The problem it solves

Jotting down tasks throughout the day means switching apps and typing everything out by hand, which is easy to skip when you're busy. Ideas said out loud or texted in the moment often get forgotten before they make it onto a real list.

Who it fits

Busy professionals, students, or teams who want to capture tasks on the go without opening a task app.

How it works

  1. A voice or text message is sent to a Telegram bot
  2. Voice messages are transcribed to text automatically
  3. AI reads the message and breaks it into clear, organized tasks
  4. Tasks are created directly in Todoist
  5. A Telegram reply confirms the tasks with a link to view them
What you get

Tasks captured the moment you think of them

You can send a quick voice or text message and get clear, organized tasks created for you directly in Todoist.

What you get

New Todoist tasks created from a message, with a confirmation sent back on Telegram.

What you need

A Telegram bot, a Todoist 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.
