To-do list
A simple checklist of tasks.
One row per item, the plainest possible view.
- Call the florist backToday
- Send the revised quoteToday
- Book the van for SaturdayThu
- Update the opening hoursThis week
What it does
Behaviours, not fields. Choosing between two modules is choosing between these.
The simplest module here, and often the right one — a board with three columns and four cards is a list with extra steps.
A line is added whenever somebody says they will do something, which is when it would otherwise be forgotten.
Due dates are optional, because most small tasks do not have one and pretending otherwise adds noise.
How it works
- 1
A line is added whenever somebody says they will do something.
- 2
Done is set when the task comes up again as finished; nothing needs opening.
- 3
Completed tasks stay for a while and then fall away, so the list does not become an archive.
- 4
The agent raises anything due today unprompted.
Best for
Reading and scanning. It is the right default more often than it looks.
Not the right choice for
Comparing many fields at once — use a table.
What a row holds
Every field, and what the agent listens for to fill it — which is the difference between a page you type into and one that fills itself.
| Field | Type | Filled from |
|---|---|---|
| Taskrequired | text | What needs doing, in the words it was said in. |
| Due | text | When, loosely. Today and this week are as valid as a date. |
| Donerequired | choice | Yes or No. Deliberately binary — a partially done task is two tasks. |
What it does not do
A module chosen for something it cannot do costs more than one that was never offered.
- No states between not-done and done. If that matters, this should be a board.
- No sub-tasks, no priorities, no tags. Adding them turns it into the thing it exists to be simpler than.
- Due is text, so nothing sorts reliably across mixed formats.
- Nothing assigns a task to somebody else.
Before it works
What you have to provide, if anything.
- Nothing at all.
- If you find yourself wanting columns, move to Task board rather than bending this.
In practice
An owner who kept a running list in a notes app and lost it twice.
“I need to call the florist back and book the van for Saturday.”
What the agent built
Two tasks, one due today and one Thursday, from a single sentence.
What changed
The list stopped living on a phone. Nothing dramatic — it just stopped being rewritten every Monday.
Better with
These do a different job on the same data. An agent can have all of them.
The failure mode is forgetting at the right time — renewals, follow-ups, anything with a date that arrives quietly.
A routine must be performed identically each time and missing a step has consequences.
Several pieces of work are in flight at once and the useful question is what stage each is at rather than when it is due.
Questions
What data does the To-do list page use?
It reads task records the agent has collected. A simple checklist of tasks. Nothing has to be imported first — the page appears once there is something to show.
Do I have to build or configure it?
No. You describe what you need in a sentence and the agent chooses the view and fills it. Custom pages exist for the cases no built-in view covers, and those are reviewed before they go live.
When is a list the wrong choice?
Comparing many fields at once — use a table. It is best for: reading and scanning. It is the right default more often than it looks.
Does it stay up to date?
Yes. The page is a view over the data rather than a copy of it, so anything the agent learns afterwards shows up without a rebuild or a re-import.

You do not configure this page. You tell your agent what you need and it builds it from what it has already collected.
