Ask about your day. Then change it in one line.
Press ⌘K, then Tab, and you are in a chat about your day. Ask what still fits before lunch, or type “move my standup to 2, push everything after it, and hold 90 minutes for the side project tonight.” Before it plans, the AI reads your schedule, your free slots, your Inbox and the shape of your last 30 days. It comes back with a short answer and cards you can edit or uncheck before anything touches your day.
Included in Pro and the 7-day no-card trial.
A chat about your day, and only your day
Open it with Tab from the palette (it carries what you typed), with /ask or /braindump, or from the Ask AI row. Enter sends, Shift+Enter adds a line, and Esc stops a reply. Ask a question and you get a short plain answer from your real plan. Ask about anything else and it says “I can only help with your plan.” and changes nothing.
It reads your day before it plans
On a typed request the AI can look up your schedule up to seven days out, find your free slots, and read your Inbox. It also gets a short summary of your last 30 days: your most common repeating blocks, the weekdays they fall on, and when they usually start and end. So “fit the gym in this week” has your real week to work from.
Cards first, one undo
The moves come back as cards, and the plan previews on the ring while you read them. Edit a card, uncheck one you do not want, then apply. The whole batch lands behind a single undo.
Small edits, one line each
“Break writing into steps” gives that block 3 to 7 microtasks. Check, uncheck, rename or remove one step by its text, split a block in two at a time inside it, or change its name, end, area, type, kind or notes in place. On a repeating block, say this day, the whole series, or this day and later. If you do not say, it asks one question with the three options ready, and it does not guess.
Braindump takes everything at once
Type /braindump and dump the lot, one thought per line. A line with a time becomes a block on the day it names, a timeless to-do goes to your Inbox, a feeling logs as a mood, and a cadence like “25 on, 5 off” sets that block’s focus rhythm. When a line is ambiguous it asks, with the options already worked out, and you reply in plain words to refine the plan.
A photo of your paper list is a braindump
Attach up to 3 files to a message (JPEG, PNG, WebP or PDF), or paste or drop an image. In /braindump, a photo with no typed text is enough. Check What I read against your page, including dates and crossed-out lines, then edit the cards before applying the plan. Lines under an item can become that block’s microtasks. Handwriting can be misread, so the transcript and cards give you a chance to correct it.
Talk instead of typing
In the chat, press the mic or ⌃M (Control+M, on a Mac too). Tap to start and stop, or hold to talk until you let go, for up to 60 seconds a clip. The words land in the field at your cursor and never send themselves, so you read them first. On a phone, the mic turns the input into a full-width voice bar with Cancel, a live wave, a timer and Done.
Talk to your day from the dial
The voice icon sits in the centre of the dial (on a phone, just under it), and ⌃M works there too. Say “move the gym to 7 and add milk to shopping” and the change applies at once, with one Undo in the toast. Anything that deletes, clears, remembers, runs an app action, or needs an answer from you opens in the palette chat for review instead.
It remembers what you tell it
“I never take calls before 10” comes back as a remember card. Apply it and that line joins your saved AI preferences, so later plans respect it. Nothing is saved until you apply.
Look back by talking about the day
Talk about yesterday, or about how today went, and it switches to review. It marks blocks as planned, didn’t happen or changed, logs moments, and writes a day note into your reflection. “I did not do the run” marks the run as didn’t happen, never a delete. When every block has a mark, the same batch confirms the day, and Undo reverts it.
What it will not do
Ask AI can move, swap, delete, clear and send a block to your Inbox, so we will not pretend otherwise. Here are the real limits. It only runs when you send a message or finish a voice clip. In the palette, every plan arrives as cards you approve. Voice on the dial is the one exception: a plan made only of creates, edits and moves, shifts, splits, Inbox moves, microtask changes, moments, review marks and day notes applies at once, behind one Undo. A delete, a clear, a remembered preference, a question or an app action never applies from the dial: it opens in the palette for you to review. A braindump can never delete or clear anything: refused by the prompt and by the parser. Review mode records how a day went and never changes the plan. A name, end or notes edit on a calendar you do not own is refused. The app actions it can reach are the reversible ones, like jumping to another day or turning a layer on, never your settings and never connecting a calendar. One dump is capped at 2000 characters, 40 lines, 25 actions and 6 replies, and it tells you when it cut something off. Outside Ask AI, the Inbox quick-add and Chrome Inbox capture also apply at once, and they only add Inbox items.

Questions
- Is this a chatbot?
- It is a chat about your day, not a general assistant. Ask what fits before lunch or what is left on Friday and you get a short answer from your real plan. Ask about anything else and it replies “I can only help with your plan.” and changes nothing. For open-ended work with your day inside a full assistant, connect Claude over MCP.
- Can it wipe my day by accident?
- A braindump cannot delete or clear anything at all. Ask AI can, but in the palette nothing applies until you approve the cards. From the dial, a voice plan that deletes or clears never applies on its own: it opens in the palette for you to review.
- How does voice work?
- In the chat, press the mic or Control+M (on a Mac too) and talk for up to 60 seconds. The words land in the field and never send themselves. On the dial, the voice icon or the same key turns one spoken sentence into a plan: safe changes apply at once with one Undo, and deletes, clears, remembered preferences, questions back to you and app actions open in the palette for review. Your browser asks for microphone access the first time.
- Where do my voice clips and photos go?
- A voice clip goes through Vercel AI Gateway to OpenAI for transcription, with Google as the fallback if that fails. Reassign gets the text back and does not save the audio. A photo or PDF goes through the same gateway to Anthropic, with Google as the fallback, only when you send it with a message. Usage logs keep metadata such as file size and clip length, never the audio, the transcript, or what is in your files.
- Which files can I attach?
- Up to 3 per message: JPEG, PNG, WebP or PDF, 1.5 MB each and 3 MB in total. Photos are scaled to 1600 pixels first, and HEIC is converted where your browser can read it. A photo of a paper list with no typed text is a valid braindump. A date on the photo more than a day back or 60 days ahead is moved or dropped, and the plan tells you. Breaking a block into microtasks with /microtasks does not take files.
- Does it remember what I tell it?
- Only when you apply a remember card. Say “I never take calls before 10” and it offers one. Apply it and that line, up to 200 characters, joins your saved AI preferences. Until you apply, nothing is saved.
- What does it cost?
- Ask AI, braindump, voice and photos are Pro, at $14 a month or $120 a year. The 7-day Pro trial needs no card and includes all of them.
