AI to-do list that reminds you, even in Hinglish

Yes: an AI to-do list lets you type a reminder the way you would say it, such as "kal 5 baje mummy ko call" or "every Monday 9am gym", and turns it into a task with the right date, time and repeat, then reminds you when it is due. In KutrimBots, the Tasks & Reminders plugin reads English and Hinglish, sorts each task into Today, Upcoming or your own lists, and has one of your agents message you at the time, with a card you can tap to mark it done or snooze it. A morning plan lists the day's tasks, at 8 AM by default, so a forgotten call shows up before it is too late.

This guide covers why calls slip, how typing-like-you-talk works, how reminders reach you, setup, a sample week and what the tool can't do.

Why do I keep forgetting calls and small tasks?

Because remembering to do something later is the memory skill that fails most often in daily life, and it fails more when the plan lives only in your head.

• It's the most common slip. In a 2020 diary study in PLOS ONE, 152 adults logged 1,319 everyday memory failures over 7 days; 838 of them (64%) were prospective memory failures, such as forgetting to call, pay or pick something up at the right moment.
• A specific plan helps. Gollwitzer and Sheeran's 2006 review of 94 tests of "if-then" plans found a medium-to-large effect on reaching goals (d = 0.65) when people fixed when and where they would act.
• Writing it down quiets the nagging. Masicampo and Baumeister (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2011) found that making a specific plan for an unfinished task reduced the intrusive thoughts it caused.
• A nudge at the right time works. A Cochrane review of 7 trials with 5,841 people found text reminders raised attendance at health appointments (risk ratio 1.14, roughly 14% higher attendance).

So a good reminder system does three things: captures a task in seconds, pins it to a time, and nudges you at that time. Most of us do only the first: a note to self, a paper list or a sticky note.

What is an AI to-do list that reminds you?

It is a to-do list where you type one sentence and the AI works out the task, the date, the time, the repeat and the list, then sends you a reminder when it is due.

Here is how it compares with the tools most people already use:

Can I type reminders in Hinglish, the way I talk?

Yes. You write one line in English, Hinglish or a mix, and the plugin reads dates, times, repeats, lists, tags and priority from it. Several things in one message become several tasks.

A few rules make it predictable:

• "5 baje" with no part of the day is read as evening for 1 to 7 and morning for 8 to 11.
• "subah", "dopahar", "shaam" and "raat" set the part of the day; on their own they mean 9 AM, 2 PM, 6 PM and 9 PM.
• "every!" or "after" counts the next date from when you finish, not from the calendar.
• "#list" and "@tag" file the task; "#home" finds your Home list even if you type it in lower case.
• "p1", "!1", "urgent" or "zaroori" mark it high priority; "someday" or "kabhi bhi" parks it for later.

The agent confirms each task in one short line with the exact day and time, so if it reads something wrong you see it at once and can change it.

How do the reminders actually reach me?

At the due time, two things happen: a card appears in Needs you, and the agent you chose for reminders sends you a short message where you usually chat with it.

• The card has four buttons: Done, Snooze 15 min, Snooze 1 hour and Tomorrow. If you've allowed notifications, it also pops up on your phone or desktop, even when KutrimBots is closed.
• The message arrives in the KutrimBots app on the web or your phone, or in Telegram, Slack, Discord or email if that is where you talk to the agent. Reply "done", "later" or "remind me in an hour" and it updates the task.
• Timing: a timed task reminds you at its time unless you set a default lead time in settings or say "remind me 30 min before". A task with only a date and a reminder pings you at your morning plan time.
• Morning plan: at 8 AM by default you get the day's tasks, anything overdue, the habits due and how many calendar events you have, with an offer to move overdue tasks to today.
• Evening wrap-up: an optional 9 PM note of what is still open (off until you turn it on).
• Quiet hours: from 10:30 PM to 7 AM by default, habit nudges and new conversations wait. A reminder you set yourself still arrives.

Because the agent runs in the cloud, reminders arrive with your laptop shut. What an always-on AI agent is explains why that matters, and AI agents vs chatbots covers why an agent can start the conversation when a chatbot can't.

What else does it keep track of?

Besides one-off tasks, Tasks & Reminders keeps the small routines that usually live on sticky notes.

• Habits with streaks: "drink 8 glasses of water daily" sets a target of 8; "gym 3 times a week" counts weekly. Tell the agent you did it and it mentions your streak.
• Focus timer: a Pomodoro timer for one task, 25 minutes of focus and a 5-minute break by default, with 15, 25, 45 and 60-minute options.
• Checklists inside a task, such as a packing list for a trip.
• Views: Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Anytime, Someday, Habits and a Logbook of what you finished, plus your own lists and tags.
• Calendar link: timed tasks appear on a Tasks calendar in KutrimBots Calendars. Move one there and the task moves too. You can subscribe to that calendar from Google, Apple or Outlook with a private .ics link.
• Weekly review: ask "how did my week go?" and the agent lists what you finished, what is overdue and three priorities for next week.

