A messy brain-dump that never becomes actual organized tasks
“I talk out my whole week into my notes app as one giant rambling paragraph, then never untangle it into real to-dos. It just sits there as anxiety.”— Hacker News ↗
Todoist and Things assume you arrive with clean, atomic tasks; voice tools like Voiceliner capture the dump but leave it unstructured. The gap is the transformation: one anxious paragraph in, prioritized, deduped, dated action items out.
Overwhelmed people who think out loud
Build 'Brain-dump to To-dos' in Next.js. User pastes a rambling paragraph; an LLM returns a deduped, prioritized task list with inferred due dates and a one-line 'first action' for each. Render as a checkable list. First 3 steps: (1) a textarea + 'untangle' button, (2) a server action returning `{tasks: [{title, priority, due, firstAction}]}` via structured output, (3) the interactive checklist with localStorage. Stretch: a 'what should I do right now?' button that picks one.
