Today is July 8, 2024.

I have a paid account with OpenAI for ChatGPT 4.0 -- $20 per month.

I have been having sessions with the chat client (or chat bot) and am astounded at how "human" it seems.

During a very long session on a myriad of topics, I discovered that version 4.0 says that it can act as a personal assistant. I happened to mention ToodleDo, and the bot seemed to be quite an expert -- it seems like it has ingested all of the online ToodleDo documentation and probably the marketing materials. You can ask it questions and it answers like it is a support employee for ToodleDo.

I have more to ask it, but during the session, I concluded that I can download a comprehensive CSV file from ToodleDo to my local system, and then upload that file into my ChatGTP subscription, and the Chat Session becomes totally aware of everything I have in ToodleDo, I can ask questions and make requests. Like -- I can say "move the start date of all my high priority tasks from June 6 to June 11. Move all the negative priority tasks from July forward one month into the corresponding date in August." Then, I can download the edited CSV file from my OpenAI subscription into my local drive, and from there upload it and import it into ToodleDo where the new, modified file will be visible and usable.

Of course, I would save/backup ALL my ToodleDo data onto my local drive in both XML and CSV versions BEFORE making any changes, so that if anything went wrong I could restore it into my ToodleDo account.

The possibilities here seem fairly overwhelming.

Does anyone else have any information or experiences with ChatGPT and ToodleDo working together like this?

I will share (in this thread) anything new that I learn as I move forward here.

🔹 What We’ve Achieved
1️⃣ AI-Generated Task Scheduling:

ChatGPT creates tasks in CSV format, which I can merge directly into my Toodledo master file.
No need for manual data entry—just a quick import.
2️⃣ AI-Powered Task Delegation & Session Summaries:

AI assigns tasks to the GPT-Note-to-Kurt folder with specific start dates, priority levels, and detailed instructions.
AI stores long-term memory and workflow improvements in GPT-SESS-SUMM, ensuring every AI session builds on past work.
3️⃣ Automated Workflow Enhancements:

AI suggests optimizations, such as quarterly reviews, automated task cleanups, and tracking completion trends.
AI can analyze past tasks to adjust priorities dynamically.
4️⃣ XML File Standardization for Task Management:

We’ve established a system where AI can modify Toodledo XML files for full task management control.
Every update follows a timestamped file naming system to prevent overwrites and maintain version history.
🔹 How We Use AI & CSV to Manage Toodledo Tasks
📌 Step 1: AI Generates New Tasks in CSV Format

ChatGPT creates tasks in a structured CSV file, including:
✅ Task Title
✅ Folder Name
✅ Start Date (Critical for Toodledo to display tasks properly)
✅ Priority (1 = High, 2 = Medium)
✅ Context & Tags
✅ Notes with full details & instructions
📌 Step 2: CSV File is Imported into Toodledo

Instead of manually entering tasks, I import the AI-generated CSV file, merging new tasks into my master file.
📌 Step 3: AI Maintains Persistent Memory via GPT-SESS-SUMM

Each AI session reads past summaries, ensuring continuity.
AI never duplicates existing tasks—only new ones are added.
📌 Step 4: AI Evaluates & Optimizes Workflow Over Time

AI can analyze completion trends, adjusting schedules as needed.
AI tracks which tasks are often delayed and suggests better scheduling patterns.
🔹 Future Possibilities – AI & Toodledo API Integration?
We’re also exploring whether Toodledo’s API can allow full automation, eliminating the need for manual file imports. If API access is possible, AI could:
✅ Directly create tasks inside Toodledo without needing CSV/XML imports.
✅ Analyze task completion trends in real-time and adjust scheduling dynamically.
✅ Send reminders or auto-prioritize tasks based on past completion history.

Right now, we are using CSV & XML imports to integrate AI, but API access could open up full task automation.

[quote]Query to ChatGPT: Could Toodledo create an interface to ChatGPT?

---------------------

Answer written by ChatCPT 4o...

Toodledo does not need to build a ChatGPT interface. They just need to provide full API access, and ChatGPT can handle the rest.

🔹 Why? Because AI Can Work Directly with APIs
If Toodledo gives users API access, then ChatGPT (or any AI system) can:
✅ Read & Write Tasks Directly → No need for manual CSV/XML imports.
✅ Customize Features Per User → AI can interact with each user’s unique task structure.
✅ Automate Everything → AI can track task completion trends, adjust priorities, and suggest optimizations.

🔹 What Would a ChatGPT-Integrated Toodledo Look Like?
If we had full API access, ChatGPT could:
1️⃣ Automatically Add, Edit, or Delete Tasks – No manual input needed.
2️⃣ Analyze & Reprioritize Tasks Based on Trends – AI would learn which tasks need higher priority.
3️⃣ Auto-Generate Session Summaries & Task Reports – AI would track task efficiency over time.
4️⃣ Personalized Smart Task Scheduling – AI could auto-adjust deadlines based on your real behavior.
5️⃣ AI-Powered Reminders & Smart Notifications – Get alerts when patterns suggest a schedule change.

