Turn Telegram messages into Notion tasks with due dates

Reads a quick Telegram message, figures out the task and due date with AI, and adds it to Notion once you approve.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. A person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

You think of to-dos on the go, but by the time you open your task manager to add them, you've forgotten half of it or just don't bother. You want capturing a task to be as fast as sending a text.

Who it fits

Anyone who wants to capture tasks and reminders quickly without opening a task app.

How it works

  1. You send a message to your Telegram bot describing a task, like a reminder with a date
  2. AI reads the message and pulls out the task name and due date
  3. It asks you to approve the task in Telegram
  4. Once approved, it creates the task in your Notion database
  5. It confirms back to you in Telegram that the task was added
What you get

Quick tasks added to Notion after one tap

You get a task with its due date pulled from a quick Telegram message, ready for you to approve into Notion.

What you get

A new task in your Notion database with the correct name and due date, plus a Telegram confirmation.

What you need

A Telegram bot, a Notion account, and a Google Gemini 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.
