The AI built it, and my todos now sync across my devices

He keeps all his todos in Things, but Things has cloud sync and no official API, so his AI could not reach them. He told the AI to build it, and a minute or two later his todos were syncing from his LLM across all his Apple devices.

How it works

  1. Tells the AI to build the missing API for Things
  2. The AI builds it in a minute or two
  3. His todos now sync from his LLM across all his Apple devices

Why it’s worth knowing

Things never built an official API. He asked the AI to build one and his todos were syncing to his AI a minute or two later.
