Capture a task in seconds

1. 1Press N anywhere in Kairo (or tap the ✦ button in the mobile bar, or Capture in the desktop sidebar).
2. 2Type the thought exactly as you'd say it.
3. 3Press Enter.

That's it. With no date, the task lands in your Inbox, a holding pen you triage later, when you're planning rather than thinking.

After Enter, the panel stays with you for a moment: AI reads your sentence, and the finished task appears right there, its day, time, estimate and list, with a note on what AI filled in. Done closes it, Capture another keeps going, Open jumps into the task.

The same box takes instructions about tasks that already exist. Say move the quotation to monday, put the invoice in work, the electricity bill is done, delete the dentist thing, and Kairo does it, instead of writing down what you said.

The line under the box tells you what it understood before you commit to it — *Move “Send the quotation to Acme” to Monday* — and the button changes from Add to Do it. If two of your tasks could be the one you meant, it asks which rather than guessing. Everything it does comes back with Undo.

• Move it: move, push, snooze, reschedule, postpone — to a day (monday, tomorrow, 21 sep, in 3 days, next week), with a time if you like (monday 6pm), or to someday.
• File it: put the invoice in work, file the book under reading.
• Finish it: the bill is done, complete the deck, mark the invoice done.
• Lose it: delete the dentist thing, remove the old draft.
• The rest: rename X to Y, star the deck, start the quotation (opens the focus timer), the deck takes 45m.

You can put dates, times, estimates and lists straight into the sentence, and Kairo pulls them out as you type. Live chips under the box preview what it understood.

The full reference, including repeats like every mon and wed, is in dates, times, and other shortcuts.

Capture isn't only for tasks. Across its top are Task and Note; pick one before you type.

A note is saved exactly as typed, with no AI. A small message says it went to Notes, with Open to go straight there. Shift Enter saves and keeps the box open for the next one.

• No date → your Inbox, waiting to be planned.
• A day (today, fri, next week) → planned for that day, so it shows up on Today or the Calendar.
• A time but no day → today, at that time.
• A repeat but no day → the rule's first occurrence.

Every list, every day in the Calendar's week view, and Today itself have their own inline add row. They understand the same syntax, but default to that context, typing in Thursday's row plans it for Thursday, and typing in a list files it there.
