Goblin Tools offers a suite of tools that support executive function, such as a time estimator, a recipe maker, and a compiling tool that turns notes into actionable lists. These tools are powered by a combination of open and closed-source AI technologies.
Most noteworthy among its suite of tools is its Goblin Tool's AI-powered Magic To Do tool. You can input a task, choose how much you would like the task to be broken down into steps by, and it will generate a list of actionable steps for you.
Its time estimator is implemented into this tool, so there is an option to get an estimate of how long each task will take. There is also an option to break down task down into further subtasks.
Below is an example of how we used the tool to help us plan, breakdown tasks, and estimate time needed for each task.

1) Think of a task you are having trouble initiating. If you can't think about any, our suggestion is to use Assignment 3 as that task.
2) Go to Goblin Tool's Magic To-Do, input that task, and choose your level of task breakdown.
3) Get started with the to-do list created. Note: you don't necessarily have to finish, just get started on it.
