The AI keeps my to-do list and reminds me on Telegram

He runs AI on his own server with Ollama, so it stays private. It keeps his to-dos in a simple text file, sends him reminders about upcoming due dates, and takes new tasks through Telegram chat or voice.

How it works

  1. The AI runs on his own server with Ollama as the backend
  2. It keeps his tasks organized in a text file
  3. He adds tasks and asks for an overview in Telegram, including by voice
  4. It sends reminders about upcoming due dates

Why it’s worth knowing

A plain text file and a chat app beat every to-do app he had tried, because the assistant does the keeping track for him.
