Todoist's app now lets you add tasks to your to-do list by speaking to its AI | TechCrunch

"True to its name, Ramble can take your meandering, unstructured speech and turn it into organized tasks. The app will also capture other details you mention, like project deadlines, priorities, duration, and assignees. The idea is that people often think of things they need to do while on the go, but taking out their phone to jot down a note or create a reminder can be challenging."

"Ramble is built on large language models (LLMs) as part of a set of AI features that the company calls Todoist Assist, which runs on Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash Live model via Vertex AI for real‑time speech understanding. As the audio streams to the backend, the model transcribes your speech and identifies the tasks, dates, and other details you mention to generate your tasks. The audio isn't stored or used for AI training, and the app is SOC2 Type II certified, the company, Doist, says."
