There were four tabs at the bottom of the homescreen for a to-do list, daily tasks, a &#8220;focus&#8221; tab, and a weekly summary.<\/p>\n<p>Floating around in the bottom corner was an icon that I could click to <a target=\"_self\" class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/meta-ai-assistant-helps-employees-performance-reviews-2025-11\" data-track-click=\"{&quot;element_name&quot;:&quot;body_link&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;tout_click&quot;,&quot;index&quot;:&quot;bi_value_unassigned&quot;,&quot;product_field&quot;:&quot;bi_value_unassigned&quot;}\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">chat with an AI assistant.<\/a> The daily task section was broken down into morning, day, evening, and tasks that could be performed at any time.<\/p>\n<p>I used the AI assistant to plan my schedule<\/p>\n<p>              <img xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"lazy-image \" encoding=\"UTF-8\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" data-content-type=\"image\/jpeg\" srcs=\"{&quot;https:\/\/i.insider.com\/6931ef6871107c9f34575e11&quot;:{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;,&quot;aspectRatioW&quot;:1433,&quot;aspectRatioH&quot;:1075}}\" alt=\"Composite image of Tiimo screenshots\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                      The chatbot was conversational and helpful.<\/p>\n<p>              Tiimo<\/p>\n<p>The Tiimo chatbot worked similarly to others I&#8217;ve used. There were prompts I could choose from to create tasks and to-do items.<\/p>\n<p>I started with a straightforward prompt to plan my week. The feature worked smoothly except for one error message that required me to submit my first query twice.<\/p>\n<p>It understood my requests well and created entries that fit what I was looking for.<\/p>\n<p>I tested it out with some of my daily tasks<\/p>\n<p>              <img xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"lazy-image \" encoding=\"UTF-8\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" data-content-type=\"image\/jpeg\" srcs=\"{&quot;https:\/\/i.insider.com\/6931f1b67ecd1d1da662f5ce&quot;:{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;,&quot;aspectRatioW&quot;:1415,&quot;aspectRatioH&quot;:1062}}\" alt=\"Composite image of Tiimo app\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                      The chatbot was smart and successfully addressed my prompts.<\/p>\n<p>              Tiimo<\/p>\n<p>I like to go with the flow, so I don&#8217;t typically structure my day around the tasks I need to complete. However, I thought it&#8217;d be convenient to have a reminder for some of my daily must-do items.<\/p>\n<p>I started by setting up my agenda, which included tasks such as walking my two dogs twice a day and taking my medication. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the chatbot handled setting up tasks based on my prompts.<\/p>\n<p>I really liked how it automatically matched themed emojis to my to-do list.<\/p>\n<p>I used the to-do section for things that I don&#8217;t have to do every day<\/p>\n<p>              <img xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"lazy-image \" encoding=\"UTF-8\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" data-content-type=\"image\/png\" srcs=\"{&quot;https:\/\/i.insider.com\/693302cc71107c9f34576acc&quot;:{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image\/png&quot;,&quot;aspectRatioW&quot;:1290,&quot;aspectRatioH&quot;:968}}\" alt=\"Tiimo to-do list\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                      I used the to-do list for tasks that aren&#8217;t daily for me.<\/p>\n<p>              Tiimo<\/p>\n<p>I had a few household chores to get done on Thursday, so I recorded them in the to-do section instead of under my daily tasks. I wanted to hold myself accountable for doing the dishes, going to the store, and making my bed. I admittedly don&#8217;t make my bed every day, so I marked it as a low-priority item.<\/p>\n<p>I entered those manually instead of using the AI assistant, and the app still generated emojis to go with each item. I was also able to make my own emoji choices if I wanted to modify them.<\/p>\n<p>Then it was time to cross chores off my list<\/p>\n<p>              <img xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"lazy-image \" encoding=\"UTF-8\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" data-content-type=\"image\/jpeg\" srcs=\"{&quot;https:\/\/i.insider.com\/6933057c7ecd1d1da66302ab&quot;:{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;,&quot;aspectRatioW&quot;:1440,&quot;aspectRatioH&quot;:1080}}\" alt=\"composite image of Tiimo and lock screen\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                      There are reminders and timers to keep you on top of your agenda.<\/p>\n<p>              Tiimo<\/p>\n<p>I got a reminder right at 6 o&#8217;clock to walk my dogs after work, and it started a 30-minute focus timer. The app gave me the option to listen to background music while I walked them. I finished our walk early and ended the timer.<\/p>\n<p>My dogs won&#8217;t let me forget to take them out, but I often find myself forgetting to take my medication during the day. Having that reminder on my iPhone lockscreen is really helpful.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I found Tiimo super helpful for organizing my day as someone who doesn&#8217;t use written to-do lists and relies on my own brain to keep track of everything that needs to be done. It was nice to dump things into an AI chat and have a virtual assistant send me reminders, incentivizing me to mark things off my daily list. Consistency is hard for me, but I would keep using Tiimo to help change that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple&#8217;s app of the year suggests the tech giant was all about helping iPhone users get organized in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":335174,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[3796,182,11357,517,181,507,169306,169303,275,169305,7474,3590,132057,26192,54848,74,169302,169304,2394],"class_list":["post-335173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-adhd","tag-ai","tag-app","tag-apple","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-daily-life","tag-daily-task","tag-day","tag-design-award","tag-dog","tag-people","tag-prompt","tag-reminder","tag-task","tag-technology","tag-tiimo","tag-to-do-list","tag-year"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
