Life Admin & HomeDone with Alexa+, ChatGPT
Turn spoken answers into a Todoist task list
Alexa sends spoken answers to ChatGPT, which organizes them into a formatted list of tasks for the household workflow.
- What They Did
- The poster built this in Home Assistant: Alexa asks follow-up questions through Alexa Actions, then the spoken replies are sent to Home Assistant’s openai conversation.process service so ChatGPT turns the free-form answer into a bracketed list like [item1,item2,...]. A Home Assistant automation loops over that returned list and creates the items in Todoist through the Todoist integration; the human just speaks the items and ends with no/stop/nothing.
- How It Went
- It worked for shopping-style capture, with the example splitting one spoken answer into separate Todoist items such as potatoes, 7 cans of cola, and eggs. The post gives no reliability metrics and says the author was relatively new to Home Assistant.
- Worth Knowing
- The main catch is that the source only sketches the flow; detailed instructions were not in the post itself, only a later comment saying a GitHub link was added.
Try it yourself with Alexa+
When I send a spoken or typed list of things to do to [Alexa/ChatGPT/trigger], organize it into separate tasks with a clear title, due date if mentioned, and a priority. Add each to my [Todoist project]. Before creating the tasks, show me the formatted list and wait for my approval; finish when all approved tasks appear in Todoist.
