Turn a rambling voice note into tasks and events
Talk through your week on a walk, and get back a tidy to-do list plus calendar events for anything with a date or time.
When to use it
Whenever your head is full
Step by step
Record your thoughts
Use your phone's voice recorder and just talk: what you need to do, who to call, deadlines, ideas. Many phones now transcribe recordings automatically (for example Voice Memos on recent iPhones or Recorder on Pixel).
Get the text into your assistant
Copy the transcript, or upload the audio file to an AI assistant that accepts audio. You can also speak directly using the assistant's voice mode.
Ask it to sort everything
Use this prompt.
Prompt to copyHere's a transcript of me thinking out loud: [paste]. Today is [day and date]. Sort it into: 1) Tasks, each starting with a verb, with a suggested due date if I mentioned one, grouped by Work, Home, Errands; 2) Calendar events with title, date, start time and length (only if I said a time or day); 3) Ideas to keep; 4) anything unclear I should decide. Don't add tasks I didn't mention.Add them to your apps
Add the events to Google Calendar and the tasks to your reminders app. If your assistant is connected to Google Calendar (Gemini can be), you can ask it to create the events for you, then check them.
What you get
Work: Send Lucy the revised quote (Tue). Home: Book boiler service. Errands: Return parcel to the post office. Events: Dentist, Thu 14 Nov 9:30, 45 mins. Ideas: Winter newsletter about energy saving. Unclear: 'sort the van' - service or clean?
Tips
- Don't record other people's conversations without their knowledge; this is for your own voice.