How do I set up an AI reminder app in KutrimBots?

It takes about 10 minutes, and the first task is the best test.

1. Hire an assistant agent. Agents with the Assistant, Personal assistant, Chief of staff, Executive assistant or Coach role get Tasks & Reminders automatically. If you're new, how to set up your first AI team walks through it.
2. Open Tasks & Reminders settings. Pick which agent delivers your reminders (otherwise it's the first agent with the plugin), check your timezone, and set the morning plan time, the evening wrap-up and quiet hours.
3. Choose a default lead time. Leave it at 0 to be reminded at the task's time, or set 10 or 15 minutes for calls.
4. Allow notifications on your phone, so Needs you cards reach you when the app is closed.
5. Pick your chat app. Talk to the agent in the KutrimBots app, or ask it to connect Telegram, Slack or Discord; you paste the bot details into a secure form the agent never sees.
6. Brain-dump. Type everything on your mind in one message, one task per line. Check the confirmations.
7. Subscribe the calendar from Google, Apple or Outlook if you want tasks beside your meetings.

Example scenario

Example scenario: a boutique owner in Jaipur with two staff, who used to keep reminders as notes to herself.

• Sunday, 9:40 PM: she types 7 lines in one message: "kal 11 baje CA ko call", "Friday supplier payment ₹18,500 p1", "har mahine 5 tarikh bijli bill", "every Mon 10am stock check #shop", "parso Riya ka salary advance ₹3,000", "dentist Thursday 6pm remind me 1 hour before", "gym 3 times a week". Six tasks and one habit appear in about a minute.
• Monday, 8:00 AM: the morning plan arrives: 2 tasks today (10:00 AM stock check, 11:00 AM CA call) and the gym habit.
• Monday, 11:00 AM: a notification and a Telegram message: "11:00 AM Call CA." She taps Snooze 15 min, calls at 11:15 and replies "done".
• Thursday, 5:00 PM: the dentist reminder lands an hour early, as she asked.
• Friday, 9:00 AM: the ₹18,500 supplier payment sits at the top of the plan, marked high priority. She pays it herself; the agent only reminds.
• End of week: she added 6 more tasks during the week; the weekly review shows 11 of 13 done, 2 carried to Monday, and gym ticked off 3 times.

The time cost was one typed line per task, roughly 10 seconds each, instead of setting alarms one by one.

What can't an AI to-do list do?

It is a personal reminder system, and a few things sit outside it.

• It's personal, not a team board. The agent never assigns tasks to other people or agents. For customer follow-ups, a CRM with its own reminders is the better tool.
• It reminds; it doesn't act. It won't make the call or pay the bill for you.
• No time, no ping. A task with no date stays in Inbox, Anytime or Someday and won't remind you until you give it one.
• Unusual phrasing can be misread. It handles common English and Hinglish in Roman letters; always glance at the one-line confirmation.
• It is not a medical tool. For medicines, follow your doctor's schedule and use a reminder method they trust.
• You still have to look. If notifications are off and you never open the chat, a reminder can pass unseen.

How much does it cost?

Tasks & Reminders is built into every KutrimBots plan at no extra cost, along with Calendars and the other built-in plugins. Plans start at $20 a month for Solo (up to 5 agents and $10 of AI usage), as of November 2026. There is a free 7-day trial: you add a card or UPI, nothing is charged today, and it becomes Solo unless you cancel. See plans and the free trial.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free AI to-do list app?

KutrimBots has no free plan, but its to-do list and reminders come free inside every plan, and Solo starts with a free 7-day trial. After that it costs $20 a month for up to 5 agents.

Can an AI remind me to call someone at a set time?

Yes. Type "kal 5 baje Ravi ko call" and you get a 5:00 PM task for tomorrow; at 5 PM a card and a message remind you, and you can mark it done or snooze it.

Can I get reminders on Telegram, Slack or email?

Yes. The reminder agent messages you where you usually talk to it: the KutrimBots app, Telegram, Slack, Discord or email. A Needs you card and a phone notification come with each reminder.

Does it work with Google Calendar?

Timed tasks appear on a Tasks calendar in KutrimBots Calendars, and you can subscribe to that calendar from Google, Apple or Outlook with a private .ics link, so tasks show beside your other events.

Is an AI to-do list good for ADHD?

It is a general productivity tool, not a treatment. Quick capture and a nudge at the right moment help many people with time-based tasks; for ADHD itself, talk to a qualified professional.
