Chat-based task intake
Users send a task in ordinary language through web chat, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, or Feishu instead of configuring a step-by-step automation flow.
todo.is
todo.is is a cloud-based AI task agent for people who want to assign work through chat instead of building automation flows. It can browse, research, run code, handle files, schedule recurring tasks, and report back through supported messaging channels.
AI task agent for chat-based workflows
todo.is is a cloud-based AI task agent that accepts to-dos in plain language through common chat channels and its web interface. Rather than asking users to build an automation with triggers and mapped fields, it interprets the requested outcome and works through the necessary steps.
The service can browse websites, run code, work with files, fill in web forms, and schedule recurring tasks. It continues operating 24/7 in the cloud and reports back when a job is complete; sensitive actions such as sending email, changing a calendar, buying something, or deleting files require approval.
Core capabilities
Browser-driven work
The agent can browse the web, including sites that do not offer an integration or API, to complete web-based research and workflows.
Code and file handling
todo.is can run code, handle files, and turn messy data into cleaner files when a task requires processing beyond a simple reminder.
Recurring automation
Recurring jobs can be scheduled for routines such as regular checks, briefings, and reminders, with results sent back through the chosen channel.
Connected work tools
After Google is connected, the agent can work with Gmail, Calendar, and Drive. It can also draft emails and documents as part of assigned work.
Approval controls and activity record
High-impact actions require a user approval in chat or on the web, while completed actions are shown in an Activity timeline.
Practical uses
Research and summaries
Ask the agent to investigate a topic, collect relevant information from the web, and return a concise summary through the messaging channel you already use.
Website and price monitoring
Schedule a recurring check of competitor pricing pages or other web pages and receive a report when the content changes.
Routine operational updates
Create recurring daily briefings, reminders, or scheduled status checks that continue to run without leaving a computer on.
Web forms and data preparation
Hand off form-filling work on websites or data cleanup tasks that involve files, browser interaction, and occasional code execution.
Google workspace tasks
With a connected Google account, use the agent for work involving Gmail, Calendar, or Drive, including drafting emails and documents.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Accepts plain-language tasks in several chat apps and on the web, reducing the need to configure traditional automation flows.
- Uses a real browser, enabling work on websites without a dedicated integration or API.
- Runs in the cloud around the clock, so tasks do not depend on the user's computer remaining on.
- Provides private-by-default channels, sandboxed workspaces, encrypted saved logins and API keys at rest, and an Activity timeline for actions.
Cons
- It requires JavaScript to use the todo.is app.
- Some actions, including email sending, calendar changes, purchases, and file deletion, pause for user approval rather than completing autonomously.
- Google-based workflows require the user to connect Google before the agent can work with Gmail, Calendar, and Drive.
FAQ
Do I need to keep my computer on while an agent works?
No. todo.is runs agents on cloud infrastructure around the clock, so work can continue after the user closes their computer.
Will the agent take sensitive actions without approval?
Sensitive actions such as sending email, changing a calendar, making a purchase, or deleting files wait for approval. Actions are recorded in the Activity timeline.
Do I need to bring my own AI API key?
Users can use platform AI credits without providing a key, or connect their own API key from providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, Groq, and OpenRouter.
Can other people use my agent?
Channels are private by default. A user pairs Telegram or WhatsApp with a one-time code, and other people who message the agent are told that it is private.
