# Jimmy — an AI assistant for Todoist in Telegram

> Jimmy is an AI assistant in Telegram that works on top of your Todoist: it reads your tasks, marks them by the CALM method (Change · Area · Level · Mode) and every morning brings you the Day Focus — three tasks. The tasks stay in your own Todoist. Jimmy does not replace the task manager; it solves a different problem — not "where do I keep my tasks" but which of them to do today.

## What Jimmy does with your Todoist

| Reads | Writes — only once you say so |
| --- | --- |
| Active tasks, dates, priorities, labels, projects | Creates the tasks you dictated or typed in Telegram |
| What is overdue and what has been postponed | Sets the CALM marking with labels and priorities |
| The history of closed tasks | Moves dates at the evening Closing |

The last word is always yours: Jimmy proposes — you decide. Bulk changes never happen without confirmation.

## How the four axes map onto Todoist fields

The method asks for no new tools — the four coordinates map onto the native fields of Todoist:

| Axis | In Todoist |
| --- | --- |
| **Level** — how important it is that this task gets done | The native priority: P1 — Key · P2 — Important · P3 — Regular · no priority — the Freezer |
| **Change** — moves you forward or holds your position | Labels Grow / Stay |
| **Area** — work or life | Labels Work / Life |
| **Mode** — whose next move it is | Labels Do / Delegated / Waiting |

Your own labels and projects are left alone. The marking is done by Jimmy — what it needs from you is nods, not work.

## A day with Jimmy and Todoist

- **Morning.** Jimmy reads the list, marks what is new and brings the Day Focus — three tasks by the 2+1 rule. The next three are the Bonus.
- **During the day.** New tasks go in by text or by voice straight from Telegram — Jimmy puts them into Todoist already marked.
- **Evening.** The Closing: what is done, what carries over. Zero overdue by morning, right there in the tracker.

## What stays yours

- **The tasks.** They live in your Todoist account, not in a Jimmy database. Switch the assistant off and the list stays complete and marked.
- **The access.** The connection runs on a personal Todoist token that you can revoke at any time.
- **The data.** The analysis runs on the Claude API (Anthropic), and voice messages are transcribed by Whisper (OpenAI); the audio is not stored. The data is not used for model training. We store the minimum: settings and context. Privacy policy: https://heyjimmy.ai/privacy (in Russian)

## Frequently asked

- **Do I need a paid Todoist?** No. A free account is enough: the method needs priorities, labels and dates — all of them are in the free plan. No account yet? We will set one up together when you connect — it takes a couple of minutes.
- **I use Notion, Asana or plain notes. Will it work?** Right now Jimmy works on top of Todoist. Integrations with other systems are on the roadmap. Tell us which one you use — it affects the order.
- **Will Jimmy move my tasks into its own database?** No. Jimmy does not store your tasks and does not make you migrate — the list stays in Todoist. It solves a different problem: not "where do I keep my tasks" but which of them to do today.
- **What happens to my projects and labels?** Nothing. The project structure stays yours and your personal labels are untouched. The CALM marking is added on top — with the labels Grow/Stay, Work/Life, Do/Delegated/Waiting and the native priorities.
- **What if I mark a task wrong?** Marking is nods, not philosophy: the axes have defaults (Stay · Regular · Do) and a three-second rule. A mistake is easy to fix tomorrow, and the method does not break over one inaccurate label.
