The Problem with Traditional Task Apps

You have a quick thought: "I need to call the doctor tomorrow about my health checkupβ€”this is important!"

In most task apps, capturing this simple thought requires:

Traditional Task Entry: 8 Steps

  1. Open the app
  2. Click "New Task" button
  3. Type task title: "Call doctor"
  4. Click date picker
  5. Select tomorrow's date
  6. Click category dropdown
  7. Select "Health"
  8. Click priority dropdown, select "High"
  9. Finally hit "Save"

Result: You gave up halfway and forgot to add it. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

By the time you've navigated through all those menus, you've forgotten what else you needed to add. This is why task apps fail.

Introducing Prospersuit's Quick Add

With Prospersuit's natural language processing, capturing that same task is literally one step:

πŸ“… Due:Tomorrow

⚠️ Priority:High (!!)

Result: Task created in 3 seconds. You're in flow. ⚑

Just type naturally, like you're sending a text message to a friend. Prospersuit's AI understands what you mean and structures everything automatically.
