Any.do has long been one of the most popular apps for to-do list nuts, a simple and clean way to dump all the day’s tasks into one place
Omer Perchik, Any.do’s CEO, and his team have been working on a new feature for the better part of the company’s six-year lifespan that he believes will redefine the whole idea of a to-do list. The internal codename for the project: Done.
Perchik has watched as the 15 million-plus users of his Any.do app collectively added more than a billion items to their to-do lists. He’s learned that there are really two types of tasks: things you have to do yourself, like call your mom or brush your teeth or watch San Andreas, and things that just have to get done.
sometimes you need a human touch, but you don’t necessarily have to do those things yourself, right? That’s the idea behind Any.do 4.0, which is out today for iOS and coming soon to the company’s other platforms. It’s a to-do list that does itself.
The beauty of the system, Perchik tells me, is that you’ll still use Any.do like a standard to-do list. Only now, whenever the service’s algorithms deem a task “actionable,” a dot pops up next to it. Tap the dot, and you’re taking into a conversation with the Any.do Assistant, a chatbot that can help you do what you need. If you’re shopping for a TV, it’ll quickly ask your budget, desired size, and more, and then go find options for you. You can buy from right within the app, with Any.do charging a service fee Perchik says ranges from 5 to 15 percent.
