Transform natural Gemini voice commands into structured Todoist tasks with automated priority setting and Apple Shortcuts for seamless task management across devices.

Workflow Steps

1

Google Assistant

Configure custom task phrases

Set up Google Assistant to recognize task-creation phrases using Gemini's improved natural language processing. Use phrases like 'remind me to check oven temperature at 6 PM' or 'add grocery shopping for ocean-colored plates to my list'.

2

IFTTT

Parse and route commands

Create IFTTT applet that captures Google Assistant text and intelligently routes task-related commands to Todoist. Set up text parsing to extract due dates, priority levels, and project categories from natural language.

3

Todoist

Create structured tasks

Configure Todoist to receive IFTTT inputs and automatically assign tasks to appropriate projects based on keywords. Set up filters and labels for smart home-related tasks, cooking reminders, and household maintenance items.

4

Apple Shortcuts

Cross-device task sync

Build an Apple Shortcut that polls Todoist for new tasks created via voice commands and creates corresponding iPhone/iPad reminders with location-based triggers when relevant (e.g., 'buy smart bulbs' triggers at hardware stores).
