🤖 Why Does AI Analyze Your Journal and Todo?
Our vision for the Todo & Journaling Chrome Extension has always gone beyond simply helping you jot down thoughts or check off tasks. With the help of AI, we aim to make your journaling more reflective, your TODOs more manageable, and your productivity more personalized — without ever compromising your data privacy.
Let’s break it down:
✅ AI for TODOs
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by a big, vague task? AI can help by:
- Breaking down large goals into smaller, actionable steps
- Helping you prioritize what’s important or urgent
This process is powered by general language models (like GPT), but no personal data (eg email) is shared with any third parties or even AI/GPT. While the Todos and Tasks remain local to your browser or they are securely (HTTPS) handled without sharing your identity for AI analysis. Even the response is HTTPS encapsulated.
✍️ AI for JOURNALS
Here’s where it gets even more interesting (and surprising to some users):
- As you write personal reflections, the AI detects actionable insights and suggests related todo items.
- These suggestions are clearly marked with “AI:” so you can distinguish them from your own entries.
- There is absolutely no human review or third-party involvement. The analysis is completely automated, unbiased, and happens without any third-party APIs.
We want your journal to be more than just a memory bank — we want it to help you move forward, grow, and act on your thoughts.
⚠️ Why It Might FEEL Startling
A recent update rolled out this Journal analysis retroactively — meaning, the AI took a look at older entries all at once and began suggesting TODOs based on past reflections. For users seeing this feature for the first time, it could absolutely feel as if something was reading your mind.
To be crystal clear:
We do not track your activity.
We do not access or analyze anything outside what you write in the plugin.
We do not use third-party AI services for journal analysis.
In fact, platforms like Google or Facebook collect significantly more data passively — via searches, clicks, and browsing behavior. In contrast, we only analyze the content you’ve voluntarily written in your Todo or Journal.
🛠️ What’s Next?
This AI journaling feature is computationally intensive, especially for long-time users with many Journal entries. As usage grows, we may introduce a credit system for heavy users who benefit from ongoing AI suggestions. But rest assured, basic usage will remain free — we want to make productivity and reflection accessible to everyone.
💬 Your Feedback Matters
This feedback helped us realize that we need to better communicate how AI works within the extension. We built this tool to delight, not startle. And we’re grateful for your trust as we continue to improve.
We invite you to experience this AI support with a fresh perspective:
- Think of it as a silent productivity partner.
- A personalized coach that turns thoughts into action.
- A way to reflect — and act — with clarity.
If you have questions or suggestions, please reach out. We’re building this with you, for you.
With care,
