Conversation

GDT understands natural language. There's no syntax to learn—just describe what you want, and GDT figures out the rest.

Creating Tasks

Say what you need to do in whatever way feels natural:

Remind me to email the boss tomorrow
Add task: finish the report by Friday
New task: fix the login bug, high priority
Schedule meeting with design team for Wednesday 3pm

GDT extracts the key information—description, due date, priority—and creates the task.

Querying Tasks

Ask about your tasks the same way you'd ask a colleague:

What do I have today?
Show high priority tasks
What's due this week?
Tasks for Project Alpha
What can I do @office?

GDT understands context keywords like project names and location tags.

Modifying Tasks

Reference tasks by ID or description:

Set task 3 to high priority
Postpone task 5 to next Monday
Add tag "work" to task 7
Change task 10 description to: update documentation

Completing Tasks

Task 7 is done
Mark "buy coffee" as completed
Finished today's code review

Context Awareness

GDT remembers what you're talking about, so conversations flow naturally:

You: Add task: prepare meeting materials

GDT: Task created: prepare meeting materials (ID: 12)

You: Set it to high priority

GDT: Updated task 12 priority to high

You: Add a due date, tomorrow 3pm

GDT: Set task 12 due date to tomorrow 15:00

You: Break it down for me

GDT: 📋 Task Decomposition: Prepare Meeting Materials
     1. Collect topics and discussion points (20 min)
     2. Prepare presentation slides (1 hour)
     3. Gather relevant data (30 min)
     ...

"It," "this task," and similar references automatically resolve to the task you're discussing.

Getting Suggestions

When you're overwhelmed, GDT can help prioritize:

You: I have too many tasks and don't know where to start

GDT: Let me analyze your task list. Here's my suggestion:

     🔴 Urgent & Important (Do immediately)
     - Project proposal (due tomorrow)

     🟠 Important but not urgent (Schedule time)
     - Code review
     - Weekly report

     🟡 Urgent but not important (Consider delegating)
     - Reply to emails

     ⚪ Neither urgent nor important (Can postpone)
     - Organize bookmarks

     I suggest starting with "Project proposal"—it's the most
     critical task today. Would you like me to help plan time blocks?

Time Planning

You: Help me plan this afternoon's work

GDT: Based on your tasks and preferences:

     14:00 - 15:30 | Project proposal (needs focus)
     15:30 - 15:45 | Break
     15:45 - 16:30 | Code review
     16:30 - 17:00 | Reply to emails and messages
     17:00 - 17:30 | Organize notes, prepare for tomorrow

     This puts the most focus-intensive task during peak energy hours.
     Would you like to adjust?

Clarification

When information is incomplete, GDT asks follow-up questions:

You: Break down my paper writing task

GDT: To give a more accurate breakdown, I need some information:

     1. What type of paper? (academic, technical report, blog post)
     2. Approximate word count or page requirement?
     3. When is the deadline?
     4. Have you completed any parts already?

You: Thesis, about 30,000 words, due end of next month, proposal done

GDT: Got it. Based on your situation, let me break this down...

Tips for Better Results

Provide context. More details lead to more useful responses.

❌ Add task: meeting
✅ Add task: Friday 3pm meeting with design team to discuss new UI

Be specific about what you want.

❌ This task is important
✅ Set task 5 to high priority, change due date to tomorrow

Use follow-ups to refine responses.

GDT: [provides task breakdown]

You: Can you make step 3 more detailed?
You: Time estimates seem short, consider I'm a beginner
You: Add risk assessment
