Todoist AI
AI-powered task management. Smart suggestions and natural language input.
About Todoist AI
Todoist AI is the artificial intelligence layer built into Todoist, one of the world's most popular task management applications with over 40 million users. The AI features enhance Todoist's already powerful task management with intelligent capabilities including natural language task creation (type 'Meeting with Sarah tomorrow at 3pm' and it automatically sets the right date, time, and labels), smart scheduling suggestions that find the best time for tasks based on your workload patterns, and AI-powered project templates that generate structured task lists from a simple description. Combined with Todoist's cross-platform presence, collaboration features, and deep integrations with tools like Google Calendar, Slack, and Outlook, the AI features make task management feel effortless rather than like another task itself.
