Following the enthusiastic response to my first post on AI-assisted research with Perplexity AI, I'm excited to bring you the second gem in our series. Today, we're diving into the world of task and project management with a sprinkle of AI magic – meet Goblin MagicToDo!
Task & Project Planning with Goblin MagicToDo
I like to think of Goblin MagicToDo as my personal project and planning fairy godmother, with the ability to transform daunting tasks into small, manageable bits. It's a real-life time-saver and thought-starter, especially when you're at a loss on where to begin with a new task.
(You know those moments when you're assigned an improbably complex task, and all your boss will do to help you is to pat you on the back while mumbling, "I know you can do it") 😕
In the example in the image below, all I did was type my task, “develop a proposal for change management and transformation support for Generative AI adoption and implementation for a metals and mining trading company” and a wave of the wand later, Goblin has broken that herculean task into a series of sub-tasks. How cool is that? Read on though because that’s not the only thing Goblin can do 😉
Goblin’s Spicy Secret Sauce! 👺
1️⃣ Task wizardry: Instantaneously and effortlessly split overwhelming tasks into bite-sized sub-tasks.

3️⃣ "Spiciness" selector: Choose your task "spiciness", the level of sub-task detail you need, tailored just for you
4️⃣ Time estimation: Have Goblin automatically provide (a very good!) estimate of the time needed for each sub-task, making project planning a breeze
5️⃣ Convenience: Save your task list to a file, copy it to your clipboard or print it for future reference