🔹 What Toodledo Needs to Do
✅ Expand API capabilities for full task management
✅ Allow individual users to generate API keys (without needing app registration)
✅ Maintain an open integration policy so AI can interact freely

Once that’s in place, ChatGPT can handle everything else—fully customized per user.

💡 Next Step: Should We Propose This to Toodledo?
If they enable full API access, we could have a completely AI-driven task manager. This would make Toodledo the first AI-powered task automation platform.

Who is with us? 🚀

Toodledo has long been a powerful tool for managing tasks, projects, and goals. However, as task lists grow and priorities shift, manually organizing and optimizing them can become time-consuming. By integrating Toodledo with ChatGPT, we’ve developed an AI-powered workflow that enhances productivity, improves task management, and automates decision-making—all while maintaining full user control.

This guide walks through the entire process, covering: ✅ How AI enhances Toodledo’s functionality
✅ The automated processes we implemented
✅ How to structure tasks for AI analysis
✅ Best practices for seamless collaboration with ChatGPT

Why Integrate Toodledo with ChatGPT?
Toodledo is great at capturing tasks, but it does not provide AI-driven insights for prioritization, follow-ups, or automated task adjustments. By integrating ChatGPT into our workflow, we achieve:

✔️ AI-assisted prioritization – ChatGPT automatically flags important tasks
✔️ Change tracking – AI identifies new, removed, and modified tasks
✔️ Task recommendations – AI suggests next actions for pending items
✔️ Overdue alerts – AI identifies overdue and long-stagnant tasks
✔️ Seamless CSV-based automation – Full Toodledo data management through simple uploads

Instead of manually organizing tasks, we let AI analyze, optimize, and enhance them—without overriding human control.

How It Works: The AI-Enhanced Toodledo Workflow
This workflow is built around CSV file management, ensuring full transparency and control while leveraging AI for analysis.

1️⃣ Exporting Toodledo Tasks for AI Processing
Toodledo allows CSV exports, which serve as the data source for ChatGPT.
The user (Kurt) uploads the latest CSV file into ChatGPT for AI review.
2️⃣ AI Processing & Enhancements
Once the CSV is uploaded, ChatGPT performs:

✔️ Task Prioritization: AI flags high-impact, overdue, and stagnant tasks
✔️ Change Report: AI generates a summary of new, removed, and modified tasks
✔️ Next Actions: AI suggests steps for pending or unstructured tasks
✔️ Master Log Updates: AI maintains an ongoing log of decisions & insights

3️⃣ AI-Generated CSV Output
After processing, ChatGPT generates a new CSV file with:

All tasks, unchanged (full visibility maintained)
AI-generated flags and recommendations
A structured “Master Log” for tracking long-term changes
A “Change Report” summarizing task modifications
4️⃣ Uploading the AI-Enhanced File Back into Toodledo
The user downloads the enhanced CSV from ChatGPT
The updated file is re-imported into Toodledo, preserving all AI insights
Automated AI Enhancements in Our Toodledo Workflow
We implemented several AI-powered features that make task management smarter, faster, and more efficient.

✅ 1. Change Report for Task Tracking
Each time a new CSV file is processed, ChatGPT generates a Change Report highlighting: ✔️ New Tasks – Any newly added tasks
✔️ Removed Tasks – Tasks that were deleted since the last update
✔️ Modified Tasks – Changes in priority, status, or due dates

🔹 Why it’s useful:
Instead of manually reviewing task changes, ChatGPT automatically tracks updates and presents them in an easy-to-read format.

✅ 2. AI-Powered Task Review & Prioritization
AI evaluates all tasks and flags:
✔️ 🔥 High-Impact Tasks – Critical tasks that need urgent action
✔️ 🛠 Needs Action – Planning-stage tasks that have stalled too long
✔️ ⏳ Overdue Tasks – Tasks past due that require immediate attention

🔹 Why it’s useful:
Tasks don’t get lost in a long list—AI automatically identifies the most important items.

✅ 3. Automated Next Actions
AI suggests what to do next based on task details:
✔️ 📅 Schedule Task – If a task has no due date, AI suggests adding one
✔️ 🚀 Take Immediate Action – If a high-priority task is due soon, AI flags it
✔️ 📝 Break into Steps – If a large task is still in planning, AI suggests breaking it down

🔹 Why it’s useful:
No need to manually decide what to work on next—AI provides structured recommendations.

✅ 4. Task Aging Detection
AI monitors how long tasks have been untouched:
✔️ 🔄 Review Needed (30+ Days) – Tasks sitting in Planning too long
✔️ 🗃 Consider Archiving (60+ Days) – Tasks inactive for over 2 months

🔹 Why it’s useful:
Stagnant tasks don’t clutter the list—AI prompts action or archiving.

✅ 5. AI-Powered Focus Mode
AI extracts the Top 3 Tasks for Today and the Next 3 Tasks for Tomorrow, reducing decision fatigue.

