# GTD Tools

GTD Tools is a built-in Skill that brings the classic GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology into your conversations. Once enabled, your Agent becomes a task management partner — helping you capture ideas, track progress, and focus on what matters. Manage your schedule directly through natural language: sudden inspiration, household chores, or serious work plans — your Agent records and tracks it all.

## Enabling GTD Tools

GTD Tools is a built-in Skill. Enable it for your Agent before use.

**From Agent Profile** — Go to the Agent Profile page, click **+ Add Skill**, and check **GTD Tools**.

**In a conversation** — Click the Skill icon below the chat input and check **GTD Tools**.

## Creating Tasks

Send your plans in the conversation — your Agent automatically recognizes and confirms the task. No forms, no extra steps.

**Examples:**

- "Add 'Review Q1 report' to my tasks for tomorrow"
- "I need to call the dentist this week"
- "Remind me to submit the proposal by Friday"
- "Put 'Finish the design mockup' on my list for next Monday"
- "I have a meeting with the client at 3pm — add it to my calendar"

## Completing and Updating Tasks

Update tasks through conversational commands. Your Agent handles the updates automatically.

**Examples:**

- "Mark 'Review Q1 report' as done"
- "What's on my task list for today?"
- "Reschedule the dentist call to next Monday"
- "Show me all my pending tasks"
- "Remove the proposal task — I already submitted it"

## Use Cases

**Capture on the fly** — An idea strikes during a meeting? Tell your Agent in one sentence. No need to switch apps or open a task manager.

**Weekly planning** — Start a conversation: "Here's what I need to do this week…" Your Agent structures it into a manageable list.

**Context switching** — Moving from one project to another? Ask "What did I leave unfinished on the marketing project?" and pick up where you left off.

**Collaboration prep** — Before a team sync, ask "What are my action items from last week?" and show up prepared.

| [Notebook](/docs/usage/agent/notebook)              | Saving notes, reports, research — documents linked to a Topic           |
| [Scheduled Tasks](/docs/usage/agent/scheduled-task) | Automated workflows — Agents run on a schedule without you              |

Use GTD for personal task management; use Scheduled Tasks when you want the Agent to execute something automatically at a set time.

## Tips

- **Be specific about timing** — "Tomorrow at 9am" or "by end of week" helps the Agent prioritize and remind you at the right moment.
- **Review regularly** — Ask "What's due this week?" at the start of each week to stay on top of commitments.
- **Combine with Notebook** — Save meeting notes to the Notebook, then ask your Agent to extract action items into GTD tasks.
