individuals and small teams who want a simple, conversational way to track tasks without learning new software.

How it works

  1. You send a task command to a Telegram bot, such as creating, checking off, or removing a task
  2. AI reads the message and figures out what you want done
  3. Google Sheets is updated as the master task list
  4. Each evening, the system sends a summary of pending tasks to Telegram
  5. Reminders go out automatically for tasks due that day
What you get

Tasks tracked without opening a single app

You keep your to-do list up to date by simply texting a bot, with daily reminders in Telegram so nothing on your plate slips through.

What you get

An always up-to-date task list in Google Sheets, plus daily summaries and reminders in Telegram.

What you need

A Telegram bot, a Google Sheets account, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
