Getting started
NowDo.AI is a spreadsheet purpose-built for managing your todos. This page covers the first ten minutes.
Signing in
Sign in with email and password, or with Google, from the landing page. Your data lives in the cloud (Supabase) and follows you across devices. There's nothing to install.
Sign-up is open and free to start. No invite needed.
The empty task list
After signing in you land on an empty task list. Columns are pre-configured:
- Task: the thing you want to do.
- Topic: a tag for grouping (work, personal, errands, ...).
- Priority: drives scheduling order (P0 = right now, P3 = whenever).
- Do on: the day you plan to work on it.
- Status:
todo → wip → done.
Click any cell to start typing, or click the highlighted + Add a task row at the bottom of the sheet.
Your first row
Type a task name and hit Enter. Two paths from here:
- Fill in the rest yourself. Tab through the columns and pick values. Drag the bottom-right corner of a cell to copy down a column.
- Let AI do it. With the row selected, press ⌘Shift+A (or click the row's AI button). The model fills topic, priority, estimated hours, and a suggested "do on" date.
If you don't like AI suggestions, just overwrite them. They're not authoritative.
Where AI lives
Three places:
- Per-row enrichment (⌘Shift+A): fills missing columns based on the task text.
- Chat (⌘K): a sidebar conversation that can read your tasks, answer questions, and make changes ("reschedule everything stuck this week"). See AI surfaces.
- Memory: a personal-context dataset the AI uses to keep replies relevant to your work. Open it from Settings → AI → "About me."
What the buttons do
The bar along the top is mostly glyphs. If you are on a computer, hover over one and it tells you what it is. If you are on a phone, open Settings → Help, or press ⌘/ on a keyboard, and you get the same list in words:
- Chat: ask the assistant to find, add or reschedule tasks in your own words.
- Add: jot down anything on your mind. One line adds one task; several lines come back as tasks to confirm.
- Repack the schedule: moves your dated tasks onto the earliest days that still have room. Nothing is deleted, and you can undo it.
- Review my tasks: looks for duplicates, tasks going stale and ones that look too big, then suggests tidy-ups you accept or reject one by one.
- Sort and filter: the order your tasks are in, and which ones to show.
- Search: find a task by its wording.
- List or calendar: the same tasks as a list, or laid out over the days.
- Settings: appearance, working hours, AI, your plan and your account.
On a narrow screen the bar keeps only the buttons it has room for. Repack and Review move inside Sort and filter, and the list or calendar choice sits along the bottom.
