2-b.ai

2-b.ai makes a strong first impression: zero setup, drag-and-drop task creation from any web page. For knowledge workers constantly toggling between email, docs, and notes, this eliminates the friction of copying and pasting. The AI chat adds a layer of refinement — you can ask it to break down tasks or reorganize them. When to pick this: If you want a lightweight, browser-native task manager that uses AI to convert context into actions. Ideal for individual users who rely on web apps like Gmail, Google Docs, and Notion. The Pro plan is cheap ($5.99/mo) and includes unlimited AI calls and calendar sync. When to pass: If you need mobile apps, desktop app support, or work on restricted pages (e.g., Google Search, desktop apps). The extension simply doesn't work everywhere. Also, if you need deep project management features (dependencies, Gantt charts, team collaboration), this isn't it. Closest alternative: Todoist with its browser extension can capture tasks quickly, but it lacks AI-driven context extraction and chat. Motion or Akiflow are smarter, but they're more expensive and heavier. 2-b.ai is a middle ground: simpler than Motion, smarter than a plain todo list. Real-world caveats: The free plan is capped at 50 AI calls, which may disappear fast if you capture many tasks. The roadmap is early — only Google Calendar integration so far, and a desktop app is still coming. If you rely on many productivity tools (Slack, Asana, Notion), you might feel the integration gap. For now, it's a promising solo task capture tool with room to grow.

2-b.ai is a Chrome extension that turns any web context into an AI-powered to-do list. It is designed for knowledge workers who want to capture tasks directly from Gmail, Google Docs, Notion, and other web pages without manual data entry. With a simple drag, the AI extracts context and creates a managed task. The tool syncs with Google Calendar and offers an AI Chat for task creation, deletion, and refinement. It uses GPAI-compliant models with verified copyright protection, so you don't need a separate OpenAI account. The free plan includes 50 AI calls; Pro unlocks unlimited AI to-do creation, task breakdown, and priority support. Compared to manual task managers like Todoist, 2-b.ai reduces friction by automating task capture from any browser content.
