Routine AI
Launched this week
Routine AI lets you control your tasks, calendar, notes and projects using your voice.
Just talk naturally to schedule meetings, add reminders, capture ideas, write notes, search your knowledge, update projects and automate repetitive work.

voice control for calendar and tasks sounds great until you say something ambiguous and it moves the wrong meeting or deletes the wrong reminder. with something like 'move my afternoon meetings to Friday' - does it show a confirmation of what it's about to change before committing, or does it just execute and you find out after the fact if it misheard something?
Routine
Hey @omri_ben_shoham1 . Yes everything is summarized before it commits. Nothing is done in real-time. That would be too dangerous as you rightly pointed out.
the example command in the launch bundles three separate actions in one utterance (move meetings, block time, set a reminder). if one of those three fails to resolve - say the Friday slot is already double-booked - does it still summarize and confirm the two that worked, or does the whole chain get held up waiting on the one that's ambiguous?
Routine
Hey @galdayan . Yes the assistant will check that there is a conflict and warn you. And in any case, it summarizes everything beforehand so you can edit (with voice) or commit.
@jmq that's the right call - summarize and let me commit or fix rather than silently guessing on the ambiguous one. blocking the whole chain on one bad slot would be worse than flagging it and moving on with the rest. good to know it's handled that way already.
Congrats on the launch! I've always thought a feature like this would be really useful. One thing I've run into with voice assistants is that they sometimes mishear what I say, which can lead to mistakes. How do you handle that? Does the AI confirm ambiguous requests before making changes?
Routine
Hey @jordan_valuable . You're right. It can sometimes not understand very well, in particular for non-English speakers (in English or in their mother language) but also because Routine's assistant can be used to capture a very short ask/command. This increases misunderstandings. The longer the ask, the clearer it is for the speak detection. But do not worry, in any case, everything that will be carried out is summarized before anything is done. If you're not happy with some items, just tell it to the assistant and it will correct.
One thing that would really help me as a user is a built-in time tracking feature inside each task, so I can see how much time I actually spend on a project versus what I estimated. Right now I have to jump to another app for that.
Routine
Hey @boran993212 . You can already do that with allocations. Drag & drop tasks in your calendar. Or use task-specific timers with the menu bar widget to record in your calendar time you've spent on a task. Then ask your assistant to sum it up. That's it.
Love that Routine combines tasks, docs, and calendars in one place, it would be great if you could add a "focus mode" that hides everything except your current task and a simple timer to track deep work sessions without leaving the app.

Indeed, we've thought about it for several years@metehangtcx . But not many people asked for it actually: https://feedback.routine.co/p/focus-mode-4
Love how you can keep tasks, docs, and calendars in one place. One thing I'd love to see is a quick "weekly review" view that pulls together completed tasks, updated docs, and upcoming meetings so I can actually reflect on the week without jumping around.
Routine
Hey @asminy6i5 . Well that's simple. Create a weekly AI automation that says something like "Analyze all the tasks I've worked on during the week and meetings I attended. Prepare a weekly report for me to reflect upon". Done. The AI will notify you once done with the report. Or you could even ask the AI automation to save the report in a database or document.
Love how Routine pulls everything into one place, the calendar + tasks combo has already replaced three tools for me. One thing I'd love to see is a lightweight inbox-style view that surfaces comments, mentions and assigned items across projects in a single feed, so nothing slips through when work moves fast.
Routine
Hey @berkehdyw . The inbox already surfaces mentions and collaborative work assignments. However you are right, we do not support comments yet. But those will come soon. And when they do, you will receive a notification in your inbox.
