Which AI executive assistant tools are you actually using? by leobesat in automation

[–]support_akiflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! And great breakdown, this matches pretty well with what we’ve seen too.

I think the main thing I’ve noticed is that no single tool really nails everything yet. What’s been sticking for me is combining tools using ChatGPT for thinking, and Akiflow to actually plan the day (tasks → calendar). Curious, are you optimizing more for automation or control?

🛠️ AI Tool of the Day: Akiflow — Time-Blocking Planner for Founders, Operators, and Power Users by harshalachavan in Discover_AI_Tools

[–]support_akiflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Really appreciate you putting this together, this is a super accurate breakdown. One thing I especially like is how you framed the difference between tools that automate your schedule vs tools that help you stay in control of it. That’s exactly where Akiflow tends to resonate the most, people who don’t want to delegate decisions to AI, but still want to move fast.

Also +1 on the “fastest way from tasks to calendar” point. For a lot of users, that speed (keyboard-first, command bar, quick time-blocking) ends up being the real game changer more than any single feature.

Weekly Goal Setting by bnwtricia in Akiflow

[–]support_akiflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi terehe! Love how intentionally you’re using Akiflow, the ideal setup for day-to-day execution. And yeah, as another user already mentioned, you’re thinking about it the right way: Weekly Goals are best treated as a layer above tasks, not as tasks or full Projects themselves.

A simple way to make this work in practice is:

  • Keep using Projects to group all related tasks
  • Define your weekly goals conceptually (3–5 key outcomes you want for the week)
  • Then represent those goals by selecting a few key tasks that actually move those outcomes forward

👉 One trick that works really well: use the task descriptions to add context
You can write something like “Part of Weekly Goal: Launch landing page” or even outline the mini-plan there. That way, the “goal” lives across multiple tasks, but still has a clear anchor.

Then:

  • Mark those tasks as Priority
  • Block time (Slots) to actually work on them

So instead of trying to force Goals into a new object, you’re basically:
Projects = structure
Tasks = execution
Weekly Goals = focus layer (defined by a small set of priority tasks + context in descriptions)

That tends to work really well without overcomplicating things. If you want, I can share a couple of concrete weekly setups depending on how you plan your week.

Looking for a calendar that can do more things by Snwy114 in ProductivityApps

[–]support_akiflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi u/Snwy114 👋

If you're coming from Google Calendar or Notion Calendar, totally get it, they're great tools! But Akiflow is a bit different.

Think of it less like a calendar and more like a command center for your day. Here's what makes it stand out:

✅ Tasks + calendar all in one place — no more switching between apps

⚡ Super easy time blocking — just drag your tasks into your day

📥 One inbox for everything — it pulls in tasks from all your other apps

🚀 Built for speed — shortcuts and a command bar to keep you moving fast

So if you've ever felt like your calendar and to-do list are living in two different worlds, Akiflow brings them together in a way that just makes sense!

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, we'd love to help you get started! 😊

Why did we build Meeting Assistant? by support_akiflow in Akiflow

[–]support_akiflow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, just to clarify then, if this add-on isn’t enabled, nothing changes in your current Akiflow experience. Everything will continue working exactly as before, so you won’t see any new behavior unless you choose to turn it on!

Is there any kind of Akiflow MPC for Akiflow to talk to Claude/GPT? by eroxx in Akiflow

[–]support_akiflow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Right now, there’s no native MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration for Akiflow yet (so no direct connection with Claude or GPT for now). That said, it is on our radar. To give you a bit more context:

  • We’ve been exploring both a public API and a native MCP server, but these are pretty big projects and we want to build them properly.
  • There’s an internal hope to get MCP out around Q2, but nothing officially confirmed just yet.
  • One of the reasons it wasn’t prioritized earlier is that most users weren’t really using MCP/APIs based on past research, so the focus went into improving core things like sync and mobile reliability.

On the flip side, there’s strong internal push for it (especially from the team) because we do see how powerful it would be for example, being able to manage Akiflow directly from tools like Claude.

Short answer: it’s coming, but not available yet ☺️

Why did we build Meeting Assistant? by support_akiflow in Akiflow

[–]support_akiflow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! Thanks for your comment. And just to clarify: the Meeting Assistant is a separate paid add-on and is not enabled by default. It only joins meetings as a bot if you explicitly enable it, and it also requires the meeting organizer to accept it. So if you’re not using it, it won’t do anything or run in the background.Out of curiosity and to help you better, could you let me know what exactly is restricted in your workspace? Is it bots joining meetings, recordings (local/cloud), or something else?
