News translated into practice
AI is rewriting the rules of productivity faster than anyone can read. What you get here is news translated into practice: what the new tool or feature does, what it means for your work and how to put it to use today. An automated routine collects the news — a human editor approves every single item.
Todoist's official MCP server lets ChatGPT read, create and edit your tasks and projects. A weekly review or an inbox triage becomes a single conversation.
