Tasks

Say what needs doing. Ask any AI what's next.

A task is something you need to do, with a due date if it has one. Tell any AI you've connected, and it saves the task to Penny. Ask what's on today from any app, and check things off by saying so.

Examples

What a to-do list looks like

Tasks come from every part of life. Your AI saves each one with its due date, and a repeating task comes back each time you check it off. A few lists:

Home

  • Renew the car registrationOct 15
  • Call the plumber backTue
  • Pay the water billOct 1
  • Pick up the dry cleaningThu
  • Return the library booksFri

Work

  • Review the vendor contractOct 8
  • Book a room for the offsiteOct 12
  • Post the weekly updateEvery Mon

Family

  • Sign Ella's field trip formTue
  • Schedule Marcus's dental cleaningOct 20
  • Order flowers for Mom's birthdayOct 9
  • Water the gardenEvery Sun

One list, from any app

Saving

One message becomes a list

Tell your AI what you need to do the way you'd tell a person, even a whole plan in one message. It saves each task to Penny with its own due date. When something else comes up, one more line adds it.

Animation in Claude: Marco sends his field trip plan in one message, and four Task added cards appear, one per task, before Claude lists the four due dates.
Animation: tasks saved in Claude on Sunday night, then on Tuesday morning in ChatGPT, Marco asks what's on his plate and a Today card lists two open tasks.
Today

Ask what's on today, anywhere

Your tasks live in Penny, not in one chatbot. Make the list in Claude on Sunday, ask ChatGPT what's on your plate on Tuesday, and you get the same list, with just what's due today.

Done and moved

Check things off by saying so

Say a task is done and your AI checks it off. Say something needs more time and it moves the date. You don't have to find the task or open another app.

Animation in ChatGPT: Marco says the slips went home and the museum email needs more time, and two Task updated cards mark one done and move the other.
Animation in Claude: Marco asks to post the week's grades every Friday at 3, a Task added card appears, and Claude confirms it repeats every Friday.
Repeating

Set a repeating task once

Say how often it comes back: every Friday at 3, the first of the month, every morning. The task repeats on that schedule, and the next one is set when you check this one off.

Other connectors

Tasks work with your calendar

If your AI is also connected to a calendar, ask it to put the important dates there too. The calendar gets the events, and the tasks stay in Penny, where any connected AI can check them off.

Animation in Claude: Marco asks for the trip and the permission slip deadline on his calendar, Claude creates two Google Calendar events, and says the tasks stay in Penny.
Your dashboard

Every task is in your dashboard

Chat is where you'll manage tasks most, but your dashboard shows the same list, sorted into Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Anytime, and Someday. Open any task to change its title, notes, dates, or repeat, or to file it under an area or a project.

Animation of the Penny dashboard's Tasks page: the Upcoming list, then the repeating grades task opens to show Repeat: Weekly, Friday at 15:00.

Things to try saying

These work in any AI you've connected to Penny, whatever you use it for.

"Add that to my to-do list."

Saves a task from whatever you were just talking about.

"Turn this into tasks."

Breaks a plan, an email, or a pasted list into separate tasks, each with its own date.

"What's on my plate today?"

Lists what's due today, from any app you've connected.

"What's coming up this week?"

Shows your upcoming tasks in date order.

"That one's done."

Checks the task off.

"Move it to Friday."

Changes the due date instead of adding a second task.

"Add a task to water the plants every Sunday."

Sets a repeating task once. The next one comes back when you check this one off.

"What's overdue?"

Finds tasks past their due date, so you can do them, move them, or drop them.

"Put those dates on my calendar too."

Adds events through your calendar connector, if your AI has one. The tasks stay in Penny.

Questions about tasks

Will ChatGPT and Claude see the same tasks?

Yes. Your tasks live in your Penny account, not inside any one AI. Every app you connect reads from and saves to the same list, so a task you add in Claude is there when you ask ChatGPT what's due.

How do repeating tasks work?

Tell your AI how often a task comes back, like every Friday at 3. It can repeat daily, weekly, or monthly at the time you set. The next one is scheduled when you check off the current one.

Can I see and edit my tasks outside of chat?

Yes. Your dashboard shows every open task in Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Anytime, and Someday. Open one to change its title, notes, dates, repeat, or project.

What's the difference between a task and a project?

A task is one thing to do. A project holds the tasks that belong to a bigger goal, along with the notes, trackers, and skills that go with it. A task can stand on its own or live inside a project.

Does it work with my calendar?

Penny keeps your tasks. If your AI also has a calendar connector, like Google Calendar in Claude, it can put dates on your calendar when you ask. The tasks themselves stay in Penny.

Who can see my tasks?

Your tasks are encrypted with AES-256-GCM in storage and in transit, like everything in Penny. We don't train on your data, and we only use AI providers that don't train on it either. Every time Penny's service decrypts your memory, it's on record in your dashboard and sealed into a public, tamper-evident log.
