How to Connect Todoist to AI: Add, Reschedule and Complete Tasks by Asking

Todoist is great at capturing tasks. Connecting it to AI makes it great at answering questions about them, and lets you add a task the moment it comes up in a conversation, without switching apps.

This guide shows how to connect Todoist to Viro AI, the free AI assistant with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Viro’s own model in one app, and what you can do once it’s connected.

What you can do when Todoist is connected to AI

Read and catch up:

• Read your tasks, including due dates, and completed tasks when you ask

Make changes, with your OK:

• Add a task to your Inbox
• Change a task’s title, due date or notes
• Mark a task complete
• Delete a task

What it won’t do: manage projects, labels or filters. It works with the tasks themselves.

How to connect Todoist to AI, step by step

1. Open Viro AI at ai.viro.app, or in the iPhone, Android or Mac app, and sign in. It’s free.
2. Go to Customize → Connectors, open Todoist and select Connect to Viro.
3. Sign in to Todoist and approve access.
4. Check that it’s connected. Back in Viro, Todoist is listed under Yours.

What to ask Todoist once it’s connected

Once it’s connected, just ask in any chat. Use your own names and dates.

Planning

• “What’s overdue?”
• “What do I have due this week, sorted by date?”

Capturing

• “Add ‘water the plants’ for tomorrow.”
• “Add the three follow-ups from that meeting as tasks for Friday.”

Finishing

• “Mark ‘submit report’ as done.”
• “Push everything due today to Monday.”

Across your apps

Viro reads all your connected to-do apps together, so “what’s due today?” covers Todoist, TickTick, Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do and Asana at once. When you add a task and more than one is connected, Viro asks where to put it.

Does the AI change Todoist without asking?

No. Before Viro adds, changes, completes or deletes a task, it shows a card marked Needs your OK. Nothing changes until you select the card’s button, such as Add task or Mark done, and you can Edit the title, date or notes first. A deleted task can’t be brought back, so read that card carefully.

Is it private?

Viro reads your Todoist data only to answer what you ask. It is never used to train AI models and Viro never sells your data. Free-plan ads are matched to words in the current conversation, never to your identity or your connected apps, and no human reads your chats.

To disconnect, open Todoist in Customize → Connectors and select Disconnect, and remove Viro from the integrations in your Todoist settings.
