AI-Enhanced Todo List with Next.js +n8n

The Business Problem

Standard to-do lists help us remember what to do, but they often fail to address how to do it. Users jot down vague tasks like "Plan vacation" or "Prepare presentation," which leads to procrastination and mental friction because the initial step isn't clear. The process of manually breaking down these larger goals into small, actionable steps is time-consuming and often neglected, rendering the to-do list ineffective and overwhelming.

My Solution & The Deliverable

I developed a full-stack, AI-Enhanced Todo List application that transforms task management. Instead of just storing tasks, this solution uses the OpenAI API to automatically enrich every entry with a clearer description and a concrete, step-by-step action plan. This turns ambiguous ideas into an executable strategy, bridging the gap between intention and action.

The deliverable is a live, production-ready application featuring two distinct interfaces: a primary web UI for detailed management and a chatbot interface (powered by n8n) for quick, command-based interactions. The entire system is built on a modern tech stack and is deployed for public use.

Quantifiable Results & Impact

• Reduces Procrastination: By automatically generating a clear, step-by-step plan for every task, the application eliminates the initial friction of starting a new item.

• Automates Task Planning: Automates the manual cognitive load of breaking down complex goals, allowing users to focus on execution rather than planning.

• Enhances Productivity: Provides two flexible interfaces (Web & Chatbot) to fit different user workflows, ensuring tasks can be managed efficiently from anywhere.