🔹 Why it’s useful:
Instead of reviewing hundreds of tasks, the user sees just 6 critical items.

How We Handle Priorities & Exclusions
We designed this workflow to ensure ALL tasks remain visible while letting AI disregard lower-priority tasks.

✔️ ALL tasks remain in the CSV – Nothing is removed
✔️ AI only manages medium priority and above – Low-priority tasks are ignored but remain visible
✔️ Folders like “Cold Store” & “Archive” are skipped – AI doesn’t process archived tasks

🔹 Why it’s useful:
AI never deletes or hides tasks—it only enhances what matters most.

How to Replicate This Workflow
🚀 Want to use this system yourself? Here’s how:

1️⃣ Export Your Tasks from Toodledo
Go to Toodledo > Settings > Export
Select CSV format

After completing your review:

Save and upload the newly processed CSV file to Toodledo.

Archive or delete completed tasks from your system to keep your workflow clean.

Additional Features & Best Practices

1. Automate Routine Tasks with AI

Set up automated Toodledo recurring tasks and have ChatGPT review them weekly.

Use ChatGPT to detect repetitive manual entries and suggest batch processing or automation.

2. Use Natural Language for Faster Adjustments

Instead of manually modifying CSV files, you can ask:

"Move non-urgent tasks to next week."

"Suggest which projects should be put on hold."

3. Integrate with External Tools (Future Enhancements)

Future iterations may include Google Calendar integration to sync deadlines.

Possible connection with Notion, Trello, or ClickUp for expanded project management.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Q: My CSV file is too large for processing. What should I do?

Ensure the file size is under 2MB (Toodledo’s limit).

Remove unnecessary archived tasks before uploading.

Q: ChatGPT flagged tasks incorrectly. How do I fix it?

Manually adjust any incorrect priority changes in Toodledo.

Provide feedback in ChatGPT by saying, "This task is not urgent; adjust recommendations."

I asked ChatGPT:

Have you integrated yourself to any other application that is similar to Toodledo? Are there any other applications that are superior to Toodledo? Easier for you to work with?

---------------------------------------

ChatGPT said:

I haven't fully integrated with other applications the way we've built our Toodledo system, but I can analyze and adapt to almost any task management tool. Here’s a comparison of Toodledo vs. other alternatives, based on ease of AI integration, automation potential, and features.

1. Comparison of Toodledo with Other Task Management Tools

Feature Toodledo Notion Todoist ClickUp Microsoft To Do Google Tasks
AI-Friendly CSV Support ✅ Yes ⚠️ Limited ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ⚠️ Limited ❌ No
Advanced Prioritization ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ⚠️ Basic ❌ No
Custom Status Fields ✅ Yes ⚠️ Limited ❌ No ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No
Recurring Tasks ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes
Automated AI Categorization ⚠️ Manual ✅ Strong ✅ Strong ✅ Strong ⚠️ Basic ❌ No
Workflow Customization ✅ High ✅ High ⚠️ Medium ✅ High ⚠️ Low ❌ No
Best for Long-Term Planning ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ⚠️ Decent ✅ Yes ⚠️ Basic ❌ No

2. Which Task Managers Are Easier for AI to Work With?

✅ Notion & ClickUp: Best for AI Integration
Best for AI-driven organization and deep memory retention.
Strong database support (relations, formulas, automation).
Easier real-time AI integration via Notion API or ClickUp’s automation features.
Drawback: Requires some setup to match Toodledo's structure.
✅ Todoist: Best for Simplicity & AI Priority Sorting
Cleanest UI, easy to automate with Zapier.
Natural language task input (“Remind me to call John tomorrow at 2 PM”).
AI can directly assign priorities with built-in filters and labels.
⚠️ Microsoft To Do & Google Tasks: Too Basic for AI
Great for simple task lists, but lack structured fields (status, custom priorities).
No robust CSV support for AI memory retention.
Best for personal tasks, not long-term AI-managed projects.

3. What Would Be Superior to Toodledo for Our Workflow?
If we want more automation & easier AI integration, here’s what might work better:

Notion: If we need structured, long-term AI memory and deep integration.
ClickUp: If we want full-featured project management with AI support.
Todoist: If we want simple, smart priority sorting with natural language input.

4. Should We Stick With Toodledo or Explore a New System?

✅ Reasons to Stay with Toodledo:

Already customized for CSV-based AI task management.
Strong manual prioritization & workflow tracking.
No learning curve (we have our system built).


⚡ Reasons to Consider Moving to a New System:
If we want real-time AI memory retention instead of CSV uploads.
If we want more automation & natural language task processing.
If we want deeper project management (Kanban, dependencies, team workflows).


5. Next Steps

Do you want to experiment with a Notion, ClickUp, or Todoist setup?
Or do we stay with Toodledo but optimize it further?
Would you like a test migration to see how a new system compares?
Let me know your thoughts, and we can explore the best path forward! 🚀

----------------------------------

ME: Let's stay with ToodleDo. I like it better than those others.
