This looks fascinating; I am most interested in the first part “Turn ideas into action” (and not at all the ‘stay focused, gamified’ part), and wonder how they are decomposing Ideas. An assistant that can ingest some random thought that I have and figure out how to break that down and associate it with what’s going on in life - delegating what our brains already do - would free up focus and time in a way that could be transformational (especially for folks like me with short term memory issues).

Great take, thank you for sharing it! I think it primarily boils down to the context the app has. In this case, the more information you provide about the problem you want to solve, the more useful check points you can get. I agree that such an intelligent assistant, that has broader knowledge about what is going on in life, would be cool, as the user would not need to manually synthesize the information and think what else might be important for the given topic - maybe a future version of this app will account for this :) The general idea, and the way the app works, is to encourage looking at notes, ideas from the "ok, what can I do about it?" perspective, and help break it down into steps to take in order to accomplish that.
Yeah, I agree, personally I think it would be helpful and I've already tested the free version, - not too much, but created a few checklists and actually I was suprised how good it is, cause at the beginning I was quite skeptical, but at the end I changed my mind, it works quite well, you don't have to google things so it allows you to save some time and focus on other things instead, focus on pure action as it is presented on the site so yeah, looks cool
