Our take
Your team. Your agents. Your company moving forward. TODO for AI brings the board, company brain, brand voice and connected tools together. From invoices to website updates, direct the work and review the results in one place.

Keep the tools your team already knows. Connect your browser and machines, then put business and engineering work on the same board. Each agent gets the company context, model and tools its job needs.

Explain the business once. Keep its voice across emails, reports and posts. Agents can also propose new tasks from your business context for you to accept or dismiss; suggestions are still early.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this table maintained?
Names and logos come from the same data as every /vs page; the cells are judged by hand against vendor documentation, last verified 2026-09-30. When a vendor fills a hole, the cell changes. Several already did: Notion agents pick their own model, Cursor and Copilot are multi-vendor, Cowork works on local folders.
What counts as proposing the work?
Putting new items on the list that nobody asked for, based on what it learned about your business, which you then accept or dismiss. Running a rule you configured does not count, and neither does a morning summary of work that already exists. TODO for AI reads your website on day one, proposes items, and the ones you dismiss are fed into the next round so it stops suggesting them.
What counts as a shared board?
A place where a person and an agent hold the same item, with state the whole team can see, and a record of who and what worked on it. A private task list inside a chat product does not count, and neither does a project whose tasks are shared one at a time.
What counts as a shell you own?
A command line on a machine you control: your laptop, your server, or a VM assigned to your account that keeps state between runs. A vendor sandbox that resets per task does not count.
Can I use TODO for AI alongside these tools?
Most people do. Keep Linear for engineering issues, Notion for knowledge, Cursor for typing, and put the work that needs a machine, a browser session or someone to think of it in the first place on a TODO list.
