Using AI

Unleash dypt's intelligent AI to kickstart your tasks and spark creativity

You can use dypt's AI features to help you get started with a task. You can use it to:

• break down a task into subtasks
• generate ideas for a topic
• create a shopping list
• create a packing list
• add tasks by interpreting an image
• generate estimates of how long tasks will take

AI Intelligence level

dypt offers two levels of AI intelligence:

• Basic - This is the default level of intelligence. It is fast and works well for most tasks.
• Advanced - This is a more advanced level of intelligence. It is slower than the basic level, but typically provides more intelligent and insightful results.

The free dypt starter plan includes 25 basic and 5 advanced AI credits per month. The Pro plan includes 100 basic and 50 advanced AI credits per month. The VIP plan includes 300 basic and 150 advanced AI credits per month.

You can switch between basic and advanced AI on a task by task basis. This allows you to get the best of both worlds, and use the AI that's most appropriate for the task at hand. You can also change the default intelligence level in your general settings.

You can view your AI credit usage in your subscription settings. Usage is tracked seperately for basic and advanced AI and resets each month inline with the monthly anniversary of your subscription.

If you run out of AI credits, you can upgrade to a premium plan to get more. Alternatively, you can wait until the next month when your usage will reset.

Accessing dypt's AI features

You can access the AI features in three ways:

1. From the "Add Task" input

Press the infinity logo to add a task and immediately start breaking it down with AI.

Alternatively, press "CTRL + SHIFT + Enter" to add a task with AI.

2. From a subtasks menu

Select the AI option you want to use and apply it to the selected subtask.

3. From the task page

Select the AI option you want to use and apply it to the current page's task.

Types of AI break down

Automatically break down a task into subtasks

This will suggest smaller subtasks that will help you achieve your task.

From the AI menu, select "Suggest subtasks". Alternatively, press the "g" key with a task selected.

Automatically generate ideas for a topic

This will suggest ideas for a given topic rather than next steps. For example, "types of cake I could bake" will generate a list of a different cake varieties.

From the AI menu, select "Suggest ideas". Alternatively, press the "i" key with a task selected.

Automatically create a shopping list

This feature works best when the task is a shopping related statement or question, e.g. "Get shopping for BBQ" or "What do I need for a BBQ?". If dypt detects that the task might not be shopping related, it will warn you before continuing.

From the AI menu, select "Shopping list". Alternatively, press the "s" key with a task selected.

Automatically create a packing list

This feature works best when the task is a packing related statement or question, e.g. "Pack for skiing holiday" or "What do I need for a skiing holiday?". If dypt detects that the task might not be packing related, it will warn you before continuing.

From the AI menu, select "Packing list". Alternatively, press the "p" key with a task selected.

Create tasks from an image

This feature allows you to create tasks from an image. You provide:

• an image featuring something you want to create tasks from
• a title for the task
• a prompt telling the AI how you wish to interpret the image

It works with many different approaches, for example:

• Create tasks from handwritten notes
• Create tasks from a whiteboard
• Create tasks from a photo of a mind map
• Create tasks from a screenshot of a document
• Create tasks from a photo of a book
• Create tasks from a photo of a recipe
• Create a step by step guide how to fix a broken object
• Suggest potential recipes from a photo of ingredients in your fridge

From the AI menu, select "Tasks from an image", then:

1. Upload the image you want to create tasks from, you can upload from your computer, mobile or take a photo
2. Provide a prompt telling the AI how you wish to interpret the image. The AI will use the title of the task itself, and parent task titles for context and the prompt to understand what you want to achieve. For example, if you want to create tasks from a whiteboard photo, enter the prompt "Create task for each of the points on the whiteboard"

Automatically generate time estimates for your tasks

This will make a guess at how long your subtasks will take to complete. It is based on the task title and the titles of any parent tasks. It is a rough estimate and should be used as a guide only, but we hope it will help you plan your day.

From the AI menu, select "Estimate time".

For more on time estimates, see time tracking.

What happens after I use the AI features?

When you use one of the AI features, dypt processes the request with a machine learning model. This model is trained on a large dataset. The model is constantly being improved and updated to provide the best results.

It is given your task title, and the titles of any parent tasks so that it understands the larger context of what you're trying to achieve.

The task will pulsate whilst the AI does its magic. Once ready, you’ll be redirected to the tasks page with the new items added. You can then edit any of the new items to your liking as you would with any other task.

Using AI features uses up AI credits, each AI action uses 1 credit for the currently selected AI intelligence level.

What happens to my data when I use the AI features?

dypt uses OpenAI as our third party AI provider. Open AI is a leading AI research lab that has developed some of the most advanced AI models in the world. They are committed to ensuring that their models are used responsibly and ethically.

We use gpt-4o-mini for our basic intelligence level and gpt-4o for our advanced intelligence level.

When you use one of the AI features, your task title, and the titles of any of its parent tasks are sent to the AI model. This is done via a secure connection in an anonymous fashion, no other identifying information or user metadata is shared with the AI.

OpenAI does not use data provided by dypt to train their models, per their API policy:

At OpenAI, protecting user data is fundamental to our mission. We do not train our models on inputs and outputs through our API. Learn more on our API data privacy page.
