Turn new Todoist tasks into a priority brief
Every new task gets a fast judgment call, so you can start with the right next move.
Trigger
New Task Created
Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.
Action
Create Chat Completion
Tool to create a chat completion using DeepSeek models (deepseek-chat or deepseek-reasoner). Use when you need to generate AI responses to chat conversations. Supports streaming, tool/function calling, and various parameters to control generation behavior (temperature, max_tokens, etc.).
Why this helps
New tasks pile up without a clear order, creating decision fatigue and stalled starts.
- Reduce time spent deciding what to do first
- Get a concrete next action for vague tasks
- Keep task triage consistent

- 4Pick the Todoist New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Todoist task and review the generated brief.
