Todoist AI, Joute's review

• Available on all platforms (Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, Web)
• For professionals who want a reliable task manager with a touch of AI

What is Todoist AI?

Todoist is one of the oldest and most reliable task managers around. The AI layer added lets you automatically break a project into subtasks (e.g. "Launch my newsletter" becomes a 10-step plan), clarify vague tasks, and suggest realistic due dates. The AI stays out of the way: it augments without replacing Todoist's classic GTD workflow.

Strengths

Cleanest interface on the market

Todoist has been recognized for years for its clean design and polished interactions. Natural language task entry ("Call Dan tomorrow at 9am") has worked for ages.

AI project breakdown

The "AI decompose my project" feature is genuinely useful. Enter a vague goal and get a subtask plan back. Real time saver.

Complete ecosystem

Native integrations with Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Google Calendar. Todoist covers every OS and browser. Proven reliability over years.

Limits

Less advanced AI than Notion or Asana

Todoist's AI is more basic than what's built into Notion AI or ClickUp. It helps structure but doesn't generate content.

Price scales with team members

For teams, the per-user price adds up. Alternatives like TickTick or Things are cheaper for small teams.

Pricing

Free with limits, Pro at €5/month, Business at €8/month per user. Check todoist.com.

Alternatives

For a more structured AI planner: Sunsama at $20/month. For teams with advanced AI: Asana AI. For heavy project management: Taskade.

Verdict

Todoist remains one of the best individual task managers. The AI is useful without being the core of the product. If you want a reliable GTD system with light AI assistance, this is it.
