← Back to context

Trying to solve my own problem of drowning in meetings and scattered tools, turning things into actionable items.

It sits on top of what I already use and gives me a unified "What do I need to do (now/today)?" view.

Trying to auto-capture action items from meeting transcriptions and other inbound, and routing quick thoughts to the right tool with a couple of keystrokes, helping me prioritise my day so I'm not spending energy on too much organising (or through lack of organising getting distracted).

I wanted something that watched my inputs and keep my GTD loop running, especially when back-to-back meetings and context-switching make it really hard (or impossible) to stay on top of things I need to do!

Might also augment it with LLM for some support of task breakdown, but only as human-in-loop assistance.

Not thinking this could ever turn into a product since it's so custom.

I built a suite of cli tools my last rotation at work for this exact reason. Made a contacts database using recutils with a go cli wrapper, used vikunja for Todo (with a cli wrapper from someone else), have all knowledge stored in a Johnny decimal folder structure with markdown summaries, and an automated typst document creation pipeline cli to blast out reports and posters and stuff, among a couple others. I basically did my job via terminal with agents after investing a couple days getting it set up, paid off very quickly.
