Create to-dos and reminders from the chat
You don't fill in a form to make a to-do. You just tell the AI, in plain English, and it adds it to your Today list.
The AI assistant needs to be switched on. If the AI doesn't reply, ask your admin to set it up (Set up the AI assistant).
Open your chat with the AI
- Click Chat in the left-hand bar.
- In the sidebar, click the + next to Direct messages, and choose AI. After the first time it stays in your sidebar.
Your Today panel appears beside this chat. That's where your to-dos and reminders are listed.
Say what you want remembered
Type it as you'd say it to a colleague:
- Remind me to call Sam tomorrow at 10
- Add a task: send the Patel quote by Friday
- Remind me in 30 minutes to put the bins out
- I need to follow up with the Hendersons next Tuesday
The AI replies to confirm, and the item shows up in Today straight away. If you give a time, it works as a reminder: you'll get a notification when it's due (see Use Couchwork on your phone for turning notifications on).
Ask what's on
Try What's on today? or What do I need to do? and the AI lists your open items, soonest first.
Change one
Move the Sam call to Thursday or Change the Patel quote reminder to 3pm works too.
Be specific about the date and time. If you say "later" the AI will ask you when.
Your to-dos are private to you. Other people on your team can't see them.
