Task. Notes. AI. All in one. Talk, and it's handled. Codot is the AI voice assistant that turns whatever you say into to-dos, reminders, calendar events, notes, contacts and expenses. No typing, no tapping through five different apps. Say "Remind me to call Jack on Friday at 8, lunch with Maria on Tuesday, and I spent $42 on groceries." Codot files each piece where it belongs, then reminds you at the right moment. WHO CODOT IS FOR • Entrepreneurs and founders juggling clients, deals and a hundred loose ends • People with ADHD who need a thought captured the second it happens, before it slips away • Business owners who work on their feet: contractors, realtors, salon and shop owners, anyone whose hands are busy and whose desk is the front seat of a truck WHY PEOPLE SWITCH TO CODOT • One voice assistant replaces your to-do list, daily planner, reminder app, notes app, personal CRM and expense tracker • Speak naturally in your own language. Codot understands context, dates and people • It remembers everything so you don't have to. Ask "what did I say about the Berlin trip?" and get the answer • Built for busy minds and ADHD: capture the thought before it slips, let the AI do the sorting VOICE TO-DO LIST & TASK PLANNER Dump every task in one breath. Codot splits them up, sets due dates, prioritises and suggests what to do next. Check things off, or just tell it "done". SMART REMINDERS & AI CALENDAR Events and reminders land in your task calendar and sync with Apple Calendar. Codot learns your routine and nudges you at the right time, not at 3 am. VOICE NOTES & BRAIN DUMP Speak your thoughts, meeting notes or ideas. Speech-to-text transcribes them, AI tags and organises them, and you can search or ask about any note later. A voice recorder and note-taking app in one. PERSONAL CRM & CLIENT NOTES Mention a person and Codot builds a contact card: who they are, what you discussed, when to follow up. Never let a lead, a client or a friend go cold. Perfect for entrepreneurs, small business owners and anyone who lives off their network. BUILT FOR HANDS-FULL WORK On a job site, driving between clients, mid-shoot with a camera in your hands — typing isn't an option. Talk to Codot instead. It's idea capture for creators between takes, client notes for contractors between jobs, and a running list for solopreneurs who never sit at a desk long enough to type one. EMAIL ASSISTANT (GMAIL & OUTLOOK) Connect your inbox. Codot watches for invoices, subscriptions and urgent mail, drafts replies for your review and turns emails into tasks. You approve, it sends. EXPENSES, CALORIES & ANY LIST "Coffee 4.50" or "had a chicken salad for lunch": Codot logs expenses and meals from a sentence and shows weekly and monthly summaries. Any list you can imagine (inventory, attendance, reading list) becomes a collection you can export to Excel or CSV. FOCUS TIMER A built-in Pomodoro timer tracks focus sessions and billable hours. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE Share links from Safari, X, Reddit or Xiaohongshu into Codot. It summarises them and resurfaces them when they become relevant, so saved content never gathers dust. ASK YOUR OWN DATA "When am I most productive?" "What did I promise Sarah last week?" "How much did I spend on food in August?" Codot answers from your own notes, tasks and logs. It's a second brain with a voice. WORKS ON IPHONE, IPAD AND THE WEB Capture on the go, review on the big screen at codot.ai. Apple Calendar sync keeps everything in step. Available in 13 languages.
